January is just around the corner and with it brings new series as well as plenty of returning shows. Up ahead, we have the 2011 Winter TV premiere schedule, so you can keep track of what’s premiering when as midseason gets going.

The networks have a tendency to shift things around, so it’s possible some of the dates/times may change. We also consider this schedule a work-in-progress, so keep an eye out for updates (and feel free to post requests in the comments section below!).
