Breaking Bad is going to be legendary.

I'm watching Burn Notice just to sit at a sort of terminally ill acquaintance's bedside.
I'm watching True Blood because it has turned into the biggest what-the-fuck-am-I-watching show of the Summer.
Venture Bros. and Futurama need no introductions.
Arrested Development should be very interesting.
Oh and, I'm so excited about the final season of Dexter that I forgot to add it.

Arrested Development
Behind the Candelabra (movie)
Breaking Bad
The Bridge
Dexter
Family Tree (maybe... I like the talent but the premise bores me to tears)

The Killing (I'll give it a shot)
Low Winter Sun
The Newsroom (because I hate myself, but will find some fun hating this)
Ray Donovan (I'll give it a shot)
True Blood
Under the Dome
The Venture Bros

Here's the new trailer NBC will run for Save Me. It was my favorite comedy pilot this past season. A lot of Community people worked on it after the showrunner change. Check it out:

With the marvels of modern technology, those things no longer have to be mutually exclusive!

This is true. I generally like the break though. Despite watching lots of stuff on HBO/FX/AMC, I tend to like to watch my TV on a September-May network TV timeframe. No TV June-August.

Solo's Declaration of the Separation of Television and Summer.

The separation of television and summer is the distance in the relationship between televised programs and the national season of summer.

Although the concept of separation has been adopted by a number of posters, there are varying degrees of separation depending on the prevalent views toward the proper role of television in summer.

 

[Ceebs]

Can't wait to see what sort of batshit crazy nonsense they put on screen during True Blood this year. Best guilty pleasure on television.

and Arrested Development of course.


All the new stuff looks pretty dreadful.

 

[TripOpt55]

I definitely look forward to having less to watch in the summer. It's honestly gotten to be a hassle to try and keep up with everything now. I will be watching:

Breaking Bad
The Killing
Arrested Development

Will see what is good of the new stuff as well. I kind of like to dig into some old shows I missed via Netflix each summer without all the network stuff I watch in the way. I'm going to give these a try I think:

Alias
Mad Men
Sherlock

 

[anaron]

Oh. Oh oh oh. I am so watching this.

[bjaelke]

There's going to be new "episodes" of Wliia? I thought they dropped it altogether after the Green Screen Show and Improv-a-ganza. Any words on the cast?

Arrested Development definitely.

 

[Hours Left]

Returning

[Discotheque]

candelabra movie will be hilarious. excited to watch it for the cast, soderbergh and the subject matter

 

[Cornballer]

Graceland pilot is apparently up in case anyone wants to check it out:

GRACELAND – SNEAK PEEK OF THE PILOT EXCLUSIVELY VIA VIDEO-ON-DEMAND

USA is offering sneak preview of GRACELAND, the network’s provocative new original series, available now through May 12 via video-on-demand. The pilot will be available on most carriers, including, Comcast Xfinity TV, Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications, Cox Communications, Cablevision, DirecTV, Dish, and Verizon FiOS. GRACELAND, based on true events, premieres on Thursday, June 6 at 10/9c and focuses on the lives of undercover agents from the FBI, DEA and US Customs who reside and operate under one roof.

 

[firehawk12]

If it did, they'd have to start filming pretty damn quickly to get it out this summer!

Although, I assume that Amy Sherman Palladino is some kind of super-genius who literally thinks the way her characters talk, all of the time, so maybe they can just record her talking to herself and then have the actors repeat it on camera.

(This method would still produce better dialogue and character writing than most of anything on television, b-t-dubs.)

Maybe it'll be a late summer/fall show!

(Probably not )

 

[Steelyuhas]

Is the tagline for the new season of True Blood really "War is Coming"?

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Is the tagline for the new season of True Blood really "War is Coming"?

I'm not sure. The teaser they released a few days ago was titled "Blood Will Spill", so I think that may be it.

 

[vicissitudes]

Will watch the Bachelorette. Will make a thread about it. 3 people will post.

 

[netguy503]

I don't see episodes listed and that's usually a showtime summer series. Also doesn't Homeland begin on Showtime in August? I don't know if this is a complete list for the summer.

Homeland is starting up Sept 29th.

 

[netguy503]

What about episodes?

