What You Should Be Watching: Summer TV Premier Schedule
In years past, after the big Spring finales, the Fall shows took a long Summer off, and we were stuck watching reruns all summer. Of course, this wasn't always a bad thing, as it helped those who missed shows throughout the year to catchup with what they may have missed.
Well, with new technology where shows are available on demand and on various online platforms such as Netflix and Hulu, that need is no longer present to the masses. So networks have taken advantage of the hours of TV programming and aired new series that are only offered during the Summer.
Many of these shows are better than the shows offered in the fall, and for a TV reviewer like myself, there really is no off season.
So let's run down the premiers of all the new series that will be debuting soon.
i will provide a brief synopsis of all new shows.
