Its time again for the Winter 2008 TV Premiers & I have a complete list of the premiers for you. With the writers strike having removed most hope for good, new television programming you may be thinking there won't be any new TV shows this Winter season. Well, your almost right as there are more reality television shows than ever and this batch looks to be some of the worst excuses for TV I've ever seen. Shows such as "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew" and "The Bussey Bunch" join our better known reality shows like American Idol.
But there's also a few promising shows that are premiering this Winter season including Jericho Season 2 and nine episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. There are also some episode remaining from the Fall 2007 season that will air this Winter.
I've gathered a complete listing of all of the TV Season Premiers for Winter 2008 for you. This list includes all the new premiers for the major TV Networks (broadcast and cable) in the U.S.
