See what I mean?
According to the release, “I Hate My Teenage Daughter” will return with all-new episodes following “American Idol” in the spring. If this had been yesterday, I would have told you not to hold your breath, but “Daughter” had a good premiere last night…
Also, “Glee” and “Bones” are scheduled to return with new episodes in the spring…
The thing that really bothers me is that “Breaking In” is scheduled to follow a rerun of “New Girl.” I’m hoping they’ll find something else to put there between now and March…
In case you’ve forgotten, “Alcatraz” is the drama from J.J. Abrams starring Sam Neill and Jorge Garcia. “Touch” is the new Kiefer Sutherland drama (WOO HOO!) and “The Finder” is the “Bones” spin-off…
