Probably just Better Call Saul, TWD and Twin Peaks. I thought Fargo was slated for Spring too but I guess not?

Not exactly. Variety reported the latest casting in late December and noted it was starting up in January. Calgary newspapers have also put out requests for extras over the last month.

Ah, so it might not have started yet? Interesting. Hope they get started before too long!

I can't tell if it is what you are looking for, but I use the TVShow Time app on my phone. Basically you add whatever shows you watch or are going to watch. One page has what/when stuff is coming on or back if it is further off. And the other basically has a list of shows with all the episodes you still need to watch. Like along with new stuff, I am watching Buffy and I just keep track of it on there too, so it can be old backlog type shows too. Pretty nice-looking app. It does have some social stuff, but I don't use it. The app might be worth a look to see if it is what you are looking for. Sounds like maybe you are looking for a more general guide with all shows coming on though, can't really tell.

I don't use an app, I (and many other TV-GAFers) use this website.

Thank you both! I've starting using both of these!

I had The Wall on NBC on in the background tonight because I was busy on the computer. I watched a few minutes of it here and there. How can you take a fun game like Plinko and turn it into that convoluted mess? I still don't know the rules of that game. I think they were making it up as they went.

Trailers for Hulu's shows:
The Handmaid's Tale - Feminist icon Peggy Olsen and Rory Gilmore in the same show? I'm so in.
Harlots - Samantha Morton is in it, she can do no wrong.

Holy hell, Hulu has a lot of great women acting in their shows.

Also their imports are damn good;

National Treasure - The writer of this, Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, The Last Panthers, This is England '86/'88/'90) is a damn genius.
Please Like Me - Just watch this show already, it's brilliant.
 
Via the Onion A|V Club, premiere dates for a few new Showtime shows:
Earlier today, Showtime president and CEO David Nevins appeared before the Television Critics Association winter press tour for the second executive session of the week. Part of the discussion revolved around the imminent arrival of two new series that were announced last spring: Guerrilla, the limited series starring Idris Elba and Freida Pinto; and I’m Dying Up Here, a one-hour drama from executive producer Jimi Carrey about the 1970s stand-up comedy scene in Los Angeles. Both shows will premiere this spring, with John Ridley’s six-part event series bowing on April 16 at 9 p.m. ET, while I’m Dying Up Here will kick off on Sunday, June 4 at 10 p.m. ET.

Guerrilla, “a love story set against the backdrop of one of the most politically explosive times in U.K. history,” will center on the counter-intelligence unit the British government formed to stamp out black activism. It also stars Denise Gough, Brandon Scott, and Penny Dreadful’s Rory Kinnear. Meanwhile, Melissa Leo leads the cast of I’m Dying Up Here as Goldie, a comedy club owner with a heart of gold behind a brassy facade. Ari Graynor, Michael Angarano, Clark Duke, Andrew Santino, Erik Griffin, RJ Cyler, Al Madrigal, and Jake Lacy will all play “competitive but close-knit comedians” who take the stage at Goldie’s club.

ABC's When We Rise
"When We Rise” is written and created by Academy Award winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black. This mini-series event chronicles the real-life personal and political struggles, set-backs and triumphs of a diverse family of LGBT men and women who helped pioneer one of the last legs of the U.S. Civil Rights movement from its turbulent infancy in the 20th century to the once unfathomable successes of today.

Also of note is that the directors list include Gus Van Sant, and Dee Rees.
The show looks decent enough, but the trailer is kind of bad

Sky Atlantic/Showtime's Guerrilla
Created by Academy Award®-winning writer John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, AMERICAN CRIME), Guerrilla follows politically active lovers Jas (Freida Pinto) and Marcus (Babou Ceesay) and their friends as the political becomes personal. Based in 1970s London, the group of activists go head-to-head with a racist police force who are dedicated to crushing them. Guerrilla explores the nature of a relationship under pressure and poses the question: what if the original Black Power movement in London had used violence?
Yet again, a kind of shoddy trailer for what is a promising show.
 
I'm on the second to last episode of the first season of Fargo. Assuming seasons 2 and 3 are as good as this one I'll definitely be watching those.
 
FX premieres:

Feud: Bette And Joan will premiere March 5 at 10 p.m. The Americans will start up March 7 at 10 p.m. on FX, while Archer shifts to FXX April 5 at 10 p.m.

Fargo S3 starting shooting last week and they're aiming for an April premiere date, as well.
