Cable TV Summer Shows

Last year cable stations put out some pretty good new series. I was glad because the networks mostly play re-runs during the summer.
These are some I watch that got renewed and start their 2nd season this 2011 summer:
6/5 The Glades (A&E)
6/7 White Collar (USA)
6/7 Covert Affairs (USA)
6/14 Memphis Beat (TNT)
7/11 Rizzoli & Isles (TNT)

Anyone else watch some of these? Memphis Beat is my favorite but I like The Glades & Covert Affairs alot too.

Piper Perabo being in it got me to tune in. It grew on me, a little. It wasn't great, but I did watch every episode and will likely tune in again.

I heard good things about White Collar and The Glades, but haven't seen either, yet.

I'm most looking forward to the new science fiction series on TNT that is coming on or about June 19. Spielberg is involved in it to some degree. It's called Falling Skies, iirc.

And, of course, I'm looking forward to the return of Breaking Bad.

Ran across a pretty good summer preview here:
