WipeoutTelevision is a funny thing. When you’ve been watching it all your life, it not only takes on a habitual role, it can also become extremely personal. Everyone has “their shows” — the shows they watch religiously, the shows for which DVR isn’t an option, the shows they try to talk their significant others into liking, the shows that force them to ream out a blogger for merely suggesting that “maybe the show is slipping,” ignoring the fact that the blogger really likes the show too, and if they could just meet face to face they would see that there’s no need to call him that.

Taking that into account, it can be depressing, quite frankly, when the summer months arrive and all those shows we’ve been manipulating our schedules around are gone. But it doesn’t necessarily have to be. The summer is an opportunity to leave that televisual comfort zone that we’ve spent so many years cultivating and seek new shows to add to our socially acceptable obsession. Here’s a shortlist of shows premiering this summer that should be a cure for the “where’s my show” blues.
