PREFACE

The Year in Television, 2008 is the only source that chron-


icles all the first run entertainment programs broadcast from
January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. Included are series,
specials, TV movies, pilots, miniseries and internet series. All
the broadcast networks are represented (including syndication)
as are cable networks (including specialized outlets like the gay
and lesbian channels Here! and Logo).
Each of the alphabetically arranged entries contains a story-
line, performer/character casts, credits, month/day/year broad-
cast dates, and genre. A full index concludes the book. Where
possible, reviews are included with programs that premiered in
2008.
From the obscure to the well known to the one episode
wonders, everything, entertainment wise, is presented in a con-
cise, easy to use guide that presents a look at what happened in
2008 — for convenience now or in the future.
