This past Monday evening, I settled into my nice cozy den with my husband, ready to experience another action-packed hour of Bauer power. It didn't take long for me to realize that my dear Jack was on hiatus until next January (barring of course any run-ins Kiefer may have with the law, which could push the next season premiere even further away. All of us 24 fans beg you to stay out of trouble, Kief!) Anyway, it occurred to me that I better find some other summer entertainment options to keep me occupied or else I'll surely get into trouble. And by trouble, I mean I'll be forced to bide my time shopping online, which will not make the husband too pleased for reasons I need not spell out.

So I searched around and found a couple of entertainment-related goodies that are sure to keep us all satiated until our favorite heroes of the small screen return to us in the fall. Take a look:

Lockup: Raw - For those of you who don't know, I have a secret obsession: Prison documentaries. I don't know what it is about caged criminals, but I can't get enough of shows that take a close look at their life on the inside. That's why when I found out a new season of Lockup: Raw was debuting this summer on MSNBC, I knew I had to set a recurring reminder on my oh-so important DVR. If you share my passion, you'll want to do the same.

My Sister's Keeper - I am personally a huge fan of Jodi Picoult, and this film adaptation of her highly successful novel is one I've been waiting for with bated breath. Follow the story of a young woman who was conceived in order to be a donor for her cancer-stricken sister. Heart-wrenching? Totally...and that's why I love it! (Opens June 26)

Intervention - I find it nearly impossible to take my eyes off of this dramatic A&E reality series that depicts the high cost of addiction. This puts the real in reality, and it's a do-not-miss show for the summer.

Bruno - Love him or hate him, you know you cannot wait to see what Sasha Baron Cohen is going to do next. And in this highly-awaited follow up film to the smash hit, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (a true comedic masterpiece), this one won't likely disappoint. However, a word to the wise here...best to leave the kiddies at home for this one. (Opens July 10)

Any summer entertainment events you can't wait for? Do share!
