TV

Television's most scrumptious guilty pleasure "The Vampire Diaries" returns to the CW for its third season. This "True Blood"-goes-high-school drama, based off a popular series of books, follows Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) as she's caught in a love triangle with Stefan and Damon, two vampire brothers. She fell in love with Stefan Salvatore (Paul Weasly), but a rather flirtatious relationship has developed with his brother Damon (Ian Somerhaulder).

 A vampire, a werewolf and a ghost living together sounds like the beginning of a really bad joke, or at the very least, a really bad ‘tween book.

Early on in AMC's newest drama "Hell on Wheels," the main character, Cullen Bohannon (Anson Mount), tells his new boss on the transcontinental railroad, "I'm willing to do just about anything."

Steve Buscemi has a long and accomplished acting career. He was disturbing as a serial killer in "Con Air," terrifying as a hit man in "Things To Do When You're Dead in Denver" and practical and smart as Mr. Pink in "Reservoir Dogs," but all were supporting roles. Despite this varied history, his career lacked a crown jewel, so it is fitting that his first major starring role is in an HBO series. In "Boardwalk Empire," he plays Enoch "Nucky" Thompson, an Irish gangster/city treasurer in 1920s Atlantic City.

Summer is often a mixed bag when it comes to entertainment. Good films are usually sandwiched between awful, loud shoot-um-ups, TV shows are light, fluffy summer fun, and the radio is inundated with guilty pleasure music that we'll swear we hated by the time winter rolls around.
