The days are short, cold, and far too packed with things to do. So let me help by adding a bit more to your to-do list this week with some television to add to your schedule.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry, it doesn\u2019t all have to be appointment<\/em> (what is streaming good for, if not setting your own appointment TV viewing times?). It can be a little more leisurely and fit into your schedule \u2014 hopefully no one is spoiling Great British Baking Show<\/em>\u2019s holiday specials for you. (And if there is someone in your life like that: Don\u2019t worry, the ghosts of Christmas specials past will be knocking soon.) <\/p>\n

Also, not to add to your stress level, but there are some ongoing<\/em> shows you can keep up with this week not reflected in this list \u2014 your Dune: Prophecy<\/a><\/em>, or What We Do in the Shadows<\/a><\/em>, or Star Trek: Lower Decks<\/a><\/em> (coming up on the finale!).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the best new TV premieres to watch this week. <\/p>\n
