Plenty of series have already come and gone since the beginning of the fall TV season, but as some are still hanging by a thread on their respective networks (looking at you Running Wilde), others are just getting ready for their big mid-season debut. Today NBC announced the premiere dates for their three new mid-season series as well as a slew of other changes in their programming line-up. After the jump you'll find the premiere dates for The Cape, Harry's Law and Perfect Couples as well as new schedule information with time slot changes for current running programs upon their return in the mid-season.

The action drama The Cape (watch the trailer here) will premiere on Sunday, January 9th with a two hour episode beginning at 9/8c. The first episode will air again on Monday, January 10th at 9/8c and will begin airing new episodes in the same timeslot on January 17th. The hour long drama stars David Lyons (ER) as Vince Faraday, an honest cop on a corrupt police force, who finds himself framed for a series of murders and presumed dead. He is forced into hiding, leaving behind his wife, Dana (Jennifer Ferrin of Life on Mars) and son, Trip (Ryan Wynott of Flash Forward). Fueled by a desire to reunite with his family and to battle the criminal forces that have overtaken Palm City, Faraday becomes “The Cape” his son’s favorite comic book superhero — and takes the law into his own hands.

January 17th will also mark the series premiere of Harry's Law at 10/9c. The drama series (see the trailer here) stars Kathy Bates (Misery), Ben Chaplin (Me and Orson Wells) and Aml Ameen (Kidulthood) as the most unlikely group of people starting a law practice in the most unlikely of places: a rundown shoe store. Harriet is a curmudgeonly ex-patent lawyer who, having just been fired from her cushy job, is completely disillusioned with her success and looking for a fresh start.  Her world unexpectedly collides with Malcolm’s — a young man trying to figure out life. When he finds out Harriet is a lawyer, he begs her to represent him in an upcoming criminal case.  Matthew, a dreamer at heart and also recently fired from his job as a high school teacher, is introduced to Harriet through Malcolm, a previous student of his. When these three cross paths, they realize they’re all looking for a fresh start.

Finally, Perfect Couples will premiere on January 20th as part of NBC's new three-hour block of comedy on Thursday nights. The half-hour comedy (see the trailer here) depicts the misadventures of three engaging couples as they struggle to find out what makes the ideal relationship and how to maintain it through humorous trial-and-error. The series explores their heroic journey in search of the perfect relationship without destroying each other in the process. Kyle Howard, (My Boys), Christine Woods, (Flash Forward), David Walton (Heist), Mary Elizabeth Ellis (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), Hayes MacArthur (She’s Out of My League) and Olivia Munn (Attack of the Show) star as the series' couples.
