Schedule Changes Are Coming
The Chicago Tribune’s entertainment section, “The Watcher,” has a rundown on strike-related programming today.
First, Jericho will return with seven new episodes on February 12. CBS was going to cancel Jericho last year, but fans mounted a strong blog campaign and kept it on the air. Their reward is coming soon.
Law and Order is coming back - don’t worry. There will be some cast changes, but new episodes will start airing on January 2. Sam Waterston will still be on the show, and some new talent will arrive. Law and Order: Criminal Intent moved to USA network. NBC needs them back because of their lack of new content. LOCI returns to NBC on January 9.
Also making comebacks are The New Adventures of Old Christine, with Julia Louis Dreyfus, which begins its third season January 28 on CBS.
