Kristin entitled this entry "Summer Schedule: Stay Inside, Watch TV, Avoid the Sun's Damaging Rays!" It's like she knows me. I got sunburned (again) walking 10 minutes to someone's house today.

Anyway, my picks are:

Last Comic Standing
My Boys
Weeds
Burn Notice (YES! And Trisha Helfer is joining the cast!)
Saving Grace
Eureka
Nip/Tuck (a filthy habit, but what can you do?)
Damages

None of that sounds appealing. For summer I am increasing Netflix to two at a time and making my way through the BBC archives.

The only ones I'm really excited about are Weeds and My Boys. I absolutely love My Boys, but I honestly don't think anyone knows about it.

There is a new show on Fox, created by the same folks that made Lost, which looks interesting.

Fringe, I think? The star is the guy who plays Abaddon.

Edit: HEre is a Youtube trailer

I'm excited for Weeds. June 16, right?? The season finale was crazy and I'm excited to see where the show goes now.

I like Eureka, so I'll be watching that. Got to finish up the BSG half-season, so there's that; I'm also a bit drawn to SGA.

And we can't, of course, forget the "reality" television that is American Gladiators (try though we might...). [Wink]

I'm looking forward to The Next Food Network Star, Army Wives (yay! ended in a huuuge cliffhanger), Monk, and Psych.

Yes, I have low-brow tastes. Get over it. [Razz]

Monk! Thank you! I always miss it because the season is so odd. When does it start?

They filmed some of this at my (ex-)University (of Toronto). I'm pretty sure the line, "What happened on that plane might be more dangerous than just simple terrorism" is inside the beautiful Knox College foyer.

The end of the line, "...only the whole world is a lab," is definitely out the back of Knox College, in the walkway across the quad (it's a beautiful place, film crews often seem to be there in the summer, only it was barely spring when this crew was there). I photographed the walkway most recently in this photograph. I saw this scene being shot, haha, so I think it's great it's in the trailer. I knew immediately what kind of scene it would be, although I couldn't hear the dialogue- the fast walking, intense dialogue scene. Oh dear, television is so predictable.

As for the show itself, I have major misgivings. I'm not a fan of J.J. Abrams, and the concept seems like it could easily dry up and die.
