My Top 10 Summer TV Shows to DVR (or Roku)

We rarely watch the 50-inch Panasonic plasma TV without using the DVR so we can speed past those boring commercials.  It is very nice to not have to plan your schedule around what is on TV.  Anytime we’re ready to watch the Panasonic, there is usually something interesting on the DVR.  If not, we also have our Roku to watch Netflix, Hulu Plus, and other stuff.

The following is my list of the Top 10 Shows playing on our Panasonic this summer:  

10. True Blood starts Sunday, June 26, on HBO.  We love this wacky show, though I wish Sooki would drop that boring Bill and see how much more interesting Eric is.

9.  Louie returns starting Thursday, June 23, on FX.  We didn’t watch the first season of this until it was offered on the Netflix Instant Play.  It actually got dropped from availability on Netflix before we were able to watch all the episodes.  I am looking forward to being able to see more of comedian Louis C.K.

8.  The Big C returns Monday, June 27, on Showtime.  We love Laura Linney!  This and Nurse Jackie are the only reasons we have Showtime. Alan Alda and Parker Posey are guest staring in the second season. 

7.  Curb Your Enthusiasm returns to HBO on July 10. Larry David is going to be back in New York City, so how could this not be hell Larry ass?

6.  The Glee Project is on the Oxygen channel starting June 12,  I am sure this will be quite hokey, but what the hay... Twelve contestants compete for a multi-episode guest-star role on Glee.  Judges include Darren Criss (Blaine).

5.  The Susie Orman Show on CNBC.  Are you kidding me girlfriend?  You know you're a homebody (loser?) when this is the highlight of your Saturday night.  There are always new episodes of Suzie on our DVR. 

4. All Creatures Great and Small on Netflix.  We have the first two seasons of this series on DVD, but the rest of the series is available on Netflix.  

3. Bob’s Burgers on Hulu.  We just started watching this series, so we have to catch up on the Hulu.

2. Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO On Demand.  Bill is continuing his current version of Politically Incorrect on cable.  It is usually good for a few laughs.  

1.  Big Brother 13 starts Thursday, July 7.  Don't judge me for watching the horrible people that compete for $500,000 on this train wreck of a show.  I'm sure there will be the usual cast of characters, including at least one token gay that makes all gays look bad.  I still think it would be cool to have a whole house full of gays.  But I doubt that it could get on network television.
