Also added to the lineup will be Lipstick Jungle, a new dramedy starring Lindsay Price, Kim Raver and Brooke Shields.Here is a summary of the press release:
- American Gladiators, hosted by Hulk Hogan and Laila Ali, will make its long-awaited return on Sunday, January 6 at 9 p.m. and will settle in its regular 8 p.m. timeslot on Monday, January 7.
- Law & Order will premiere on January 2 with a two-hour premiere and then settle in its timeslot on January 9 at 10 p.m.

"Bionic Woman" missing, that may be a mercy killing. However, I don't see "Life". I understood it was picked up for a whole season... when is it expected to return?

Remember that a lot of shows (including new ones) will have aired all their completed-before-the-strike episodes before the Holidays that is why some of them are not appearing in the winter schedule.

"Life" and "Chuck" were given it's back none order, but it doesn't mean a lot if there's no one available to write the episodes.
