Used to watching your Law & Order: SVU @ 10:00? Too bad. Jay Leno’s got that time slot locked up for quite some time. Are your Tuesday nights devoted to Dancing with the Stars? Well, FOX is hoping you’ll check out the competition on So You Think You Can Dance. Like catching up with Medium on NBC Mondays? Start looking for Patricia Arquette on CBS Fridays.
Hopefully our detailed guide can assist you in the weeks to come. We have compiled information from the five major networks and included the days, times and premiere dates for this season’s programs.
(NOTE: This schedule has been updated as of November 19. Don’t be surprised to see changes in the weeks to come.)
