Every year in December or January when the fall shows go on hiatus, the networks start new or returning shows for fans to enjoy. Midseason is a time for all the current TV shows to take a break and halt production for a while. The shows tend to leave fans on edge and wanting more. There is nothing worse than having to wait to find out what happens to your favorite characters. In this season's case, shows like "The Vampire Diaries" is taking a two month break while "Glee" is taking a five month break! That is pure torture! But the "Gleeks" won't give up on the show in the mean time. I'm pretty sure.
Usually during midseason, the networks debut a bunch of reality shows, new and old. Reality are easier to start off midseason due to their shortened seasons. It only takes so many weeks to get through a competition and when that show finishes, another show can start up again. Some of the reality shows include "American Idol", "The Bachelor", "Dancing with the Stars", and "The Biggest Loser". "American Idol" is the only show out of those that airs only once a year. Other shows that usually do not come back til midseason are popular shows such as "Lost" and "24". All the anticipation builds up for these shows for the entire year. One show that is coming back this year, December 1st, is "Scrubs". "Scrubs" was supposed to be cancelled, but the show decided to come back with only two original cast members back on a regular basis. The show is essentially a spin-off, originally going to be called "Scrubs Med", but the network decided against it. Will it succeed or fail? Only time will tell.
Midseason shows offer viewers something new from what they have been watching all fall season. So check out what is coming to the networks. Maybe you want to check something new out or just use it as a distraction for your other shows being gone.
