Do you know what that's about if it isn't the premier?

 

[bicker]

The special will be called "Surviving Survivor". Details here: http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox/2009/12/survivor-amazing-race-return-in-february.html

ABC has ordered two additional episodes of Castle, for this season. One will be broadcast on Sunday, March 21, after Desperate Housewives. I'm not sure where the other one will fit in; it is possible that there will just be one less rerun in April.

 

[bicker]

Syfy has picked up the second season of Merlin. It'll be broadcast starting on April 2, alongside Stargate Universe.

 

[bicker]

Saving Grace will return, for its final season of nine episodes, on March 29.

 

[CourtasanSatine]

I'm actually getting into Caprica of all shows.

Anyone know who is getting series 5 of Doctor Who?

 

[bicker]

I would expect to see all future Doctor Who episodes on BBC America (at least first and perhaps only).
