Good TV in January

For once, we won't have to wait until the last week of January to get new television! Usually, the second week of December until the last week of January is a total wasteland of television, but a number of networks are launching new shows or showing new episodes in January.

Alias and 24 both start this week (Wednesday and Sunday respectively). Midseason replacement series also start this month, including Committed, Medium, Numb3rs, and Point Pleasant. I haven't seen any reviews for those shows yet, but I'll be interested to see if critics/tv columnists think they are worth checking out. And the new trend of playing shows without repeats (Alias, 24, Everwood for the rest of the season) is going to be quite nice!
