Last Friday, February 10, Fox released a statement about their spring programming, most of which was about boring non-sci-fi shows. There were some entries about the good shows, though, so grab your calendar so that you can align your life appropriately:

***************************SATURDAY
Saturday, April 21:
11:00 PM-Midnight ALCATRAZ (encore)
We’ll have two more new episodes of Fringe this month, on the 17th and the 24th (meaning it will be on throughout February sweeps), then it’s off for three weeks. Starting March 23, we’ll get EIGHT NEW EPISODES IN A ROW.
Likewise, Alcatraz will also continue on through February sweeps, airing tonight, the 20th, and the 27th.
Touch had a 13-episode order, so that starts on March 12th with an “encore presentation” (repeat of the February “sneak peek”) of the Pilot and presumably runs straight through June 4th, but it’s always possible there’ll be a double-episode night, and/or it may skip Memorial Day.
As always, keep an eye on your local listings.
Alcatraz airs Mondays at 9/8c through February 27, then moves to 8/7c throughout March, on Fox.
Touch airs Mondays at 9/8 beginning March 12, on Fox.
Fringe airs Fridays at 9/8 on Fox.
