Ready for something new on TV to watch? Shows seem to be premiering or returning for a new season almost every day right now.

I�m looking forward to the Tuesday, July 15 premiere of A&E�s new original series The Cleaner starring Benjamin Bratt. After watching the screener of the first episode, I predict The Cleaner, a show about a man who leads a team of extreme interventionists after hitting rock bottom and kicking his own addictions, will do well if given a chance.



But, there are ton more shows that will start this summer, so turn the tube back on!

Here�s a list of some of the shows on the specialty channels (outside of the major networks like ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox) that will premiere or start a new season this summer:

Tuesday, July 15
A&E�s new original drama The Cleaner with Benjamin Bratt will premiere on Tuesday, July 15. I�ve seen the screener of the first episode, and believe me, it�s a keeper. The series will air at 9 p.m. CST.
