Summer may typically be known as the Clear Your Netflix Queue season, but those days are long gone.

Thanks to a 'round-the-year TV model that networks — broadcast and cable alike — have adopted in recent years, there are a slew of new scripted shows now populating the once barren months of summer. The months that used to only be good for housing reality shows and acting as a dumping ground for unpromising scripted fare. It's a dumping ground no more. (But, yes, there are still reality shows.)

So whether you're missing your dramatic favorite, that primetime comedy that you've somehow seen every single episode of because it's the only thing your entire family can watch together, or that reality competition show you only recently admitted to being a fan of, you're saved.

Try our list of ten freshman TV shows as you're experiencing withdrawal from your favorite programs over the coming months.
