Looking ahead to July


Ahhh, summer...when some of my favorite series actually start! July is a busy month for cable TV shows. I have some returning favorites that I am looking forward to(or have already started watching!)


  • Burn Notice, USA I love this show! A former spy fired shut out of his agency by unknown forces? Forced to go back home to Miami and deal with his crazy mother and brother, work with his gun-happy ex-girlfriend, and hang out with Bruce-freaking-Campbell? What's not to love? I love his little MacGuyver spy objects-making listening devices out of cell phones, etc.

  • The Closer, TNT. Brenda Leigh rules! A southern lady as a deputy chief of priority homicide in LA. I love her relationships with her ex-lover boss, her FBI fiance Fritz, and her awesome squad. Especially Lieutenants Flynn and Provenza. Those jokers crack me up!

  • Stargate Atlantis, Sci-FI. Although nowhere near as good as the good old Colonel O'Neill days of SG-1, it's nice to still have the Stargate universe around. Lots of summer action and fun.

  • Army Wives, Lifetime. This addictive soapy show is all about the military spouses. What kind of life do you lead when the person you are married to is gone for months or years at a time? How do you survive? Who do you lean on? This show started its second season last Sunday, and I glad to see it back. If you haven't given this show a shot yet, all previous episodes are available for free without commercial interruptions on Lifetime's website. Click on the link on the right of this page to get there.
  • Mad Men, AMC. This awesome look at advertising executives in the sixties is full of gorgeous men and women, awesome acting, and terrific story lines. What happened to Peggy's baby? Will Don Draper's wife find out he's not who he says he is? Will I get lung cancer just from watching all of the constant smoking?

Are there any shows I missed that are going to be awesome in July? Let's talk about them here!
