Top 10 Summer TV Pics

Summer is here and that comes with good news (great weather, the kids are out of school) and bad (three months till season premieres, the kids are out of school).

Luckily for you, we here at RadarOnline.com have taken a gander around the summer schedule and complied a little cheat sheet to stuff in your cooler until the cavalcade of Fall TV frenzy strikes yet again.

True Blood: Need your Vampire fix until New Moon hits theatres in November. Try this HBO drama is the network's biggest ratings hit since its other band of bloodthirsty misfits, known as the Sopranos, rolled out of town.

Entourage: Summer is known for sexy, and so is Adrian Greiner. Watch the handsome faux A-lister mix it up in LaLa land on another season of HBO's smash hit, Entourage.

Weeds: We didn't buy Mary Louise Parker as the second coming of Tony Montana either, but the brunette bombshell has pulled it off for years now on the Showtime stoner comedy, Weeds. We're just waiting for Seth Rogen's well-deserved cameo ...

Great American Road Trip: This NBC reality game show pits seven families against one another in a cross county challenge where they play for "a dream prize." Get those Thomas maps out!

Big Brother 11: This stalwart CBS reality competition proves that, while Big Brother may always be watching, even more people are watching Big Brother! And to think its been 25 years since 1984 ...

Project Runway: The sophisticated fashion world is well-documented in this Bravo show, hosted by Heidi Klum, which pits aspiring designers against one another. Good if you're into chic clothes without the cattiness of America's Next Top Model.

I Survived a Japanese Game Show: An innovative idea, albeit a bit passe in the You Tube Era, this show is slated to feature Americans headed toward the land of the rising sun to compete in their quirky, sometimes hazardous game show circuit.

Royal Pains: Think ER meets the Real Housewives Of New York, as Mark Feuerstein stars in this TNT show as a physician attending to the Northeast aristocracy of the Hamptons. Good to have one around, especially if Kelly Kiloreen-Bensimon is in one of her moods.

Mental: This Fox drama chronicles the ongoings of some of the world's most entertaining personalities: psychiatrists.

The Storm: Think a summer blockbuster movie -- but on TV. This NBC drama stars James van der Beek as a sceintist aiming to save the world after a billionaire's unwise experiment nearly kills all life.
