What are you looking forward to?

I'm happy to see "The Leftovers" is coming back, although the date is TBA.

1. Great info!

I'm looking forward to "The Leftovers." Full-on sci-fi "Defiance" back. "Under the Dome" (not the epic SK book). "The Strain" and apocalyptic vampirism back! "The Whispers" and "Ballers" look interesting. I think "Falling Skies" and "Continuum" are both series finale, but good stories.

"True Detective" Season 2.

7. I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes "Under the Dome" LOL

I liked the first season much better than the second one. I wonder where they will go with it this time around.
I thought "The Whispers" looked good too. We must have similar taste!

Also, the promos for "The Zoo" looked good. Don't remember when it premiers though.

2. Thanks this is helpful

I want to check out the new HBO series.

So far the only thing I am looking forward to is
Orange is the New Black

3. Lots of good stuff here! Thanks!

I see "Wayward Pines" on the list. We are watching that currently, and it's pretty good.

Upcoming shows we're looking forward to are:
"Halt and Catch Fire" on AMC
"Sense8" on Netflix
"Defiance" on Syfy
"Dark Matter" on Syfy
"Tyrant" on FX
"Poldark" on PBS (Masterpiece) - not on this list
"True Detective" on HBO
"Under the Dome" on CBS (this show makes me laugh!)
"Falling Skies" on TNT
"Mr. Robot" on USA - also not on this list
"Masters of Sex" on Showtime

And from the TBA list:
"Humans" on AMC
"Westworld" on HBO
"The Leftovers" on HBO
"Fear The Walking Dead" on AMC
"Da Vinci's Demons" on Starz - not on this list

8. Oh yes, "Poldark" looks wonderful.

I never watched the original series.

I didn't like "Wayward Pines" at first, but I'm sticking with it for now. The premise reminded me of "Under the Dome".

You mentioned some that I hadn't heard of. Thanks!

4. Sense 8 is the one that jumps out for me...

... but I don't have Netflix so wont' see it right away.

I think Doctor Who will be back in August, that's the one I'm really looking forward to!

5. Not a single thing I care about -- is there something? The Leftovers

is unique - mesmerizing TV. Please tell me something on this list if worth it?

6. Wait til you see the list of new fall shows...

I've been looking at the list of fall premieres, and it is horrible. It depends on what kind of show you like, but I think the spring and summer shows beat the fall shows by a huge margin. I only saw ONE new show on the list for this fall that wasn't just derivative crap. They are all the same. They're either a medical drama, a crime drama, a super-hero thing, or a dorky sitcom. The ONE original new show I've noticed was on FX.

9. Yes, I saw that.

Nothing looked good! Maybe there is a dark horse in there somewhere.

10. The Muppets mocumentary might be good.

That's the only thing I saw that seemed like something different from the rest.

11. I wish someone would come out with a modern day Columbo...they never showed gore

or dna, of course....but it was a mystery involving human beings and emotions and human frailty

why I love old movies - more about people and no other frills
