Season finales are all around us and we must say bye-bye to some of our favorite television characters for a few months. Until we can reunite with them in the fall, whatever will we watch this summer? There is a reality show for just about everyone as well as some new scripted series.

Apparently, the theme this summer for reality shows is weddings. ABC brings us Here Come the Newleyweds on Monday nights.  TNT has Wedding Day while CW has Hitched or Ditched, both on Tuesdays.  And of course there will still be the traditional dating reality shows.  The Bachelorette stars Jillian who narrowly missed the absurd choas of winning Jason Mesnick’s heart but successfully won the heart of America.  And on Tuesdays, Fox has a new show, More to Love, a Bachelor-style dating show featuring a man who’s looking for a woman with a little extra cushion for the push’n.

More in the reality category is The Superstars on ABC where two-person teams comprised of celebrities and professional athletes compete against one another in different challenges.  ABC also has The Great American Roadtrip where seven families travel through the US and compete while visiting historic landmarks.  And of course my favorite reality show, So You Think You Can Dance, returns with its usual artistic, musical fabulousness!!!!!

Believe it or not there actually are some scripted shows as well…

ABC is nice enough to air the final episodes of a couple series they abruptly yanked off the air this past fall. Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone will finish up Saturday nights this summer.

Nurse Jackie, on Showtime, stars Edie Falco as a pill-popping New York ER nurse.
ABC Family has created 10 Things I Hate About You, a show based on the 1999 movie.
Mental, on Fox, appears to be a medical procedural surrounding a psychiatrist.
TNT has Jada Pinkett Smith’s turn to TV, Hawthorne…something about doctors in a hospital, blah, blah, blah.
The Goode Family, this animated series on ABC is about an uber-green family.
The Philanthropist on NBC stars Neve Campbell.
Dark Blue has Dylan McDermott as an undercover police officer on TNT.
NBC has The Listener, a show about a paramedic with hidden telepathic powers.
Mark Feuerstein is trying TV AGAIN with Royal Pains
on USA.

Happy watching!!!
