Now that most of the regular season has ended with the
exception of a less-than-handfull of episodes of Revolution, Hannibal, Game of
Thrones, Mad Men & Veep, it’s time to look ahead to summer television
programming. Here are the shows I’m looking forward to this summer:
Family Tree: New Series (May.12)
Started a few weeks ago, it’s a mostly improvised mockumentary from Christopher Guest (Spinal Tap) and stars the loveable cop from Bridesmaids. Its okay, I hope it gets better.
The Goodwin Games: New Series (May.20)
From the makers of How I Met Your Mother, this one is just two episodes in. Scott Foley (Felicity) is a little annoying but TJ Miller (Cloverfield) is pretty awesome. I hope this gets better too.
Arrested Development: Season 4 (May.26)
Half-way through. It’s a little muddled but there are definitely some very funny stuff. I am looking forward to the Buster episode.
The Killing: Season 3 (Jun.2)
Almost cancelled but managed to return. They swear they will solve the case by the end of this season. Looking forward to Peter Sarsgaard (Garden State) as a serial killer.
Wilfred: Season 3 (Jun.20)
My summer guilty pleasure. I think the dog is funny. Sue me.
Under the Dome: Mini-Series (Jun.24)
Started a few weeks ago, it’s a mostly improvised mockumentary from Christopher Guest (Spinal Tap) and stars the loveable cop from Bridesmaids. Its okay, I hope it gets better.

Don’t know what to expect.
Dexter: Season 8 – Final Season (Jun.30)
How will this end? Will Dexter finally be caught or get to be happy?
Ray Donovan: New Series (Jun.30)
It stars Live Shreiber (Scream) as a Hollywood fixer. Could be good.
The Bridge: New Series (Jul.10)
A judge is found dead on the border of USA and Mexico on this FX series based on a popular Scandinavian hit.
The Newsroom: Season 2 (Jul.14)
The awesome Aaron Sorkin series is back for more. I’m excited.
Whose Line Is It Anyway: Reboot (Jul.16)
Ryan, Colin and Wayne are back. Drew Carey is not. I’m so in.
The Writer’s Room: New Series (July)
A cool documentary series that goes into the writer’s room of popular comedy and drama television shows. I love that kind of stuff.
Breaking Bad: Finishing Final Season 5 (Aug.11)
How will it end for Walter? Death by cancer, drug cartel or cops.
Low Winter Sun: New Series (Aug.11)
It’s about cops. But it’s also on AMC so I’ll give it a chance.
The Pitch: Season 2 (Aug.15)
Love this reality show where two competing advertising agencies pitch ideas to big companies. It’s the read Mad Men.

On top of this I want to try Once Upon a Time and have my wife watch all of Friday Night Lights. It’ll be a busy summer along with all the
movies and vacations and such. Luckily most of these series are on Sunday
nights so the rest of the week is free.
