Picks of the Week: Memorable TV Graduations
COMEDY SUGGESTIONS
Dads and Grads
The beginning of summer is when we celebrate dads and grads, two topics television has tackled on more than one occasion. Check out these shows that put a spotlight on the ending days of education, and fatherhood in all its ups and downs.
REALITY SUGGESTIONS
Get Your Grill On
Summertime is here, which means there's no reason to stay indoors, not even for cooking! Let these food-centric shows help guide your hand in prepping that outdoor grill and preparing a delicious feast. Just be careful what you do and do not call "barbecue."
DRAMA SUGGESTIONS
Tropical Heat
Stuck at home on a lovely summer's day? Or are you simply cursed with summer showers? Take a virtual vacation with these dramas set in warm, tropical, always sunny settings. They'll provide the entertainment, and no sunscreen is required, (but you're responsible for your own pina coladas).
SCIFI & FANTASY SUGGESTIONS
Girls Who Wear Glasses
It is said that boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses. To which we say, we're pretty sure those boys would rethink that position if they ever saw the smart and tough ladies of these science fiction classics putting on their specs. If not, then the better statement would probably be, "Boys who diss girls in glasses had better watch their asses."
BRITISH SUGGESTIONS
Mind Your Manners
Let's face it, even if the British are not, in reality, any more polite than we are in the States, they at least sound like they are. They also have a longer history of class distinctions, proper nannies, and elaborate tea services, all things that can be found in a variety of British television offerings. And always remember: do NOT put those pinkies up!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Joss Whedon is taking over the world. He dominated the box office last year with The Avengers. He's got another movie out this summer, Much Ado About Nothing, based on a play by some guy named Shakespeare. And come this Fall, his new TV show Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D will likely win the ratings war. So now is the perfect time for a return look at the series that really put him on the proverbial map, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Buffy has it all! Vampires. Werewolves. Mayor Richard Wilkins III. (It's that thing where a small-town mayor is really an ancient demon who attempts to grow stronger and take over the world by eating all the students at the local high school graduation.) So, all things considered, we're a lot happier with Joss Whedon taking over the world than we would be with some of the alternatives found on Buffy.
