NiCK Crush

When does Entourage and Curb Your Enthusiasm premiere?

DJariya

Hold your horses dude. This is still a work in progress.

NiCK Crush

How was I supposed to know? My apologies.

DJariya

The list is completed. I went as far as I can through a few days in August.

MrSmearkase

Wilfred is 10PM on June 23rd on FX.

Patman

May want to list May 26 for "So You Think You Can Dance"'s premiere episode, even if it moves to a different timeslot the next week.

Gizmo

Sweet list, thanks. Formatting is a bit weird though. I like the Spring look:

MARCH

03/06/11 – Sunday
Secret Millionaire (ABC) – Series Premiere
America’s Next Great Restaurant (NBC) – Series Premiere
Celebrity Apprentice, The (NBC) – Season Premiere
Army Wives (LIFETIME) – Season Premiere
Breakout Kings (AMC) – Series Premiere

I can tweak it for you if you want. I know these lists take a lot of time.

Troy Stiffler

Louie and Futurama. Excellent.

DJariya

Added Wilfred and a few more dates in May.

SteveA

You've got "Secret Life of the American Teenager" season premiering on June 6. But it's actually been on for several weeks now.

DJariya

It's the 2nd half of season 3 airing right now.

June 6th is the season premiere for season 4

ABC Family is airing 24 straight new episodes. 11 from the 2nd half of season 3 and 13 from the 1st half of season 4. Season 4 will be 25 episodes and split into 2.

MLBFan24

I'll check out Franklin and Bash. It looks kinda funny.

ATX

only things that normally go on my summer watchlists are:

Big Brother
Hell Kitchens

oh and add Warehouse 13

thats about it

DJariya

Aren't you going to try the new TNT show "Falling Skies" since your a science fiction guy? And yes, it's a serialized alien invasion series.

Trailer for it:

And Alphas on Syfy is a new serialized superhero series.

Thanks!

Fwiw, I also ran across a pretty good listing here a couple weeks ago:
http://features.metacritic.com/featu...-preview-2011/

After highlighting 20 shows, there is a listing at the bottom by week of the shows over the summer. Of course, it's not tailor made for this site, but not bad.

Evan Meadow

No Dating in the Dark this summer?

Fist of Doom

Breaking Bad, White Collar, Haven and Hot in Cleveland

Lots of good stuff this summer.

Covert Affairs and Rizzoli & Isles are on probationary status for me. They need to step up their writing. That Falling Skies trailer was cool, but a sci-fi show seems like a weird choice for TNT. I'm guessing they'll concentrate on the human drama.

Bluelitespecial

ABC has that Extreme makeover: weight loss edition on after the bachelorette, which is too bad. I really liked True Beauty after it last year, and it doesn't look like dating in the Dark will be back. At least Bachelor Pad is back in August.

Cory02

I've been looking forward to Wilfred. The commercials looked pretty good.

Gizmo

With a Man-Dog licking the Hobbit? I have no idea what the show is even about.

Bluelitespecial

Is there something different about Man Vs. Food Nation? Or is it just season 4 of Man Vs. Food renamed.

DJariya

Renamed. Adam is taking a season off and only hosting. Other people are doing the challenges.

He answers everything here:

DJariya

From the Wilfred FX site. Warning, the promo picture on the site is disturbing.

Wilfred is a half-hour, live-action comedy about "Ryan," a young man struggling unsuccessfully to make his way in the world until he forms a unique friendship with "Wilfred," his neighbor's canine pet. Everyone else sees Wilfred as just a dog, but Ryan sees a crude and somewhat surly, yet irrepressibly brave and honest Australian bloke in a cheap dog suit. While leading him through a series of comedic and existential adventures, Wilfred the dog shows Ryan the man how to overcome his fears and joyfully embrace the unpredictability and insanity of the world around him.

Gizmo

It's Summer, I'll DVR it.

Still seems a bit...weird.
