The TV highlights have been few and far between in recent weeks, but we’re already starting to see promos for new shows premiering early in September, so keep checking back! I’ll keep you in the loop on all of the new and returning shows on all of the channels and networks–and streaming services–from which we now have to choose! In the meantime, I can’t wait to check out the new Walking Dead spinoff on Sunday! How about you?
All times eastern.
