Andy DehnartIt’s time for summer, which is both a time for networks to bring back trashy favorites (Big Brother) and to try to create new hits (such as last year’s breakout Dancing with the Stars).
Here’s what we expect this summer on network and cable TV. This list will be updated frequently as new premiere dates are announced. All times are ET and p.m., unless otherwise noted. And since networks like to make changes frequently, check your on-screen guide first.
