It's not too soon to think about your summer plans, specifically what you'll be watching:
ABC is premiering Traveler, which was I thought supposed to be a mid-season show, on May 10. The pilot will air again, on May 30. It's about two graduate students who have to go on the run after possibly being framed by their friend for possibly blowing up the Met or the Guggenheim or some unnamed, totally fictional New York art museum. We're interested in this because of the cast: Logan Marshall-Green (he was both Trey #2 on The O.C. and William Devane's weepy, bewigged gay son on 24) and Matthew Bomer (originally tapped by Brett Ratner to play Superman, vanished after quitting the soap he was working on at the time) are the guys on the run. David Nutter directed the pilot.
Hidden Palms premieres on the CW on May 30. This is Kevin Williamson's new teen soap. I'm not sure what to expect from it, except that I find the title deeply troubling. The cast includes several more O.C. alums: Taylor Handey (Oliver) and Michael Cassidy (Zach).
Kyle XY returns June 11. As I think I reported, exhaustively, before, I really enjoyed the first season. It was surprisingly sophisticated and well-acted, once you got past the horrifying, pedophilitastic pilot.
Season 3 of Doctor Who will premiere on Sci-Fi in July.
The Hills is supposed to return, already, sometime this summer. We already know a lot: Lauren and Heidi seem to not be speaking to one another. Heidi may or may not have tried to leak a Lauren-Jason sex tape (sorry and eww), which may or may not exist. Heidi's alibi is really, really good.
