7 TV Shows To Catch Up On DVD This Summer

While swimming in a lukewarm bath of semi-satisfactory season finales, we find ourselves pleasantly distracted by the new crop of fresh talent that will be gracing our DVRs for the summer.

But, even the best of efforts made by Summer Series will not be anywhere near the amount of television we are used to watching. So, we are assigning ourselves a little homework:

Seven Series we plan to catch up on over the Summer:

1. Sons of Anarchy (FX) – Not to say that we have totally missed out on this show, but we never really knew what night it came on, and if we’d even seen the first episode. So we have to commit to watching every leather-clad, greasy-nailed moment before the Season Two premiere this fall.

2. How I Met Your Mother (CBS) – We aren’t sure that this show doesn’t suck, but so many of our friends insist that it doesn’t, we started to doubt our own instincts. And, we do enjoy Doogie Howser all growed up. So, why not spend a summer with Barney, Ted and the gang (seriously, we know nothing about the show – we just googled the cast names.)

3. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (FX) – We are a little intimidated by the fact that this show is already three seasons deep. But, we really like that little m-effer Danny DeVito, and they seem to talk about poop a lot. So, that’s pretty cool.

4. The Shield (FX) – We went to the website, and it seems we may already be too late. Does the phrase “The Final Act” sound like a series finale? Well, either way, we have seven seasons of Chiklis-y goodness to occupy us until we get further confimation on the “finality” of Final.

5. House (FOX) – Like How I Met Your Mother, our gut says this show sucks. But we hear nothing but wonderful things about Hugh Laurie and Blackadder, and he wasn’t horrible when he hosted SNL. We know what you are thinking, though – ANOTHER MEDICAL SHOW?? Well, there is a hole in our heart where ER used to be, and we think we are just about ready to start seeing a new Medical Drama.

6. Dexter (SHO) – OK, we haven’t never seen this show. We read the book, and got way into the first season. Then, we cared considerably less about the second season. And, by the time the third season showed up, we didn’t care until about 2/3 of the way through. Now, Dexter is married and a little demon seed is en route, so we want to know what all the little inside jokes are before the news season of righteous killing begins.

7. Damages (FX) – That brain-sucking Hulu alien got us all worked up over Season One, then cruely took all early episodes from Season 2 away before we could watch them. Try as we may, we haven’t been able to find full episodes of Season 2 anywhere, so we will now wait calmly for the DVD to come to Blockbuster, then devour it in a matter of days. We may call in sick.

Oh – and we clearly have a boner for FX. You were thinking it, we said it.
