Mid-season TV cheat sheet

When are your favorite TV shows coming back?  Where are new episodes of ABC’s Modern Family, FlashForward, V, and Castle?  What about FOX‘s House, Fringe, and Glee?  And what of NBC’s The Office, Parks & Rec, and Heroes?  CBS’ The Mentalist and The Big Bang Theory? I can’t wait for the return of Lost, 24, and American Idol, but when do they air?  When does Dollhouse air its series finale?  RELAX, fellow TV viewer.  Posted after the break is a mid-season TV cheat sheet that provides a complete schedule of when shows return and when season premieres air.  Be sure to thank EW’s intern Sandra Gonzalez in the comments for her beautiful work.
