It’s official: Breaking In‘s second season has been set! Beside the struggled comedy’s return, we also have the premieres of Touch, Alcatraz, Napoleon Dynamite, and more all set in stone. What about returning favorites like Glee and New Girl?
Glee will take a hiatus at the end of February, wrapping up its winter episodes, and will return sometime in the spring (most likely mid-April). The mid-season finale will be February 21st.
Breaking In will return on March 6th, where it will air at 8:30 after a New Girl repeat and a New Girl premiere, with Raising Hope bowing at 9:30. I Hate My Teenage Daughter, which premiered last night, will disappear after December 21st, and will (possibly) come back in the spring.
House will move to 8PM starting January 23rd, with Alcatraz airing at its regular timeslot at 9PM. One week earlier, the new mystery drama will air a two hour series premiere from 8-10PM, with a special two hour season finale on March 12th as well.
The new drama Touch, which features the return of Kiefer Sutherland, will premiere on March 19th at 9PM, filling Alcatraz‘ place after it wraps up its first season.
Wednesdays are meant for reality as American Idol debuts on January 18th, while Howie Mandel’s Mobbed airs directly afterwards. Kitchen Nightmares returns on Fridays on January 13th, followed by the continuation of Fringe.
Animation Domination does not appear unscathed either. Napoleon Dynamite will premiere on January 15th, while Allen Gregory appears done for the time being. Bob’s Burgers will air in March after Dynamite’s season ends, while Family Guy andThe Simpsons remain fine. American Dad will continue at 9:30, while The Cleveland Show remain outlandish at best in the 7:30 time spot.
