  <body>&lt;div&gt;FX has set a busy schedule of spring premieres including the final season of &amp;quot;Nip/Tuck,&amp;quot; a new season of &amp;quot;Damages&amp;quot; and the series premieres of &amp;quot;Justified,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Louie&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Archer.&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The busy new year will kick off on Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2010 with &amp;quot;Nip/Tuck.&amp;quot; The series finale, also the show's 100th episode, will air on Wednesday, March 3, 2010. Guest Stars for the seventh and final season of &amp;quot;Nip/Tuck&amp;quot; include Melanie Griffith, Joan Rivers, Mario Lopez, Frances Conroy, Donna Mills and Joan Van Ark.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The spring's other big return is the third season of &amp;quot;Damages,&amp;quot; which begins its 13 episode season on Monday, Jan. 25. As usual, &amp;quot;Damages&amp;quot; has largely overhauled its supporting cast, with Campbell Scott, Martin Short, Lily Tomlin, Keith Carradine and Len Carion among those set to appear.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The first new show out of the gate is the animated comedy &amp;quot;Archer,&amp;quot; launching at 10 p.m. ET on Thursday, Jan. 14. &amp;quot;Archer,&amp;quot; a take-off on the spy genre, features vocal work from H. Jon Benjamin, Jessica Walter, Aisha Tyler and more. The series has a 10 episode order.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Things are a bit less specific for the launches of &amp;quot;Justified&amp;quot; (formerly &amp;quot;Lawman&amp;quot;), the Elmore Leonard-inspired drama starring Timothy Olymphant. FX will only say that &amp;quot;Justified&amp;quot; will premiere in March.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Also vague is the launch for &amp;quot;Louie,&amp;quot; starring beloved stand-up star Louis C.K. FX will only say that that one is set for sometime in the spring.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;FX has ordered 13 episodes of both &amp;quot;Justified&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Louie.&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;</body>
