Summer Shows That I’m Missing Already

Although summer is still here (officially) for the next month, some of my favourite summer shows have already had their finales. Here’s what you’ve been missing…

Franklin and Bash
Franklin and Bash is a buddy lawyer dramedy on TNT, starring Breckin Meyer (most well known as the stoner from Clueless) and the still young looking Mark Paul Gosselar. It about two lawyers who act like frat boys that leave their own law firm to join a larger firm, but take their carefree lawyer ways with them. They have fun cases (two brothers sue their Dad over a baseball!), great guest stars (Dawson Creek alum and Mark Paul’s doppelganger James Van Der Beek) and a lot of heart. It has been picked up for another season (yay!), but doesn’t return until the summer (boo!).

Single Ladies
A scripted show on VH1 (yes, reality network VH1!), Single Ladies looks at the lives and loves of three gorgeous single ladies in Atlanta. It’s brought back another Clueless fave to TV, Stacey Dash, along with singer and one time One Tree Hill star and pop singer Tyler Hilton. Although the show is titled Single Ladies the title characters do all have exciting love lives for most of the show.

Covert Affairs
One of USA’s shows that I am obsessed with is Covert Affairs, a spy drama about the Central Intelligence Agency. With complicated missions, exotic locales and Popular’s Christopher Gorham it’s a fun summer treat. It stars Coyote Ugly's Piper Perabo and she's actually charming and kicks butt. Who would've thought?

Next Food Network Star
As my good friends know I love to eat food, but don’t like to make it. Well, not if it takes more than 10 minutes, as most real meals do. Next Food Network Star is an interesting TV show, following wannabe TV hosts who have to cook, but also prove that they have the chops to host their own show. Some are great in front of the camera, but not in the kitchen and vice versa. And I liked the winner, so maybe I'll even watch his show!

These four favourites might be over, but there's never a shortage of things to watch on my DVR. I think Drop Dead Diva is next in my to watch list...
