My friend Eva just got a subscription to Entertainment Weekly, and she’s passing issues on to me when she finishes with them. I’ve never really read this magazine before, but it’s kind of nice to know what’s coming up this summer. I usually find out about series I might’ve liked after the fact and miss out.
Tonight it’s Hung. This has a great hook, but EW just gives it a C+ because some of the jokes are a bit “limp” and the series hasn’t figured out what it wants to be. Still, I’m intrigued and I’ll watch the first episode.
Then July 7th, Warehouse 13. It’s sci-fi. Basically, the X-files are real and they’re in this warehouse. I hope they don’t screw this up because it’s a great premise and I’m looking forward to it.
I think a Torchwood (BBC America) miniseries is coming July 7th, but I didn’t see anything about it in EW.
July 10th, Eureka continues. Humor and sci-fi. What’s not to like?
July 12th, Entourage. Oh yeah! One of my favorite series is back for a 6th season. Did you watch Brian Williams’ interviews with President Obama a few weeks ago? That’s where I found out that agent Ari Gold (a character on Entourage) is rumored to be based on the brother of Obama’s Chief of Staff. Rham Emmanuel.
August will bring Project Runway and Mad Men, two more favorites. I’m not really a TV-watcher, so this wealth of interesting shows is overwhelming. The manuscript for my fifth erotic historical romance for Kensington—Dane, The Lords of Satyr–is due September 1st. Good thing I can DVR some of these shows to watch after that!
Are you a True Blood fan? EW said that its first episode this season had amazing ratings. I was turned off by the violence in the first two episodes of season one, but I’ve been thinking of trying the series again. I love Sookie Stackhouse.
So what are you looking forward to watching this summer? What are you definitely not going to watch?

Haven’t watched “True Blood” yet. I am super excited about the new season of “Mad Men.” I can’t wait to find out about Betty and her pregnancy. “Warehouse 17″ sounds intriguing, but I haven’t heard anything about the show.

I didn’t see much of True Blood. I’m wondering if we’d need to start at the beginning or if we could just pick up in this season. I hope Mad Men continues to be good. I’m a little worried about that one. I love all the stuff that happens at work with Don’s clients, so I hope they keep showing that. I don’t know anything about Warehouse either. I have a feeling I’ll be DVRing that one for sure.

Wanted to stop by and say hello. I can’t wait for the new book. How much longer do we have to wait? It’s too long!!!!
by Heather Brewer · June 28th, 2009 at 4:58 pmI like America’s got Talent. I also received the Dean Martin Roast collection on DVD and I am so excited to watch them.

Great to see you here. Thanks for asking about my next novel. I know Dane The Lords of Satyr pubs in 2010, but I’m not sure what month. I’ll say here and on my enewsletter when I find out though. Have a good week.
Hi Marial,
by Elizabeth Amber · June 28th, 2009 at 11:35 pmI haven’t seen America’s Got Talent. I did see some of Britain’s Got Talent thought–just a few things on YouTube. It’s riveting. Thanks for dropping by the Aphrodisia blog.
For anyone who saw HUNG on HBO tonight, what did you think? I liked it!
I also saw that Torchwood will premier July 20th on BBC America. I enjoyed the shows I saw and this miniseries looks promising.
by Elizabeth Amber · June 28th, 2009 at 11:36 pmI’m an America’s Got Talent fan, too. Whoo hoo! Where else can you see: jugglers, magicians, singers, dancers, impressionists and dominatrix yodelers all in one show? Huh? Where, I ask you?
As for dramas, my dh and I have picked up most seasons of The Wire on DVD and we’re hooked.
Mad Men makes me think of the ugly days when women in the workplace were seen as sexual conveniences and I find it insulting. I’m probably the only one who does, though. M’eh…I don’t like blonde jokes either b/c they’re mostly misogynistic.
And wow…don’t know how this went from hilarity on AGT to misogynism, but there you go. Summer TV can do that, I guess.

Hows the writing going these days? My favorite part of Mad Men is always whatever ad campaigns their working on and the whole ad business. Don’s home life took a dark turn last season and I’m hoping it’s a little lighter this season.
Hi Book Junkie,
Thanks for stopping by. Sookie Stackhouse is an incredibly brilliant choice for her name. I was intrigued about the series right off the “bat” because of it.
