TNT Announces 2009 Summer Lineup
April 30th, 2009 | 2 Comments | Email | Share | TweetTNT has announced its summer schedule, pairing new shows Hawthorne and Dark Blue with established shows Saving Grace and Leverage. The new lineup will give TNT a two-hour block of dramas on Monday through Wednesday nights. TNT’s summer kicks off June 8 with the fifth-season return of The Closer in its regular Monday 9 pm slot, followed by the second season premiere of Raising the Bar at 10 pm/ET.
Saving Grace, which TNT originally launched off the back of The Closer, will now be utilized to launch Hawthorne on Tuesdays starting June 16. Starting its third season, Saving Grace will run at 10 pm/ET, leading out of Hawthorne, which stars Jada Pinkett Smith as a single mom and the director of nursing at a North Carolina hospital.
Then on Wednesdays starting July 15, the second season of heist drama Leverage will run at 9 pm/ET, into the new Jerry Bruckheimer cop entry Dark Blue, which centers on undercover LAPD cops.
May TNT should pick up “The Game” from the CW. This show was off the hook and had a lot of followers. They are still fighting for the show to be placed on the fall line up. Why not TNT can be the number station, but picking up some of these shows that are being dropped. I have to say that I love me some Hawthorne, the first night of watching it wanted me to make sure to set my DVR.
Please DO NOT drop “Saving Grace” great show. There is a story there, not some maked up so called reality. It is like reading a great book, you don’t want to put it down. You look up and see that it’s the next morning. If you know what I mean.
TNT you are giving the major networks a run for their money with the GREAT Shows.
Thank you
