so the sunshine might be one major indication that summer is definitely upon us, but you never know how long that lasts when you live in chicago, so a more accurate indicator might just be all the season (and series! goodbye LOST and 24...) finales going on around us. our favorite shows are in hiatus: summer has arrived.
sure, we've got our bachelorette back now...
...and like wipe-out or something like that, and whatever easy reality programming the networks have thrown together, but i'm much more excited about the fact that over the past couple of years they're actually trying for scripted shows in the summer months. i love this trend.
is anyone else intrigued by abc's new vampire show the gates?
yes, it might be terrible, and we might be on vampire overload right now, but i like that they're at least trying.
this summer also brings us the return of these favorites:
season 3 was mad men's best yet. i cannot wait for mid-july and season 4.
this is such a guilty pleasure show. i love every minute.
and the always amazing FNL is 4 episodes into its 4th (and so far i think maybe it's best) season on nbc.
we can no longer complain that there's nothing to watch on tv in the summer. well, ok, it's not as good as the rest of the year, but it's getting better, and we have to make room for some outdoor time during these fleeting summer months!
got any other summer tv favorites?
