Summer TV shows

I'm watching America's Got Talent - H and I got hooked on it two years ago. New Yorkers are showing off their skills , and so far, so good - pretty entertaining (zoosermom should be proud of her people). I just saw a preview of another show coming in the nearest future - The Baby Borrowers. Could be a good one!

What are your favorite summer TV shows?

BunsenBurner -
I watched it last night, too. That little 4 year old girl blew me away! I've never heard a child so young who could sing on key like that. What a cutie!

I also enjoy So You Think You Can Dance, and I was SO looking forward to the return of The Mole but I was disappointed in the resurrected version of the show. I found the players to be unlikable and the new host doesn't hold a candle to Anderson Cooper.

Design Star is fun, too. One of the designers is from my hometown so I'm rooting for him to win!

Aside from So You Think You Can Dance, I find summer to be pretty sad in terms of TV watching. We use the time to watch series on DVD that we missed. Currently we are watching Battlestar Galactica.

I love So You Think You Can Dance but miss a lot of it due to my own D's summer dance schedule!! (I am technically a moron when it comes to recording things)

I also like that new show "Swingtown", a lot of the girls here at work are watching it and we all laugh about it. I saw a commercial last night for a new show with Simon Baker (<3) but I am not sure when that starts.

MomOf3Stars: I was also incompetent when it came to recording things until I got TIVO. I heartily recommend it. It has also changed my viewing habits for the better.

Count me as another fan of So You Think You Can Dance. I also like The Closer on TNT - Kyra Sedgewick is wonderful!

We do this, too. Just finished Season 2 of Weeds.

If anyone hasn't seen the Tudors, I highly recommend it! Season 2 is on SHO, season 1 can be rented I think.

Awww man. Did I miss this? SHoot. It got four stars review in the Post and I meant to watch it. So I watched The Universe instead.

Cosmos with Carl Sagan is going to be run in its entirety on Sunday on the Science Channel. Looking forward to that!

The Bachelorette.
I'd laugh and point at you if I hadn't watched Rock of Love. Both seasons.

Kathy Griffin - My Life on the D List. Although I am expected that either Oprah or Barbara Walters may have her assassinated before this season is over.

Zoozermom - I am a little surprised to see Rock of Love on your list - it was like a train wreck, wasn't it? Oops - does that mean I watched it too?
