‘Bob’s Burgers’ (2011-Present)
Nothing says summer like a freshly grilled burger, and the Belcher family knows burgers — even if they don’t know much else. Patriarch and grill master Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and his enthusiastic wife, Linda (John Roberts), run a burger joint with their three kids Tina (Dan Mintz), Gene (Eugene Mirman) and Louise (Kristen Schaal).
This sweet animated sitcom has become a beloved classic for many reasons, but the relationships within the family are what truly bring the flavors together. Bob’s Burgers is a perfect summer show — light, breezy and colorful with a heaping side of heart.
‘The Bear’ (2022-Present)
Like Bob’s Burgers, The Bear also takes place in a restaurant. The kitchen setting is pretty much the only thing those two shows share, but The Bear is also a beloved hit that you should definitely watch this summer. (The fourth season premiered on June 25.)
Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), a gourmet chef, returns to his hometown of Chicago after his brother’s (Jon Bernthal) death and attempts to turn the family’s greasy sandwich shop into a fine dining establishment. The ragtag crew of restaurant employees includes everyone’s scrappy “cousin” Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), talented sous chef Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), acerbic line cook Tina (Liza Colón-Zayas) and many more colorful characters. It’s a pressure cooker of a show, full of tension and high stakes, but it’s also a story about family, community and the way food brings people together.
‘Fleishman Is in Trouble’ (2022)
Toby Fleishman (Jesse Eisenberg) is a newly single divorced father in New York City, who’s preparing to spend his summer sleeping his way through dating apps whenever his two kids are with their mother, Rachel (Claire Danes). One hitch in this plan? Rachel never arrives to pick the kids up.
As the pressure on Toby increases and Rachel’s absence stretches on throughout the summer, Toby and his two best friends (Lizzy Caplan and Adam Brody) are forced to examine their lives and their relationships. This Hulu limited series packs a serious punch, sizzling with the heat of a Manhattan sidewalk in July. The cast is excellent, and the twists are unexpected. Fleishman Is in Trouble is a fascinating examination of upper-middle-class parenthood and the expectations that come with it.
‘Beach Hunters’ (2017-Present)
Do you dream of a saltbox cottage on Cape Cod? Or perhaps a modern manse in Malibu? No matter what your dream beach house looks like, the Beach Hunters team is going to help you find it. In this House Hunters spinoff, families seek out their ideal vacation (or year-round) home that’s within their budget but still checks off all the boxes they need.
For real estate fans, it’s the perfect way to spend a rainy summer day (or a day when all you want is air conditioning.) Ocean breezes meet backsplashes and built-ins. Feeling relaxed yet?
‘Abbott Elementary’ (2021-Present)
Loath as we are to admit it, summer always comes to an end. But if you want to get excited about going back to school (literally or metaphorically), watch Abbott Elementary. This mockumentary series from writer Quinta Brunson (who also stars as second-grade teacher Janine Teagues) is about a hardworking and lovable group of teachers who spend each day at their under-funded elementary school trying to create the best place for their kids to learn.
Janine is alternately helped and hindered by principal Ava Colman (Janelle James) an outrageous and self-centered hustler who’s hiding a heart of gold, as well as her fellow teachers Barbara Howard (Sheryl Lee Ralph), Melissa Schemmenti (Leslie Ann Walter), Jacob Hill (Chris Perfetti) and Gregory Eddie (Tyler James Williams). It’s a warmhearted and inspirational sitcom that will make you laugh and cry.
