Summer TV Line-Up is Hotter Than Ever Before: Check Out These Five Shows

Years ago, it used to be that one would dread the summer season where TV is concerned because all of our favorite shows go on hiatus. Have no fear, because this summer, you can find shows that are just as hot to get hooked on. These five summer shows will fill your summer with drama, entertainment, and uplifting messages.

1. Mistresses- This show is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine and is the closest thing to a prime time soap on TV this summer. It stars Alyssa Milano (Savi), Rochelle Aytes (April), Yunjin Kim (Karen), and Jes Macallan (Joss) as four female friends who face a plethora of complex decisions associated with their personal relationships. Season one ended with Karen and Elizabeth Grey going head-to-head, April ditching both the men in her life and choosing herself, Savi finding out Dom is the father of her unborn baby and fighting for her life after a car crash, and Joss losing her girlfriend, career and possibly her sister. Season two will air on ABC on June 2 at 10/9c and takes place eight months after season one ended.

2. The Bachelorette- I think by now everyone is familiar with The Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise, but I'm particularly excited about this season of The Bachelorette because it's featuring Andi Dorfman from Juan Pablo's season. Andi is a successful lawyer that knows what she wants and had no problem calling out Juan Pablo on his BS last season, which resulted in her walking away from him right before a rose ceremony. She's proven that she's not afraid to say what she's thinking and, in my opinion, that makes a good Bachelorette. The Bachelorette premiers on ABC on May 19 at 8/7c.

3. So You Think You Can Dance- Some may say this show started out as the American Idol of dance, but I believe Nigel Lythgoe still has an engaging concept with this show. SYTYCD is basically a talent competition for professional dancers who each specialize in their own genre of dance. They are put through the ringer during Vegas week, get partnered up, dance with SYTYCD All-Stars, and in the end, one male and one female are crowned "America's Favorite Dancers." I love this show not only for the dancing, but the production staff engages with fans on social media and actually listens in order to make this show 100% for the people watching it. SYTYCD premieres on Fox on May 28 at 8/7c.

4. Fix Your Life- Join relationship expert and life coach, Iyanla Vanzant, as she helps people overcome obstacles in their lives. Every episode dives into a different topic posed by a guest and includes Vanzant's view on pre-taped footage from the guest's everyday life. She attempts to make the guest look at their setback in a different way and learn how to overcome it. Viewers get updates at the end of each show on the guest's progress. Some past guests have included Terrell Owens and Evelyn Lozada. Fix My Life currently airs on the OWN Network, Sundays at 9/8c.

5. Real Housewives of New Jersey- Welcome back to one of the most popular housewives franchises on Bravo! Although, this season is a little different: Caroline Manzo and Jacqueline Laurita are gone, Kathy Wakile has been demoted to "friend of the housewives", Melissa and Teresa appear to get along, and we have three new housewives: Dina Manzo (not really new but back after hiatus from show), Nicole Napolitano, and Amber Marchese. Just because it looks like the feud between Teresa and Melissa is squashed, doesn't mean the drama well is dry this season. Look for new housewives Amber and Nicole to get into it, among other scandalous moments. The big question mark is how did Bravo handle all of Teresa's legal troubles this season? Only time will tell! Bravo has not released an air date for season 6 of RHONJ yet, but it is confirmed and will definitely premiere in either June or July.
