Now that 2013 is here, it's time for the return of fall television shows, and the premiere of (many) new and returning midseason series. So to help you keep your New Year's resolution of keeping up with your favorite shows, here's a handy guide to television's first three months of 2013. With over 130 listings, you'll definitely need it.
Although the first week of the year has started off a bit slow for television, American Horror Story, Elementary and The Big Bang Theory didn't waste any time in their returns, and have already come out of hiatus. Unfortunately, the majority of shows have held off their returns for a few weeks, which means (many) coming days of new and returning series battling it out for your attention. Excited yet?
You can check out the completely list of dates below:

January combines returning shows with new series and season premieres, so it's going to take a bit of effort to make sure that you're able to watch all of your favorite shows, while also catching the new shows. After figuring out when everything comes back from hiatus, the premieres of Downton Abbey, Justified, Workaholics, Archer, Face Off and Spartacus: War of the Damned await you. If you're looking for something new to watch, Kevin Bacon's new Fox series, The Following, brings the dark tale of a serial killer on the loose to network television.
