Television Premieres and Notables: August 12-18, 2013

Well, it looks like TV Guide finally gave up on trying to get me to renew, as I didn't get an issue last week (my subscription-- which I've had for about twenty years-- ran out in April). So now I have one less resource for these weekly posts. But the TVG sub was just too much to pay for this little project as I've found the magazine next to useless for about three years or so (pretty much after I made the last payment on my four year re-sub).

But I'm gonna keep tryin' to get as much info out as possible.
