We did this last year, and I’d like to think it was semi-useful. So, if you know any solid return dates for your favorite shows, and/or would like to bring attention to a new summer show, please provide the dates in this thread… **…but limit yourself to shows you do/plan to watch, please, so we know what you think is worth tuning in for**.\* I could list three dozen dates right now, but what’s the fun in that? June: Franklin & Bash, season 1 - June 1 (tnt) Hawthorne, season 3 - June 14 (tnt) Falling Skies, season 1 - June 19 (tnt) True Blood, season 4 - June 26 (hbo) July: Warehouse 13, season 3 - July 11(syfy) Haven, season 2 - July 15 (syfy) ?? Design Star? - nothing on the HGTV website yet ☹ - if you’re stumped and ask nicely, I’m sure we can find you dates for many shows we don’t watch, too. Don’t ask for **Mad Men** or **Southland** , though, since they won’t be on this summer. ---

> [@Dietrich\_K](#): > > I got but one: **Finding Bigfoot** , Sunday, June 5 on Animal Planet. They’ll never find a Bigfoot, though I predict lots of ooohing and aaahing over bear scat and bison hair, and a frenzy of excitement whenever they hear some poor varmint trekking through dry leaves in the distance. 😉 ---

**elfkin** - could you collect the shows listed so far? I have some to add, but don’t know an elegant way to leave off the ones already listed. Plus here are a couple of useful links: [Returning shows](http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/summer_preview/summer_tv_preview_returning_sh.php) [New shows](http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/show/summer_preview/summer_tv_preview_2011_new_sho.php) ---

Commercial Kings, June 24 on IFC looks worth a look. Necessary Roughness, June 29 on USA. Callie Thorne usually delivers. Torchwood moves to Starz on July 8. Men of a Certain Age returned to TNT June 1. The Glades returns to AETV June 5. Memphis Beat returns to TNT June 14. Rookie Blue returns to ABC June 16. Neither of these is “must see” TV for me, but if I am bored… Rizzoli and Isles returns to TNT July 11. ---
