The 2012 summer TV programming season premiere schedule is upon us. These are the shows that networks either don’t trust to air during the ratings heavy winter season or really barely perform well enough in the TV ratings to be kept around.
Either way, there are some interesting shows and some not so interesting. I’ve chosen a select few networks to focus on here on Brusimm that you folks are interested in…. from my impromptu surveys and other measures.
Summer 2012 Series of note: Coming back, we have Rookie Blue and Wipeout. Don’t forget the all important social experiment of spreading… oh never mind… Bachelor Pad.
AMC has Breaking Bad and Hell on Wheels returning. Mice in a maze… I mean Big Brother will return to CBS in July.
So You Think You Can Dance is tonight… while True Blood is coming to a cable box near you soon!
On Syfy, of interest, is Warehouse 13 and Alphas returning. TNT has the return of Falling Skies season two and the sequel to Dallas, Dallas. (It looks like a sequel… but of the same name, but they have characters from the old show in it… as dads or grand dads. If anyone catches this, let me know what you think!)
Actually, I would not mind if anyone chimed in about any show they watch. The more the merrier here on the Brusimm channel. Plus if you chat about something interesting, it might make people aware of a show they weren’t previously aware of!
With that in mind, I have two lists… one sorted by date first, and after that, a list sorted by titles, if you want to go directly to where you know your show might be listed instead of trying to figure out all the noise…
