Summer is always nice, at least at the start: there are sunny days and green grass and all kinds of things to do outside. Unfortunately, in many parts of the U.S., summer also brings insects and humidity and forces us back indoors.
The good news is that being indoors during the hottest days of the year isn't as boring as it might have once been, thanks to networks embracing the summer television season.
So what new shows and new seasons of shows can you expect this summer? We've got your list here, complete with their premiere dates and where you can find them.