 

[Bladenic]

Family Tree

Moone Boy

Save Me

Orange is the New Black - I didn't know this was dated, excited.

The Newsroom

Graceland

Also interested in Ray Donovan, The Bridge, and Low Winter Sun.

 

[Cornballer]

What about episodes?

In September 2012 it was announced that a third season of nine episodes had been commissioned. It will debut in early 2014.

.

 

[Bladenic]

Ray Donovan is pretty mediocre, to be honest. Until it gets weird, then it's a bit better. But, meh. Masters of Sex is a lot better.

Good to know.

 

[netguy503]

.

That sucks. I always liked it being a summer show. Why the big gap from the first two seasons? Thanks anyway. :/

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Ray Donovan is pretty mediocre, to be honest. Until it gets weird, then it's a bit better. But, meh. Masters of Sex is a lot better.

Are we talking pilots or scripts?

 

[RepairmanJack]

Ray Donovan is pretty mediocre, to be honest. Until it gets weird, then it's a bit better. But, meh. Masters of Sex is a lot better.

This shocks me. The trailer for it looked absolutely horrible.

 

[orion434]

Really looking forward to Falling Skies, the season two finale left me wondering what they can do with the series. Can't wait!

 

[Cornballer]

Graceland pilot is apparently up On Demand in case anyone wants to check it out:

Has anyone been able to find this on their cable carrier's On Demand listings? I looked on DirecTV's system last night and didn't see it.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Returning/premiering today:

Merlin on Syfy at 10/9c

Maron on IFC at 10/9c

Reviews:

Sepinwall - Marc Maron heads to IFC with 'Maron'

The three episodes I've seen function as shaggy dog stories: not wildly funny, nor as dark and emotional as "Louie" so often gets, but amusing in spots and with a very clear voice. Can it become more than that? In comparison, the first three "Louie"s for the most part don't represent the heights that show later climbed, but they did feature the amazing, unexpected poker scene about the origins of a ubiquitous gay slur. Marc Maron may not be interested in doing something like that, but the similarities to his new show and his friend's old show (even if "Louie" is on hiatus until 2014) are unavoidable.

Poniewozik - TV Tonight: Maron

Part traditional sitcom, part self-psychoanalysis, Maron still needs to show if it can sustain itself over a season or seasons (the third episode opens with essentially the same confessional gag that opens the pilot). But it offers enough so far to make me want to watch its protagonist keep trying to clean house. Inside and out.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Here's a trailer for the new BBC Two drama series starring Gillian Anderson, premiering May 13 - Link

Netflix gets all 5 episodes in the US on May 28.

 

[Cornballer]

- BBC put up a teaser for The White Queen this morning, too

It airs this Summer on BBC One and Starz

Lookin good! I added both new shows to the OP.

 

[Cornballer]

Since it's trailer day...

- Ray Donovan Season 1: Official Trailer

 

[Akahige]

Awww, OP left out the best part of the new Fox ADHD show High School USA!

It's written and created by Dino Stamatopoulos of Community, Morel Orel and Frankenhole fame.

Is it stop-motion animated or traditional?

 

[ivysaur12]

Are we talking pilots or scripts?

As far as the series goes.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Dexter and Futurama.
I live the simple life.

 

[Strax]

Axe Cop and Under the Dome look nice

 

[Dan]

I'll try The Fall because of Gillian Anderson, though it sounds like something we've had a whole lot of in recent years (detective gets in the mind of a killer). Of course when it comes out I'll still be busy rewatching the hell out of Arrested Development.

 

[Ricker]

Call me crazy but I actually like Rookie Blue...I will also be watching True Blood and Dexter.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

As far as the series goes.

What? So you've seen the entire first seasons of each?

 

[Tragicomedy]

Oh, and I gotta take this opportunity to catch up with S4 of The Good Wife and the first season of Nashville.

I really want to dig Nashville because Connie Britton, but getting through the pilot alone was brutal since I hate modern country music with a burning, fiery passion that nearly exceeds my white hot love for Connie Britton.

I like folk but dislike most country, and still feel the show has been great through the first six episodes. I have a bunch of catching up to do as well.

 

[ivysaur12]

What? So you've seen the entire first seasons of each?

First half of both.
