Summer, Summer, Summertime, Let's Just Sit back and REwind

Happy Monday My Friends,

(Better late than never right my friends)

Okay so back in the day we used to have to rewind in order to watch our shows, VHS's did not do that automatically for us, unlike today with PVR. 

Since it is summer and I know you will all be outdoors enjoying that beautiful sunshine, I thought, 'Hey, my friends would still like to know when their favourite summer shows begin, wouldn't they?' That answer I know is a big YES!

So here it is!  A mixture of returning and new shows to keep us entertained for those rainy nights, or that summer cold you may catch!

David Duchovny is BACK but this time in Los Angeles. 1967, playing a decorated World War II vet and homicide detective, barely recognizes the city he's now policing.

So when Emma Karn, the 16-year-old daughter of an old girlfriend, goes missing in a sea of hippies and Hodiak agrees to find her, he faces only hostility, distrust and silence. He enlists the help of Brian Shafe - a young, idealistic undercover vice cop who's been allowed to grow his hair out - to infiltrate this new counterculture and find her. 

A little mystery is always good for the summer!
