 WHERE HAS ALL THE GOOD TV GONE?!!!!
It's still out there, you just have to sift through a bunch of re-runs to find the new, undiscovered gems. Below is my list of proven returning 'goodies' and promising 'newbies'.  Many of which you can watch online while you kick back poolside...


This list MUST begin with one of favorite shows of 2010! Finally, after what feels like forever....HAVEN returns!  Filmed in Nova Scotia, this show is based on the Stephen King novel 'The Colorado Kid'.  I am so bonkers about being a Maritimer, while watching this series, it just tickles me endlessly to see familiar buildings/sights and such.  As well, the Nova Scotia backdrop lends a delicious blend of melancholic beauty and dark tension.  The show airs in countries around the world, boasts a talented American and Canadian cast and features a fantastically appropriate soundtrack.
'Haven' returns to Showcase July 18th. Yay!!!!!!!


Us gals sure like our murder mysteries/crime/legal dramas and one of my favs has just returned with new episodes!  Catch up quickly with the new season of the A&E hit 'The Glades'.


"Expedition Impossible" looks like it will be action-packed visual treat! Hit the link and watch the first 15 minutes of the premiere episode.


Arguably the biggest dance competition in our little country of greatness is 'So, You Think You Can Dance, Canada'. This hit show returns to Canada tomorrow! (June 20th) 


While I can't personally vouch for it as it hasn't debuted yet, the promos look promising for Combat Hospital.


If you like mystery and intrique...then hitch your wagon to the CBS hit 'CHAOS' with familiar faces: Freddy Rodriguez,  Eric Close & Kurtwood Smith.


If you've ever had fantasies of living on another planet (you know, EVERY Monday),  then the new SciFi drama 'Outcasts' might just be your Summer Intergalactic love affair!


And finally, I must be honest: my sense of humour straddles both the absurd and foolish. (blame it on a family obsessed with Monty Python.   If you think that sounds just like you, then allow me to suggest 'Single White Spenny' and 'Almost Heroes',  two quirky new shows on Showcase....you can catch up their inaugural few episodes by hitting:  Showcase Video Player


If you have any suggestions for SUMMER TV VIEWING, please enter the conversation and drop me a comment.


As always, you are FABULOUS and a ROCKSTAR!!!
