A banner night of cable television.

Audiences will meet thirty-one-year old Lori, who has been addicted to sleeping with her blow dryer on since she was eight years old. She finds the heat and sound comforting. [source]

It pains me that Blais Off, Top Chef-testant Richard Blais' nifty new show, airs on a Discovery network.

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME AMERICAN ADAPTATIONS OF HIT BRITISH TELEVISION SERIES?

Shameless (USA) premieres January 9 on Showtime.

Skins (USA) premieres January 17 on MTV, the same night that Being Human (USA) premieres on Syfy.

Also in January: MTV's The Inbetweeners (USA) and Starz's Torchwood (USA) begin production.

Only a matter of time before Misfits (USA) is greenlit.

Idea: An adaptation of The Trip starring Louis C.K. and Nick DiPaolo.
