Jack is back! And, so is Betty, Simon and a host of others as the beginning of the year brings with it some brand new (and some returning) television shows that’ll be vying for your undivided attention. Here are a few to keep your eyes on…
On FOX
American Idol – The holy grail of reality entertainment shows returns for its 8th season. Has it been around that long?! This season is a little different in that there has been a fourth (gasp!) judge, which will hopefully add a little more spice to the program when it kicks off on January 13th.
24 – The unstoppable Jack Bauer is ready for action yet again as he does more things in a 24 hour period that most people do all year. See him go starting January 12th.
Lie To Me – From the producers of “24” comes “Lie To Me,” a show about a private agency hired by the FBI who’s job it is to find out who is lying and why. The hour-long drama debuts on January 21st.
Dollhouse – Sci-fi guru Josh Whedon (creator of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” & “Firefly”) brings his latest thriller to the small screen. Starring Eliza Dushku, the series begins on February 13th.
On FX
Damages – This show is off the charts awesome. We were blown away by season one and season two continues to deliver the punches as it takes off on January 7th.
Nip/Tuck – Oh, the doctoral twosome of McNamara and Troy never fails to bore us. The continuation of season five, under the knives in LA, debuts on January 6th.
On ABC
Lost – How do they get off the island? Are they going back? What the hell is going on? Hopefully all these questions will be answered starting January 21st.

On CBS

On Showtime
The United States of Tara – Steven Spielberg not only does wonders on the big screen but on the small screen as well. Case in point: “The United States of Tara,” a show about woman who tried to maintain a balancing act between raising her family and her dissociative identity disorder. Sounds complex. Check it out beginning January 18th.
