YOUR FAVORITE RETURNING SHOWS!

“Arrow” Returns January 15th at 8pm (CW)

The show about how the superhero/vigilante Oliver Queen came to be known as The Green Arrow has been one thrill after another and a big part of that is his partner John  Diggle played by former stuntman David Ramsey. The two play off each other naturally and it’s truly a joy to watch them work. Arrow doesn’t look like it’s losing speed, so we recommend you catch up while you still can.

“Hannibal” Returns February 28th at 10pm (NBC)

Easily one of the creepiest and best written shows NBC has to offer. The gore is balanced out with the brilliant cast including Laurence Fishburne in the role of FBI Behavioral Sciences Unit commander Jack Crawford. This show has a lot to offer, though we can’t say it’s for the faint of heart.
