Set up those DVRs: January is big month for all things TV.
From the return of fan-favorites (hello, Bachelor) to promising-looking new productions (The Assassination of Gianni Versace! The Resident!), the small screen will be home to a whole lot of must-watch programs. We are, after all, living through the golden age of television.
Here is a list of future premiere dates that you should add to your personal calendars—including some recurring shows that premiered this past week:
January 1
The Bachelor (ABC): Fans are divided on this one: Will real estate agent Ariel Luyendyk Jr. (who got dumped by Bachelorette Emily Mynard back in 2012) be a good bachelor? We shall collectively wait and see.
The Frozen Dead (Netflix): This is a French thriller (original name: Glacé) about (what else?) mysterious murders that seem to be orchestrated by a psychopath while in jail.
Lovesick (Netflix): The third season of the British sitcom continues to focus on Dylan, who finds out he has chlamydia and must notify all his former sexual partners.
January 2
Ellen's Game of Games (NBC): It's a game show. With Ellen DeGeneres. What else do you need to know?
LA to Vegas (FOX): Dylan McDermott stars as Captain Dave Pratman, the pilot of a budget airline who mainly operates weekend flights from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
January 3
9-1-1 (FOX): Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, the new series stars Angela Bassett, Peter Krause and Connie Britton and chronicles the life of Los Angeles first responders—think firefighters, dispatchers, cops and more.
grown-ish (Freeform): A spin-off of ABC's Black-ish, the single-camera comedy follows Zoey as she's off to college.
January 4

January 23
Baskets (FX): Zach Galifianakis is back for season three of his slightly odd and incredibly funny show about professional clowns.
