I'm a sucker for So You Think You Can Dance, and this season has been very good so far, but arguably the best guy they've ever had on the show just ruptured his achilles tendon so that puts a damper on the rest of the season. Otherwise, there's very little that I make a point of watching... usually Daily Show and Colbert Report, but only if my 3 month old isn't sleeping.

True Blood / Hung / Entourage

That sums up my Sunday nights right there.

Dexter / Californication should be starting up in late Aug or early Sept as well, I can't wait.

I'm catching up on Hung. Hilarious.

I'm catching up on Mad Men. I've basically watched the latest few episodes, but now I'm DVR'ed a lot of the first season and am halfway through watching the pilot.

Sue me but I do DVR and bounce through So You Think You Can Dance. A culturally influential show and interesting to see specialists in one discipline being forced into performing in many others. But, like an awards show, watchable only with DVR and the fast forward button.

I always loved The World At War, put together probably in the 1960's, which is now running on The Military Channel. The interviews with key people, their memories still fresh from the events of World War II and frozen forever on film, is something you probably won't find anywhere else.

It is actually a pretty good show if you skip a lot of the crap. The judges can be a bit much, especially the squinty one in the middle.

ABC cancelled it after the third episode I think. It had a few more to air and they were going to burn them off over the summer, but I think even that plan tanked and they stopped showing them after the fifth episode.

Too bad... it was a strange show with some potential.

Did anyone check out the sneak preview episode of AMC's 'Rubicon'? Looks promising. Begins airing in August.

No Reservations (Anthony Bourdain), the Food Network and America's Got Talent.

America's Got Talent isn't very good, but it's one of those rare shows that both my wife and I can tolerate.

I know they canceled it and were planning on showing it as a summer miniseries like Harper's Island last summer.

I think they aired 8 episodes but I don't know how many they made.

Like a lot of people, I use the summer to catch up.

I finally watched The Sopranos in succession (best television show ever, bar none). I want to download Lost (only seen the first two seasons), Mad Men, Dexter, Breaking Bad....also haven't watched any 24 since Day 5. Southland was picked up by TNT, which I don't get. Piss on it. Rookie Blue is too PG13 for a cop drama. Trying to give The Good Guys a chance, I hope the characters can get some legs...although Bradley Whitford already seems to have his.

I might tune into The Glades tomorrow, see what that is all about. I also like Hell's Kitchen and am looking forward to MasterChef.

Le Tour.... While some will argue that the Tour De France can be a somewhat boring event, and sometimes I agree, the production values on the broadcasts are fantastic in my opinion. Gorgeous views of the countryside, top notch commentating with cool accents, aerial flybys, etc. I enjoy the spectacle of the Tour as presented on TV as much as the bike racing itself.

I haven't watched TV for years, but since I found Veetle.com, I'm seeing more stuff that I wouldn't have.

That's all I got.

I just devoured all 3 seasons of Breaking Bad in a month or so. Glad I finally decided to watch it. I usually watch mostly HBO, AMC or Showtime shows but I'm lukewarm on Entourage so it's sports or movies nothing over the summer.
