What's on tap: the spring 2012 collection.(ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING)(Table)(Calendar)

The following is a list of upcoming original cable programming from Feb. 27 through May 31, 2012. "Original programming" means brand-new premieres, no acquired shows or fare available via broadcast TV, home video or in movie theaters. Specials spun off of existing series are included, but new episodes of established series do not qualify. The list includes mostly basic-cable networks with large distribution, though some premium networks have been included. It was compiled by Leslie Jaye Goff.
