I’m maybe not as rabid as some fans but am excited for another season of OITNB which makes for nice binge viewing, though I still haven’t caught the second season of House of Cards. Jennifer Falls is a new option for sitcom lite, though these mostly aren’t as charming as their attempt to recapture the Golden Girls magic with Hot in Cleveland. Reality fare Ladies of London, Famous in 12, Siberian Cut, Untying the Knot, Escape Club look to me as more of the same.

More generic summer network fare with the start of Night Shift (work hard play hard doctors), Crossbones (John Malkovich as Blackbeard) and Undateable (isn’t it funny how bad at dating these guys are)… I’ll tune in once but take those underlines with a grain of salt they’re all supposed to be subpar. I haven’t heard much about 80s computer drama Halt & Catch Fire on AMC so I’ll check it out.

For those of you who like your cooking shows we’ve got another dose of Ramsay on MasterChef and the search for another Food Network Star. Cable brings us the likes of Wil Wheaton talking geek talk, more ‘little people’ on Lifetime along with the Flowers in the Attic sequel (only meant for people willing to suffer for nostalgia), and Big Ballet takes a spin with some plus size dancers.

And of course I’m determining whether to fill up the TiVo with French Open as this week heads through the fourth round, weekends move from ESPN2 to NBC.

Monday: Masterchef, Season Premiere (Fox, 8pm), American Ninja Warrior, Special/Season Premiere (NBC, 8/9pm), Hit the Floor, Season Premiere (VH1, 9pm), The World Wars, Series Premiere (Hist, 9pm), Petals on the Wind (Life, 9pm), Lizard Lick Towing, Season Premiere (Tru, 10pm)
Tuesday: America’s Got Talent/The Night Shift, Season/Series Premieres (NBC, 8/10pm), Extreme Weight Loss, Season Premiere (ABC, 8pm), World’s Strangest/Alien Encounters, Series/Season Premieres (Sci, 8/10pm), Little Women, Series Premiere (Life, 9pm), Wil Wheaton Project, Series Premiere (Syfy, 10pm)
Wednesday: World Music Awards (NBC, 8pm), Rogue/Rake, Season Premieres (DirTV, 8/9pm), Big Ballet, Series Premiere (Ova, 10pm)
Thursday: Undateable, Series Premiere (NBC, 9pm), Our America with Lisa Ling, Season Premiere (OWN, 10pm), Derek, Season Premiere (Net, midnight)
Friday: Marriage Boot Camp/Mystery Millionaire, Season/Series Premiere (WE, 9/10pm), Crossbones, Series Premiere (NBC, 10pm)

A never do quite get a variety show but I still like the idea of The Maya Rudolph Show, and though I can’t recommend it, in addition to trying out Gang Related which I’m sure isn’t great I have in the past tuned into Motive which also isn’t great. What I am sort of looking forward to is the return of Last Comic which brings a random assortment of amusement and of course some more tennis.

Monday – The Bachelorette, Season Premiere (ABC, 9:30pm), The Maya Rudolph Show (NBC, 10pm)
Tuesday – Judge Judy Primetime/All-Star Salute to the Troops (CBS, 8/9pm), I Wanna Marry “Harry”, Series Premiere (Fox, 9pm)

Well it’s wrapping up, time to start thinking summer thoughts, TiVo is down to 34%… And don’t ask me why an improv game show being on a slant makes it more funny but Steve Carell at least thinks it can on Riot.

Monday – #BikerLive, Series Premiere (Disc, 10pm), Yard Crashers, Season Premiere (DIY, 10:30pm)

Who can’t love Louie, and if you haven’t sampled this series I not only recommend it, but should note that different episodes are often quite different in tone and structure, but all show our hapless protagonist in funny form; the other show of note is the return of In the Flesh, that is less zombie than a look at a society with the dead and the undead. I am tempted but not that interested in checking out Rosemary’s Baby, and since I don’t get Showtime I’m not that concerned that I have little idea what’s up with the new creepy Victorian Penny Dreadful.

Monday – 24, Season Premiere (Fox, 8pm), Live & Hip Hop Atlanta, Season Premiere (VH1, 8pm), Louie, Season Premiere (Fx, 10pm)
Tuesday – Alaskan Bush People, Series Premiere (Disc, 10pm), Freakshow/Small Town Security, Season Premieres (AMC, 10/11pm), Totally Tracked Down, Series Premiere (Reelz, 11pm)
Wednesday – Hollywood Exes/La La’s Full Court Life/Marrying the Game, Season Premieres (VH1, 9/10/10:30pm), Catfish, Season Premiere (MTV, 10pm)
Thursday – American Comedy Awards (NBC, 9pm), Maron/Comedy Bang Bang, Season Premieres (IFC, 10/10:30pm)
Saturday – Iyanla, Season Premiere (OWN, 9pm), In the Flesh, Season Premiere (BBCA, 10pm)
