No school this summer? Or maybe less work? You probably have more time for television, and there are some great shows coming that we don’t think you should miss.

Who needs the outdoors anyway? We went into the Hypable brain trust to round up suggestions for shows our readers should be watching during Summer 2014. With the unofficial start of the season kicking off this weekend, it’s time to fire up the barbecues set your DVRs for the following shows!

For your convenience, we’ve placed the shows in order of when they begin airing. The first two are already underway. With each show we explain why it’s worth tuning in for.

Now we turn to you, the Hypable reader: What shows will you be watching that air this summer? Whether it’s one of the suggestions we made above or a different show entirely, we’re looking to hear what will be of interest to our readers this summer as we watch lots of alternative programming that doesn’t air during the prime fall season.

Speaking of fall television, earlier this month the broadcast networks set their schedules for Fall 2014 and canceled numerous shows. Check out our scorecard for information on which shows were renewed, which were canceled, and more.
