Default Summer TV Season Thread
There's a thread about the fall TV season, why not the summer?

Breaking Bad is starting up July 15th, running Sunday's for 8 weeks (with the final 7 episodes airing summer 2013 )

The 3rd season of Louis is scheduled to start June 28, running on Thursdays.

Are there any other TV shows I'm missing? I'm sure there has to be more shows running a summer schedule.

Big Brother stars on July 12. I really hate watching that show, but what else is there? I am not going to start reading a book or anything, that would be sacrilege!

They just announced that this (the 8th) will be the final season of weeds. Great show for those who have never watched it.

About all I care about is Breaking Bad and Big Brother. Love me some Big Brother.

Not so much. The first three seasons were amazing. But after that, it's been meh. I hate how Nancy just screws her way out of all her problems later on.


Spoiler!



I am stoked for Hell on Wheels though.

Watched the season premier of Suits last night and it didn't disappoint.

This show is so well cast. Patrick J Adams is great (and Canadian), Gabriel Macht, Gina Torres and the always awesome Rick Hoffman. It's probably my favorite of the 2nd tier of cable series...right up there with Burn Notice.

Anyone hold the opinion that Hell on Wheels got noticeably better after the first 3 or 4 episodes?

I quit watching after that as it really didn't grab me, but would give it a second go with season 2 coming up if there was hope that it improved.

If you haven't watched Longmire yet on A&E, I would recommend it. Two episodes so far and while the pace is slow, it is interesting and the characters are great. Sunday nights on A&E.

I watched the first two episodes and will keep watching, but I am hoping it picks up. I have not read any of the Longmire books so I don't really know what to expect. They have set up some intersting conflicts with some of their plot points though.

Yeah, since they left Agrestic the show has steadily gone downhill. On the other hand, that's when Mary Louise Parker started doing nudity, so that was a trade-off.

Since I became a mega western lover a few years ago (Thanks to Deadwood) I enjoyed it quite a bit from episode 1. A buddy of mine is in it and he got all shot up. I look forward to seeing it! he he he
