House, Ugly Betty, Gossip Girl and Flashforward...does anyone know when these very important parts of my life are coming back?!

I hardly get the chance to watch TV during term time but Sky+ all of the above. During the Xmas hols I've made a mammoth and superhuman effort to watch as much as poss and have caught up with them all!
However they all seem to have stopped mid-series, no more series links, A-Z search reveals nothing...what is going on?! Can only find US info on line, can anyone help?!

Flashforward isn't coming back until at least April.

I did know House, but can't remember, let me go check.

Caz10 · 03/01/2010 13:46

April?!
actually it's my least favourite of the lot so can live with that.
Do you know any good websites serenity? I find the TV channels own ones are a bit useless.

Well House is back on 1/11 in the States so it'll be the week, or week after here. Sky+ should pick it up automatically when it gets to the right week.

No idea about the others. If the channels are following the US showings close enough to get the holiday hiatus then check when they return there, as we'll get them within a week or so.

serenity · 03/01/2010 13:57

That should be 11/1 (January not November, sorry!)

Wikipedia's usually quite up-to-date if a show has a good fanbase. If not TV.com is pretty good. The UK site still has all the US dates on it, and it tends to be pretty detailed. Also Digital Spy can have some good info on it, although you often have to search for it. Finally, depending on the programme, SFX Forum has a thread 'This Show starts in the Uk...when?' thread that's usually pretty accurate

I spend too long on the 'net don't I?

girlsyearapart · 03/01/2010 14:11

APRIL???? I will have forgotten what the hell was going on by then!

Wish I'd watched House it looks good.

UnquietDad · 03/01/2010 14:13

I have absolutely no interest in the first three, but FlashForward is back in March, I believe. They have rested it in the US to allow it not to have a Winter Olympics break in the middle. Kind of buggers up the whole "real time" feel. I mean, who gives a shit about the bloody Winter Olympics??

girlsyearapart · 03/01/2010 14:26

Not me winter olympics boo hiss

I need FlashForward.

At least March more bearable than April..

llareggub · 03/01/2010 14:33

I read recently that FF is back later this month, which is why Fiver has been showing it back-to-back.

paddingtonbear1 · 03/01/2010 14:35

I watch FlashForward as well, but my fave has to be Lost. I am still waiting!!

diddl · 03/01/2010 14:40

I´m also enjoying Flashforward, but wonder if they will do too many series, as with Lost & I will give up caring what it´s all about?

Flamesparrow · 03/01/2010 14:45

What you need is...next episode

You make a profile, type in all your shows, and it tells you when they are next on They are US ones, but as a general rule things are only a few days later in the UK now, so you know to start looking at the right channels from then on iyswim

Flamesparrow · 03/01/2010 14:47

apart from ugly betty and desperate housewives which seems to be months later

becklespeckle · 03/01/2010 14:58

These mid-series breaks are driving me up the wall! I thought Ugly Betty was finished? Am I wrong? Hope so, didn't like the end of the last episode - all too sad . Glad House will be back soon (missing him).

Hi Caz BTW, how are you?

Flamesparrow · 03/01/2010 15:01

It finished, but the next series is already on in the US.

I cried over UB

becklespeckle · 03/01/2010 15:12

Me too

serenity · 03/01/2010 15:27

Flashforward Yep, sorry March (in the US) Stupid US dates again! Starts back on the 4th March, not the 3rd April (which is how I read it!) It keeps changing dates though so, I'll trust it when I see it...

serenity · 03/01/2010 15:35

In the meantime... can I recommend Leverage which starts on Bravo on 20/1 (I think) and The Vampire Diaries which is on ITV2 soon (takes a couple of episodes to get into it though)

Sandy22 · 03/01/2010 17:14

serenity - I love vampire diaries, have been watching it on-line, it is back on 17th Jan. I'm missing Grey's anatomy as well - this is too back in January.

satc2bringiton · 03/01/2010 17:21

Didnt Ugly Betty just finish?

Looking forward to DH but I gave up with FF.

GossipMonger · 03/01/2010 20:33

The last episode I saw of UB was when Daniels wife fell to the floor in the bathroom..... has there been another episode since then?

warthog · 03/01/2010 20:35

i don't think so...

UnquietDad · 03/01/2010 20:55

I gave up on Desperate Milfs after series 2. DW informs me that they have just jumped 5 years into the future. A shark was passed on the way, no doubt.

Caz10 · 03/01/2010 21:13

I liked DH when they jumped into the future! Shows how long that has been off for, I used to love it but had forgotten all about it.

Great links Serenity, thank you! Not too long to wait for House at least.

GossipMonger I don't think there's been another UB since then, at least Sky+ doesn't think there has been.

When FF went off, the announcer said it would be back "after Xmas" - March is pushing it a bit to fit that description!

Hello Beckle!! I am v well thanks, you? DD was 2 just before Xmas, can't believe it! Do you still manage to keep up with the PN thread? I don't get to MN ha;f as much as I'd like now that I'm back at work, poo.

Yes - there was one (or two) more eps after that.

Final ep involved a window and awards

Caz10 · 03/01/2010 21:50

Is that UB flamesparrow? Was that not the same episode?
