    So, it's summer, and all the good TV shows have gone off the air. Now my wife and I have nothing to watch, except for random shows on HGTV, Food Network, and Animal Planet (oh, and The Soup is still new, I guess). Are there any new shows worth watching to tide us over until the fall? (Note: "America's Got Talent" does not qualify as quality programming.)

    Oh, and BTW: "It's summer. People suppose get horny." There, I got that lame-ass joke out of the way. Now you can concentrate on the question at hand. :)

    Season 2 of Burn Notice starts July 10th on USA. It's a great series that's light and fun, about a spy that gets "burned" or basically discredited and must work his way back to his job. It's part detective show, part spy intrigue, and has a dash of Macgyver with the guy's ability to come up with spy gadgets from everyday items.

    I think they're running reruns right now on USA, but it's such a breezy show, that you can more or less watch blind and figure out the relationships and story status pretty quickly.

    BSG is going away after this week. :(

    Maybe I'll check out Burn Notice. I've heard good things about it, and I do like Bruce Campbell. Not sure if the wife will like it, though.

    Has anyone watched In Plain Sight yet? Is it good?

    It's going away for about 6 months before they finish up season 4 starting in December or next January. I don't like it but Sci-Fi is gonna milk this series all they can.

    my wife likes both of them, especially so Burn Notice....she watched the first In Plain Sight and didnt cancel the weekly recording so I guess she liked it. I havent gotten around to watching it yet so cant really give an opinion, but I do like Burn Notice alot.

    Also, if anyone is still watching Law and Order CI, it just had a new ep finally aired Sunday on USA.

    I find some of the coolest stuff on Discovery\History and History Internationl whenever I think there isnt anything else on...don't give up till you at least check those. Also, if you have the HD package there is normally *something* on worth watching.
