[Autotelik]

I can't wait to check out Heartland. We have Treat Williams playing a surgeon again with marital problems.

[TruGator]

Can't wait for one of my favorite shows: Rescue Me.

[dcprules]

Looking forward to the return of Monk and Psych. Only two more months...

[wetsprockets]

Any idea if season 2 of Life on Mars will be on BBC America this summer?

Glad Big Love is back. So season 4 of Entourage is going to debut a couple of weeks after season 3 ends? Cool.

I thought My Boys was dead after they dumped the last 5 episodes in 3 days between Christmas & New Year's. Guess not.

[nateman]

Never to much for me in the summer, Alot of DVD watching goes on in the hot summer days (well i watch DVD's alot in the winter to but 10 times more in the summer).

Here's what I'll be watching:

Monday, June 04, 2007
Hell's Kitchen (FOX) - 9:00 PM [3rd Season Premiere]

-Love watching this show in the summer, It's been a tradition for the past 2 years.

Tuesday, August 21, 2007
Biggest Loser, The (NBC) – NBC [4th Season Premiere]

-Makes me feel better.

[Superman07]

Awsome. Doctor Who series 3 data announced!

[Red Dog]

Interesting that HBO is using Monday for Big Love and F/X using Wednesday for one of their established hits.

[Jimmy James]

I'm eagerly awaiting word on when It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia will return.

[DJariya]

Damages sounds interesting. Glenn Close leading her own series sounds good.

[Maquis]

Anyone know if there are any of the summer shows (on the big networks) that are shown in HD?

I see a few shows that I may DVR, but just curious if I should put my HD sub on hold for the next few months...

[Jadzia]

Posted a lengthy update to the first post with info/dates from the TV Guide Summer TV preview issue.

They're saying September.

[Peep]

Thanks for the list, but it looks like I'll be watching mainly movies until September.

[Jimmy James]

Boo.

[DJariya]

Hell's Kitchen, HEX and The 4400 are the main summer shows I'm watching. I'll try a few others here and there before I go on summer vacation in August.

[B.A.]

I thought 'The Loop' was coming back tonight? My local programming guide shows a re-run of 'House'.





eta: Ah, it returns Sunday at 8:30 Eastern.

http://fox.com/theloop/

[Scott27]

Yeah, the rescheduling of On the Lot screwed with The Loop's schedule. Now it'll be airing at 8:30 and 9:30 each of the next two Sundays (6/10, 6.17), then at 7:30, 8:30 and 9:30 on 6/24 and 7/1. Unless it changes again (there have already been a couple reschedulings of the show).

[aktick]

Is John from Cincinnati an hour normally? And will its regular timeslot be 9?

[felcher]

i thought the closer premiere episode is june 12. check that please.

'BIG BROTHER' TO RETURN TO USUAL NIGHTS, 'PIRATE MASTER' TO WALK TUESDAY PLANK

By The Futon Critic Staff (TFC)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LOS ANGELES (thefutoncritic.com) -- CBS has confirmed its rollout schedule for "Big Brother" while newcomer "Pirate Master" is being sent to Tuesday nights.

"Brother" will launch its eighth season on Thursday, July 5 at 8:00/7:00c with its Sunday and Tuesday editions due on July 8 at 8:00/7:00c and July 10 at 9:00/8:00c, respectively.

Said installments mirror its broadcast schedule from last summer, save for Tuesday nights where it aired at 8:00/7:00c instead of 9:00/8:00c.

As for "Pirate Master," the show's sixth episode will follow "Big Brother" at 9:00/8:00c on July 5 before it settles into its new Tuesday, 10:00/9:00c home on July 10.

I'll be on my Disney Mediterranean cruise when Big Brother starts, but with my new AT&T U-Verse DVR that won't be a problem! I can schedule it online when I'm on the ship.

Fans will be able to interact with one another and stay engaged with the show through Big Brother-focused blogs, chat rooms, message boards, weekly polls and other new interactive features.

(As in past years, to preserve the drama for BIG BROTHER 8 television viewers, CBS may block or delay the webcast for a limited number of real-time events that transpire in the house.)

BIG BROTHER 8 Mobile:

Last year's All-Star edition was the first season that supplied around-the-clock updates from inside the BIG BROTHER house to CBS's mobile subscribers. Once again, CBS will offer its mobile subscribers a unique look into the world of the Houseguests competing in BIG BROTHER 8:

Finally, CBS will provide substantial numbers of mobile video clips from Big Brother on major carriers.

Additional BIG BROTHER 8 Online elements include:

The BIG BROTHER 8 website on CBS.com will include detailed summaries of all the events that happen during each televised broadcast; a live 24/7 chat room; popularity and opinion polls; a virtual tour of the BIG BROTHER house; descriptions of the week's challenges; voting history pages; photo galleries; and a houseguest section with complete profiles.

"HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD BLOG" returns for its second season in which fans will be able to hear straight from the Head of Household about life in the BIG BROTHER house, what it is like to be under the constant gaze of dozens of cameras and watched live on the Internet 24/7.

BIG BROTHER 8 will follow the relationships and conflicts of players who live together in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. One by one, the houseguests will vote each other out of the house. At the end of three months, the last remaining houseguest will receive the grand prize.

'Big Brother 8' Plans Expanded Coverage
Showtime will air the racier late-night action after July 5 premiere
June 11, 2007


This season's biggest additional twist is the appearance of "Big Brother: After Dark" on Showtime's "Shotoo" broadcast platform. Each night, Shotoo will feature a live feed from the Big Brother house airing from midnight-to-3 a.m. ET. That sounds like it might be boring, but since the "Big Brother" house is in Los Angeles, it'll actually be from 9 p.m. to midnight for the guests, so expect the potential for occasional random nudity.

Looks like I picked the wrong year to drop Showtime!

Chris

Not sure what I was smoking, but I have Showtime!

It means when I get back from my cruise, I'm going to have a s-load of crap to watch!
