As we inch closer to the end of the year and midseason break for a whole lot of shows, we're seeing a whole lot more previews out there going live. It makes sense since midseason finale cliffhangers have become nearly as common as season finale cliffhangers. We'll have a better idea of where things are heading with CBS and Joe Port & Joe Wiseman's Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar-starring Ghosts a little later this month when the two-episode S05E09/S05E10: "It's a Wonderful Christmas Carol" hits our screens.
