Back in the days of yore all we got on TV during the summer was rerun after rerun. Although we do still find reruns for many network shows, many channels show original programming during the summer. I'm most looking forward to season three of
True Blood,
Top Chef in Washington D.C., the fourth season of
Mad Men, and the so-crazy-it's-hilarious
Man v. Food. I've already gotten back into
Friday Night Lights, where Coach Taylor is now at East Dillon High coaching the Lions,
and
So You Think You Can Dance, which is changing its format this year by having a Top 10 instead of a Top 20, and pairing the newcomers with all-stars from previous seasons. Since I tried to be as inclusive as possible with the shows airing original programming, my TV schedule chart is quite long, which means you'll have to click below to see the list. If there isn't a date listed next to the show title then it is already airing new episodes. And, of course, dates may change.
