This Summers Can’t
Miss TV Shows
In the summer, television shows usually take a break while
families spend more time outside rather than in front of the television.
However, many shows have made their summer return or premier and we have a put
together a list of TV shows you just can’t miss!
1. The Bridge
Demian Bichir stars in the role of “Marco
Ruiz,” a homicide investigator for the state of Chihuahua, Mexico living in
Ciudad Juarez. A family man, Marco is one of the last good men in a corrupt and
apathetic police force that is out-gunned by the powerful drug cartels. He’s
sharp, charming, and observant and painfully aware that his city is in a state
of chaos. When a body is dumped on the bridge that spans the El Paso-Ciudad
Juarez border, Ruiz is forced to work with his American counterpart, “Detective
Sonya North.”

Whoever holds the dirt holds the power, and before the season is over, illicit
affairs will be revealed and deep dark secrets exposed as we learn the sordid
details behind a shocking murder of a beloved housemaid.

experiment Does Someone Have to Go?, the boardroom doors get blown wide open

5. Catfish: The TV Show
How do young people who’ve embraced the digital
age find love? Often, it’s by connecting online with people they’ve never met
in person. These days, messaging on iPhones has replaced the dinner date, and emailing
through social media sites often substitutes for face-to-face conversations.
The problem with this approach – the guy or girl you’ve fallen for could be
lying about who they really are. This MTV series brings together couples who’ve
interacted solely through their LCD screens. Over the course of months or even
years – these romantics have become smitten-but what will happen when they meet
in real life for the first time?

skills as they work to uncover who among them has committed a fictional murder
in the glamorous estate they’re staying in, Rue Manor. They will even have
access to crime scene investigation techniques. A new crime is presented each
week and the player who unmasks the killer gets $250,000.

7. Under the Dome
The town of Chester’s Mill, Maine –
population 1,976 – finds itself abruptly separated from the rest of the world
by an invisible, semi-permeable barrier, which is so powerful that planes crash
when they encounter it and pacemakers explode when close to it. Premiering on
June 24th, this 13-episode series is based on a Stephen King novel, produced by
Steven Spielberg and written by “Lost” scribe and comic book creator Brian K.
Vaughan. The people in the town are cut off, with no idea why they’re stuck
inside – not only with each other, but with a murderer on the loose.
