It used to be that summer was a desert for new programming.

None of the networks (big five or otherwise) wanted to waste their shows on a season when people historically didn’t watch television.

That’s not the case anymore.

Not only is summer a peak television season now – some of summer’s most reliable shows are also marking real viewership highs.

For me, summer has become about guilty pleasures like True Blood, Switched at Birth, Dallas, Witches of East End and Wilfred. There are other shows, though, like Suits, Falling Skies and Under the Dome that offer true quality.

While this may be True Blood’s last season, a couple of the networks are also offering new fare – which I’m curious to check out, including The Last Ship, The Leftovers, and The Strain (which is based on a series of books I enjoy).
