You wouldn’t believe how many new shows are starting this month. I’m talking brand new. Season one. Get in on the ground floor shows. Showtime and Netflix in particular have a ton of new shows starting. Then of course there’s an unhealthy amount of Christmas specials. Movies too, but I had to omit them or the list would have gone on forever.
