    January is time for starting over, and television networks are reworking their schedules to welcome back old friends and shuffle in the new shows.

    VH1 continues to mine the boundless ore of "celebreality." Its latest additions to the lineup include yet another edition of Celebrity Fit Club (+1,863%) and a new show starring reality vet Flavor Flav (+4,591%). There's nothing like a former rap star trainwreck. If you were enraptured by StrangeLove, you're sure to enjoy his new Flavor of Love.

    Fox is ready to rumble with all comers thanks to its one-two punch of 24 (+1,694%) and American Idol (+47%). These two stalwarts of the Fox sked are already gaining momentum in Buzz, and once they hit the air, we're sure they'll reclaim their rightful spots in our top 20 TV shows.

    Early Buzz returns are also in on A&E's latest reality romp. It might not be as successful as Dog the Bounty Hunter (+493%), but Rollergirls slammed home a 189% gain in yesterday's searches. And we're behind any show that serves to boost flagging interest in the long-forgotten sport of roller derby (+154%). Roll on, sweet roller girls.
