It’s that time of year, when TV show seasons come to an end. Usually, I’m a little bummed out about this, but this year I’m kind of excited about it! I read so much now, that it’s daunting trying to keep up with my TV schedule and my pile of TBR/review books! Plus, I love how in recent years networks have started having summer TV series. I’m looking forward to my returning favorites, and some new shows that are on my radar. Here’s what I plan to be watching this summer:
So You Think You Can Dance on FOX, Thu 8/7c
What’s summer without SYTYCD? I freaking love this show! They’re changing it up this season by only having one 2 hour show a week. I’m not sure what I think about them getting rid of the results show, but I’m glad to hear that they’re going to pair up the top 10 with all-stars again. The dancing fun starts May 24th!
Rookie Blue on ABC, Thu 10/9c
I’ve been watching Rookie Blue since the very first episode. Though I liked the show from the start, it wasn’t until season 2 (last season) that I fell in love with this show. I love the characters, and I’m hooked. I’m really excited for season 3, it premieres May 24th.
Breaking Pointe on the CW, Thu 8/7c
The Breaking Pointe is a new documentary show premiering May 31st. It gives an insiders view of what it’s like to be a dancer in one of the most competitive ballet dance companies – Ballet West in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Bunheads on ABC Family, Mon 9/8c
I’m sooo excited for this show! It premieres June 11th, and I can’t wait! If you can’t tell already by this list of shows, I’m a sucker for all things dance related… so it was already a given that I’d give this show a try. Then I read that it’s executive producer is Amy Sherman-Palladino, the creator of Gilmore Girls. Yup.
Baby Daddy on ABC Family, Wed 8:30/7:30c
Baby Daddy is a new half-hour comedy premiering June 20th on ABC Family. It’s about a guy that suddenly finds out he’s a dad when his ex-girlfriend leaves his baby on his doorstep. I’m a little uncertain about this one, but it sounds cute so I’ll give it a go.
Lost Girl on SyFy, Mon 10/9c
I also have plans to watch season 1 and 2 of Lost Girl on the SyFy channel. I’ve heard so much about this show that I have to check it out. I’ve only watched the first episode but I think I’ll really like it, it reminds me a little of the Fever series (adult, not YA) by Karen Marie Moning. I was able to TiVo a season 1 marathon, and have been recording season 2… I’ve just been waiting for summer to start the series!
So that’s what I’ll be watching! Other summer shows I have on my radar that I might give a try are Duets (ABC) and Teen Wolf (if I get around to watching season 1, on MTV)… Am I missing anything good? What will you be watching this summer?

I really liked the first season of Covert Affairs, but it conflicted with other shows and I missed the second season :(.

I am so excited for SYTYCD! It’s my favorite show of the summer! I like the idea of the two hour a week show, because I would never watch the results anyway- I’d turn it on at the end to see who had to leave. Yea for dancing!

I am such a sucker for dance, I can’t wait for Step Up: Revolution to come out this summer :). For whatever reason I couldn’t get into Pretty Little Liars, maybe I should try again, I feel left out!

I love SYTYCD ! I started watching it when I was still a dancer ! I’m glad they are bringing back the all stars.

I love SYTYCD – my DVR is already set to record!:)
Have you watched Franklin and Bash? It was one of my favorite summer shows last year, and it’s coming back for a second season. It’s probably the funniest lawyer show I’ve seen, lots of humor and interesting cases.

No… I’ll have to check Netflix to see if they have season 1! Do you think I need to watch last season first?

Haha, I know, right? I’m not a huge fan of fae, but this show seems cool. I have a feeling I’m going to blow through them and not stretch them out for the summer…
