TV CALENDAR 2012: Midseason Shows
March 9, 2012  | By Diane Werts
 
Mad-Men-AMC-Season-5-window.jpg
New shows just keep on coming, even after the arrival of Smash, Awake, Luck, Life's Too Short and GCB.

This midseason has plenty more on the way, and we've got the calendar, from this weekend's HBO Palin/McCain movie Game Change to May's House finale, and beyond.

Check out dozens of upcoming series, movies, specials, premieres, finales, awards shows and 7,352 programs about the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. (Okay, we got carried away on that last one.)

We'll keep adding to the list as more shows are announced.
