    Without a doubt I’m looking forward to Breaking Bad the most.

  • Doris

    My five must see summer shows are Food Network Star, White Collar, Drop Dead Diva, Leverage, & The Glades. I will take a look at Suits, and I enjoy Franklin & Bash, but those five are must-see.

    • Swtndl81

      Wow. We have the same list. I love F&B!!!

  • Allison

    Burn Notice!, Covert Affairs, White Collar- and no, I do not work for USA…haha

    1. Breaking Bad (splendid show!)
    2. Dexter (America’s favorite serial killer)
    3. Weeds (It’s a travesty to dislike the Botwins!)
    4. Curb Your Enthusiasm (No one funnier and awkward like Larry)
    5. Leverage (Age of the geek babe!)

    • Gus

      Umm… Dexter ain’t a summer show.

    Only 5 shows…HA!It is getting to the point where summer TV is better than fall TV.

    Returning Shows
    White Collar
    Covert Affairs
    Drop Dead Diva
    Eureka
    Warehouse 13
    Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman
    The Glades
    Leverage

    The new show I’m the most excited about is Falling Skies. Add in Alphas, Necessary Roughness and maybe Suits (I’m sitting on the fence about that one), my DVR is burning up.

  • andy

    so excited for Big Brother!

  • Stormy

    White Collar, Covert Affairs, Rizzoli & Isles, The Glades and Franklin and Bash.

  • MelindaB

    In Plain Sight, Burn Notice, Royal Pains, Leverage, Haven, Warehouse 13, Covert Affairs, Rizzoli and Isles…and that’s just the returning shows. Add Franklin & Bash, The Protector, Falling Skies, Switched at Birth, The 9 Lives of Chloe King, and maybe Suits, Teen Wolf and Alphas. Plus Friday Night Lights, and the return of Doctor Who later this summer–I’ve got almost as much new TV as I do during the regular season, and I haven’t even caught up on that yet.

  • Stacy

    Breaking Bad! Easily the best show on TV, I can’t freaking wait for it to come back.
