It is hard to believe, but the first part of the TV viewing season is coming to an end and we are about to enter in 45 days of reruns and holiday specials. Don’t get too sad though. You may have to wait until February 12th for the next new episode of The Walking Dead, but FOX has just come out with their mid season schedule and it is chock full of goodies.
Not only do we have the premier of JJ Abrams’ ‘Alcatraz’, but we’ve also got The Napoleon Dynamite Animated series and the return of ‘Breaking In’.
