Hot For Summer: 100 Premiere Dates And More!

Now that May sweeps has swept on by and the "in-season" TV season has passed ... well, don't put down that remote just yet. Not by a stretch. Because it is time to (So You Think You Can) Dance, solve more White Collar crimes, taunt those Pretty Little Liars, return to Dallas, Suits up, play with some Political Animals, say farewell to Eureka and more.

Here are more than 100 dates, from series premieres (shown in blue, with a brief summary) to returning faves, with a few finales and specials thrown in.

Preemptive P.S. My calendar-making skills are not infallible, so if you spot something that is missing, drop a note in Comments and I'll make updates as warranted. But really, I cast an atypically wide net this go-round, so if it's not here, it's, like, the 37th iteration of a cupcake show or exploitainment TV.
