Memorial Day is upon us, and that means one thing: The summer TV season is here.

Here’s a list of some of the shows (yes, despite its length, it’s very much a partial list) premiering in the next few months. Who says this is television’s off season?

“Dogs in the City” (CBS, May 30): Justin Silver isn’t just a guy who gives advice to pet owners – he’s a hip guy who gives advice to pet owners. Imagine your Weimaraner in one of those “Keep Calm” t-shirts.

“Breaking Pointe” (CW, May 31): A look behind the scenes of a Salt Lake City ballet company. It stood to reason a reality show would eventually take its cues from “Black Swan.”

“The Glee Project” (Oxygen, June 2): I liked the first season of this series, a competition designed to find a new cast member for “Glee.” I’ll try to forget that last year’s big prize winner, Damian McGinty, was probably the worst actor on all of television this past season.

“Drop Dead Diva” (Lifetime, June 3): Season Four of body-swapping in the legal world.

“Teen Wolf” (MTV, June 3): Given that this shares its title with a forgettable Michael J. Fox movie, it was a surprise that the first season proved to have a little ambition. Expect more growth for Season 2.

“Hell’s Kitchen” (Fox, June 4): Predictions: the young cooks will smoke a lot, and Gordon Ramsay will swear a lot.

“Real Housewives of New York” (Bravo, June 4): Ramona has a few new cast members to break in. These series have typically done OK with their recasting, so we’re tentatively interested.

“Dance Moms” (Lifetime, June 5): What levels of bad taste can Abby Lee Miller descend to in the third season? We’re sure she will think of something.

“Pretty Little Liars” (ABC Family, June 5): Another season of intrigue among the young and pretty. I think I need a longer break after “Revenge.”

“Rizzoli & Isles” (TNT, June 5): Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander are still the mismatched best buds, this time with some personal baggage to sort through.

“Royal Pains” (USA, June 6): People are still getting sick in the Hamptons, despite the best doings of Hank and the gang.

“Love in the Wild” (NBC, June 7): Did anybody talk about this a year ago? I was surprised to see it come back. Hot singles are coupled up in the jungle in order to complete challenges, and hopefully grope each other.

“The Choice” (Fox, June 7): The premise here – quasi-celebrities competing to go on dates with civilians, complete with spinning chairs a la “The Voice” – is so bizarre, it wouldn’t be a complete shock to see it become a massive hit.

“True Blood” (HBO, June 10): Things went notably insane at the end of last season, even by the usual standards of this series. We’re pretty sure Nan Flanagan really is dead, but are not so sure about Tara. Who knows! Hang on for the ride.

“Bunheads” (ABC Family, June 11): The pedigree here is awfully good – multi-Tony winner Sutton Foster starring; “Gilmore Girls” creator Amy Sherman-Palladino at the controls – so it’s a mystery why it was shuffled off to summer and to ABC Family. Foster plays a former showgirl who winds up teaching dance classes in a small town.

“Teen Mom” (MTV, June 12): The last season for the original cast that launched a thousand tabloid covers.

“Dallas” (TNT, June 13): Maybe you’ve heard of the earlier series this one updates? The idea here, we believe, is to use the original cast (Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray) as viewer bait, but that the series will eventually focus on the hunky adult sons of J.R. and Bobby.

“Burn Notice” (USA, June 14): Michael is still trying to deal with the upheaval of his life. This still draws excellent ratings by USA standards, but it might be time to consider bringing things to an end.

“Falling Skies” (TNT, June 17): So is Noah Wyle going to get eaten or otherwise tortured by the skitters or not?  He’s Noah Wyle, so probably not, but the possibility will keep us watching.

“Bristol Palin: Life’s a Tripp” (Lifetime, June 18): The political offspring who is always telling us to respect her privacy stars in her second reality show, and the first with her toddler son.

“The Glass House” (ABC, June 18): The first serious attempt to copy “Big Brother” differs from that show in that viewers will have somewhat more control over what goes on in the house.

“Snooki and JWOWW” (MTV, June 21): JWOWW is in capitals? I never knew this. The assumption is this will be a lot like “Jersey Shore,” except instead of vomiting because of alcohol poisoning, Snooki will now be vomiting due to morning sickness.

“The Newsroom” (HBO, June 24): Hopes are sky-high for Aaron Sorkin’s first series for cable, though you just know it’s going to get preachy eventually and Sorkin will burn out again. Till that happens, we will likely enjoy this examination of cable news, with Jeff Daniels, Alison Pill, Dev Patel, and (!) Olivia Munn.

“Hollywood Exes” (VH1, June 27): The former mates of Will Smith, Jose Canseco, Prince, Eddie Murphy, and R. Kelly hang out and sing “Somebody That I Used to Know” at high volume. OK, that last part might be made up.

“Anger Management” (FX, June 28): An obscure, recently unemployed actor named Charlie Sheen stars as an anger management therapist with his own issues. I’m going to climb out on a limb and predict this will not be my favorite FX series of the summer.

“Awkward” (MTV, June 28): This good little show about the so-called life of a teenage girl in 2012 comes back for its second season.

“Louie” (FX, June 28): Television’s most experimentalist series is back for a third season. Thinking about that duck in Afghanistan still makes me choke up, almost a year later.

“Wilfred” (FX, June 28): The story of a man and the anthropomorphic dog he imagines lives next door was off-the-charts strange (and raunchy) in its first season.

“Episodes” (Showtime, July 1): Matt LeBlanc returns in the role he was born to play: himself.

“Weeds” (Showtime, July 1): Yeah, it’s still around.

“Perception” (TNT, July 9): The latest attempt to find life after “Will and Grace” for Eric McCormack stars the actor as a high-functioning schizophrenic who consults with the FBI. Sounds like a cross between “Numb3rs” and “House.”

“Covert Affairs” (USA, July 10): This series about an accidental CIA agent is a little bit nutso, but that’s not a bad thing in the summer.

“Beverly Hills Nannies” (ABC Family, July 11): Are you surprised to learn that in Beverly Hills, even the nannies look like models? Me neither.

“Big Brother” (CBS, July 12): We’re tentatively going to predict that about 12 people will be living isolated in a house, and most will have a mental disorder of some kind. That’s all we’ve got right now.

“Breaking Bad” (AMC, July 15): The fifth and final season is being cut in half, so as to parcel out the goodbyes and corpses over two summers. How will Walter handle the vanquishing of his greatest threat? Is he actually sick again (our pet theory)? And how many dang Emmy nominations will this show receive a few days after its return?

“Alphas” (Syfy, July 23): This less moronic version of “Heroes” is back for a second season, with some additions made to its mythology.

“Bachelor Pad” (July 23): The Centers for Disease Control hotspot masquerading as a reality show is back for a third season.

“Summer Olympics” (NBC and affiliated networks, July 27-August 12): We can’t forget the biggest reality show on Earth, now can we?

“Hell on Wheels” (AMC, August 12): Granted that you can’t build a railroad in a day, but this series just needs more … happening.

“Boss” (Starz, August 17): Kelsey Grammer was terrific in Season One, playing a man clinging fiercely to life and to power. Since it got a second season, we’re assuming the life part worked out OK for now.

“Copper” (BBC America, August 19): The first original series for BBC America concerns Irish immigrants in the 19^th century. “Oz” creator Tom Fontana is behind this one.

“Married to Jonas” (E!, August 19): The Jonas Brothers – Kevin and his bride star in this one – have moved into the reality show phase of their careers. The changing of the pop culture guard is now complete.
