Who's in the mood to find out when The Rookie, High Potential, Will Trent, the upcoming Scrubs return, Shifting Gears, 9-1-1, American Idol, 9-1-1: Nashville, The Bachelorette, and a whole lot of other ABC programming will be either returning or premiering? We have a feeling you're one of those people since you're reading this, and that's why we have a complete rundown of shows and their premiere/return dates (most in January, with a few saved until February and March). With The Rookie, High Potential, and Will Trent together beginning Tuesday, January 6th, ABC is looking at a pretty powerful Tuesday night block of programming. It will be interesting to track the viewership numbers from the original night that the respective episodes air to seeing just how much of a boost each gets after Live+7 delayed viewing numbers hit. The Kaitlin Olson-starring second season of High Potential has proven to be a big ratings winner over the run of its first half-dozen or so episodes (with the Fall Finale hitting screens tonight).
