11 Returning Summer Shows: Our Favorites

at .  Updated at .

From vampires to lawyers, oil tycoons to to cops on the beat, we compile our 11 favorite shows returning to TV this summer.  

1. Rookie Blue - ABC (Thursday 9/8)

McSwarek is finally back together. Traci and Steve look solid. Dov has Chloe, Gail has new hair. Newly single Nick is looking hotter than ever and straight-laced Chris is headed down a dark path in a drug addled state. It's going to be one hot summer at 15 Division and I'm enjoying every episode.

2. Dallas - TNT (Monday 9/8)

They left off with John Ross having a threesome, Pamela's life hanging in the balance, Sue Ellen passed out drunk, and Southfork burning. What's not to look forward to? August 18th can get her fast enough. - Christine Orlando

3. True Blood - HBO (9/8)

I'm all in for True Blood. #TruetotheEnd - Leigh Raines

4. Mistresses - ABC (Monday 10/9)

It's soapy, summer fun with a gorgeous cast led by Alyssa Milano. The women are hot. The men are even hotter. It manages to make me laugh and yell at my TV with every hour. - Christine Orlando

5. Keeping Up With the Kardashians - E! (Sundays 9/8)

It's summer! We need guilty pleasures and easy TV. - Leigh Raines

6. Suits - USA (Wednesday 9/8)

It's my favorite once again. Ostensibly it's about a bunch of lawyers, but it manages to tap into emotions that you wouldn't think would be possible from a lawyer show, because each character is explored and highlighted for their very different personalities. - Michelle Carlbert

7. Perception - TNT (Tuesday 10/9)

I love Perception! The mind of Daniel Pierce is so fascinating and I wish I could attend his lectures! I also love the relationship between him and Kate Moretti. Even though she's engaged to her former cheating husband, I hope that the end up together! - Kate Medrano

8. Defiance - SyFy (Thursday 8/7)

It finally came back after 14 months away. It's been good, I hope Syfy decides to keep it around but bring it back more regularly. - Jim Garner

9. The Bachelorette - ABC (Monday 8/7)

Two words: Chris. Harrison. - Matt Richenthal

10. The Real Housewives of Orange County - Bravo (9/8)

Love my RHOC ladies. This complete mess of a TV show has me tuning in weekly. - Nick McHatton

11. Royal Pains - USA (Tuesday 9/8)

Summer just doesn't seem complete without heading out to the Hamptons and checking in with Hank, Evan, Divya and the gang from HankMed.
