Not only is The Bachelor officially back but there’s also a lot more tv to look forward to in the coming weeks.  Over the holidays I was intrigued by promo commercials for Alcatraz and a few weeks ago I read an article and watched the preview for the new show Smash starring Debra Messing.  Here are some others that I’m really looking forward to watching:

• The Firm, starring swoon-worthy Josh Lucas — Thursday, January 12 on NBC
• House of Lies, starring Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell (let’s be hones, I have a girl crush on Veronica Mars so that’s where this excitement is coming from) — Sunday, Janaury 8 on Showtime
• The Finder, a Bones spinoff — Thursday, January 12 on FOX
• Alcatraz, from the creators of Lost and starring that one really likable guy from Lost  — Monday, January 16 on FOX
• Smash, starring Debra Messing & Katharine McPhee — Monday, February 6

Check out photos and summaries of these and other shows coming soon.  What’s on your DVR list?
