After months of the networks airing only reality shows and re-runs due to the writers strike, this week we finally started to see some of our favorite sitcoms and dramas making it back on air. Monday night, brand new episodes of “How I Met Your Mother”, “The Big Bang Theory,” and “Two and a Half Men” aired for the first time since back in late November.

Next week, we’ll see shows like, CBS’ “CSI: Miami” and “Cold Case” come back. Then, the first week of April, CBS’ “Criminal Minds,” “CSI,” “Without a Trace,” “Ghost Whisperer” and NBC’s “My Name Is Earl” will all return. Most of the other fall shows will make it back by the end of April. CW’s “Gossip Girl” is one of MY personal favs, so I can’t wait until its first new episode airs April 21st.

For all of my fellow “Heroes” fans out there, sorry to disappoint you, but it won’t be back until the next Fall season. Also NBC’s “Chuck” and “Pushing Daisies” won’t be coming back until then either. And here’s a few shows that, due to poor ratings, may not be coming back at all, ABC’s “Big Shots”, NBC’s “Bionic Woman”, and CBS’s “Cane”, I guess we’ll just have to see over the next coming weeks, but I’ll keep you guys posted.

Actually, I’m a major Reality TV junkie, so the writer’s strike really didn’t upset me too much. I’ve really been enjoying American Idol and the special airing of Big Brother. So I have had plenty to keep me entertained!
