Dear newsletter subscribers,

Is it almost the end of summer? Of course, no, not really. Here in Florida, the heat and humidity don't really let go until October-ish. It should be the waning days of summer TV—and though summer TV is waning, some summer shows are just now premiering, thanks to this bizarre year.

This weekly preview covers the next two weeks, and will return Aug. 31. I’m taking a one-week break next week from writing this preview, but doubling up this week.

It’ll be back just before the debut of my fall reality TV calendar ready—though this fall will look different than most falls, since there's barely any premieres ahead.
