Wow, that was quick -- ABC's newest hit series FlashForward is already coming to DVD!

FlashForward: Volume 1 contains the first 10 season one episodes (430 minutes to be exact) and will arrive at a store near you on February 23, 2010. The new season begins on March 4, so this DVD release will allow existing viewers to play catch up and perhaps lure in a whole new crop of fans looking to discover what the fuss is all about.

Also Coming to DVD....

Since many TV series are now breaking their seasons into two parts, a two-part DVD release appears to be the latest trend. Fox's mega-hit series Glee has aired their winter finale (and not returning until April), a DVD release is on its way. Glee: Season 1, Vol. 1 - The Road to Sectionals arrives on December 29 and it includes a special director's cut of the pilot episode, as well as a few other fun special features sure to please any "Gleek." My only complaint: Not released in time for Christmas. [Compare Prices]

Awards season has officially begun. Hot on the heels of the announcement of the Golden Globe Award nominees comes the nominees for the Screen Actors Guild awards. Much like the Golden Globe and People's Choice nominees, the majority of the SAG nominees come from the cable networks.

True Blood, Mad Men and Dexter are the trendy nominees for all three award ballots this year. Also receiving several nods are the successful freshman series Glee and The Good Wife. Surprisingly, Perennial nominee House did not make the list this year in the drama series category.

Will your favorites win the big award? Find out when the Screen Actors Guild Awards airs January 23 on TNT and TBS.

The Oscars and Emmys may be considered the highest honor for actors/shows/movies on the big and small screen, but I think most consider the Golden Globe Awards as a prelude to the award ceremonies in year ahead. As the new decade begins, the stars from both screens celebrate the best of the best in the industry with the first big awards ceremony of the year....

The Hollywood Foreign Press announced their nominees for the 2010 Golden Globe Awards and once again, the cable shows dominate each of the major categories. Could network television eventually be a thing of the past? As strange as that may sound, when you think in terms of the quality of shows such as Mad Men or Big Love, where the writers have more creative control, viewers would be treated to an endless array of absolutely fantastic television. Imagine the possibilities!

Did your favorite shows earn a nomination? Which shows do you feel got snubbed? Be sure to tune in to see who will take home the gold when the Golden Globe Awards airs live January 24 on NBC.

He's making a list, he's checking it twice and if he's been watching primetime television, he already knows who's been naughty and who's been nice.

As much as we love those sweet, wholesome characters, some of the most dynamic and intriguing characters are those who toe the line between what is right and often, what is most convenient and beneficial to that character. From those who use their extraordinary abilities for the greater good, to a couple of charmingly fanged beings, Santa certainly has his work cut out for him this holiday season.

Was your favorite television character naughty or nice? Find out who we think deserves a big lump of coal and who is likely to get everything on their list.

The traditional TV season no longer runs just from September until May, these days there are three parts consisting of: Fall, Midseason and Summer. Now that we're officially out of the fall season, those midseason shows are about to start rolling in....

The Deep End is now set to premiere on Thursday, January 21 on ABC. The new series takes over the 8pm spot temporarily left vacant by FlashForward. Could this new series be the next big show?

Premise: A swanky LA law firm recruits four newly graduated lawyers from the best law schools in the country. This group of lawyers soon realizes that they must work together as they compete against each other if they are going to survive in this crazy world.

ABC's Description: "Sex, greed, romance, betrayal - it's all part of being a first year associate at Sterling Law."

Cast: Matt Long as Dylan Hewitt, Ben Lawson as Liam Priory, Tina Majorino as Addy Fisher, Norbert Leo Butz as Rowdy Kaiser, Leah Pipes as Beth Bancroft, Billy Zane as Cliff Huddle, Nicole Ari Parker as Susan Oppenheim and Clancy Brown as Hart Sterling.

The single most traumatic event in the world of television is when a network cancels a show. The fans feel the most helpless because other than organize a campaign, they really have no control over the network's decision to axe a show.

One thing the networks have failed to realize over the years is that many fans become reluctant to begin watching a new series (especially the serialized shows) for fear that once invested, it'll only get canceled without any warning, or worse -- without any closure.

We've seen some big shows get their pink slips over the last ten years (especially in 2008), but we feel the following shows hit fans the hardest based on your feedback. Did your favorite show(s) make the list?

It's hard to believe that we're so far into the season that reruns and alternative programming are already dominating the schedule. As we head into the last week of new episodes (in which there are only a few), I'm sure you're all anxious to find out when your favorite dramas are set to return.

Usually we don't see TV dramas return until late January (the networks save those episodes for February sweeps), so I was thrilled to learn that most of the major shows are set to come back in the first two weeks of the month. The Tuesday night CBS lineup that includes NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles and The Good Wife will return on January 5. Nip/Tuck begins their final season on January 6. The CBS Friday night lineup that includes Ghost Whisperer, Medium and Numb3rs heads back into our living rooms on January 7.

Several shows including Glee, Fringe, FlashForward and Gossip Girl won't be returning to the schedule until March/April.

Remaining TV Drama Premiere Schedule

The '90s may have been filled with memorable shows such as Seinfeld, ER and Friends, but the millennium brought a whole new set of TV shows that completely changed television. The networks finally realized we needed smarter television; we needed shows that would no longer be classified as "mindless television." And boy did they deliver!

In the last decade, geeks have become cool, vampires and humans are living harmoniously, dramedies became more popular than traditional comedies and forensic dramas ruled the ratings.

My pick for the most influential show of the decade goes to a little show called Lost. Do any of you ever remember a show that has viewers spending hours and hours trying to decipher some clue, or even play a sound clip backwards? The fans have definitely enhanced my viewing experience over the years, and I have to admit that I have become totally dependent upon them to help me uncover the many clues I may not have picked up on during an episode.

Find out which shows we felt were the most influential of the '00s and be sure to let us know your picks.

ABC's Ugly Betty is being taken off the hospice list and placed back amongst the living this January when the network moves the gang to Wednesdays.

Beginning January 6, Ugly Betty will take over the Wednesday, 10pm ET timeslot that will be vacated by the recently canceled drama Eastwick. I do believe that if not for the big change, ABC would have canceled Ugly Betty very, very soon.

Let's face it, unless you're a drama on CBS, nothing is ever going to succeed on Friday nights. Gone are those TGIF days on ABC (anyone remember Urkel?), any show that is scheduled for Fridays is practically destined to be canceled -- it's where good shows go to die a sometimes slow and painful death. The fact that ABC has moved Ugly Betty to a new night shows that the network is not ready to give up on our girl just yet. Score one for the good guys!
