Television Premieres and Notables: June 13-19, 2016

Ok-- first off: My laptop is really not working for me lately, so any searching for info I would normally do will take too long (it's taken a half hour just to get this far), and because I'll be busy this weekend, I am doing this before I get Entertainment Weekly and I'm not near my DVR to verify info.

So this week I'll list days, networks, and titles, but no times. Sorry.

But before I get to next week, how about I fill in a few misses from last week's post?


Saturday, 6/11

Hell on Wheels; AMC. 8 pm CST. Final Season Premiere (or the back half of last season according to AMC).
This show has had a few misses, but the hits are so worth waiting for.
But the most consistently great part of this show has to be Anson Mount. That dude is so much fun to watch do his thing.
I will miss this show after it's done this summer.


Sunday, 6/12

The Last Ship; TNT. Season Premiere.

Ride With Norman Reedus; AMC. 9 pm(?) CST. Series Premiere.
The Walking Dead's resident stud gets on his bike and rides.

Braindead; CBS. Series Premiere.

Major Crimes; TNT. Season Premiere.


Tuesday, 6/14

Television Premieres and Notables: June 6-12, 2016

Monday, 6/6

Angie Tribeca; TBS. 8 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
One of the silliest shows on TV (think Naked Gun-style comedy)-- and I love it.

Unreal; Lifetime. 9 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
This a great summer show. I have no interest in reality dating shows, but this fictionalized (but very grounded in what really happens) story about the behind-the-cameras look at a Bachelor-style dating show is really watchable.
It was a little over-the-top last season, but check it out.

Tuesday 6/7

Casual; Hulu. Streaming. 2nd Season Premiere.


Wednesday, 6/8

The Americans (FX; 9 pm CST). Season Finale.


Thursday, 6/9

Morgan Spurlock Inside Man; CNN. 8 pm CST. 2nd Season Premiere.
Another show I really enjoy.


Friday, 6/10

Voltron: Legendary Defender; Netflix. Streaming. Series Premiere.


Saturday, 6/11

People's List; ABC. 7 pm CST. Series Premiere.
First off, let's just get this out of the way: The "People's" in the title is for People magazine.
So, you know, let that tidbit be your first decision point.
Anyway: Jerry O'Connel and SuChin Pak run-down the top five people worthy of talking about of the week.
And, let's keep in mind: People magazine makes the list...


Sunday, 6/12

Still the King; CMT. 8 pm CST. Series Premiere.
Billy Ray Cyrus created and stars in this series about am '80s country singer who becomes an Elvis impersonator and then finds himself becoming a preacher.
So, uh, yeah: that's a thing...
