NBC Announces Midseason Schedule

NBC have now released their full reality-filled writers' strike-induced midseason schedule including the return of Patricia Arquette-fronted psychic drama "Medium." Check out the new schedule, after the jump.

"Medium" will be back in its original time slot from 2005, Mondays at 10:00 p.m. The show was moved to Wednesday nights last season to make way for "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," but the ratings declined.

In addition to "Medium" there is more scripted drama on the reality-heavy schedule with all 3 incarnations of the "Law & Order" franchise, new episodes of "Friday Night Lights" and "Las Vegas" and the new dramedy "Lipstick Jungle."

On Thursdays night, the Peacock will rotate repeats of its critically-acclaimed comedies. NBC's signature series "Heroes" as well as the freshman dramas "Chuck" and "Life" are, for the time being, on hiatus until further notice.
