The winter months mean that there's often nothing on television, as most shows tend to go on break this time of year. Some return quickly, but others won't return until spring.

Of course, many television viewers probably think the midseason hiatus is ridiculous and it's often provided the nail in the coffin that dooms some shows to failure (does anyone remember The Event?). It's too easy to forget that a show hasn't ended its season, but only its midseason.

However, most series do return to TV, so we've put together a guide so you know what's coming back and when. We've also included shows making their season premieres this winter, so you won't end up with nothing to watch while waiting for your favorites to return.
