If you are a TV viewer of a certain age, you remember the days when summer was a TV desert of reruns and whatever "The Starland Vocal Band Show" was supposed to be. ("Afternoon Delight" did not sound any better after dark.)
But in this time of Maximum Television, the long no-school days and no-bedtime nights of summer mean more time to catch up on the year's TV bounty before the obligations of fall rear their pesky heads. Here are six terrific shows to watch while the viewing is still easy. Four of the six — "Pachinko," "Our Flag Means Death," "Minx" and "Julia" — are new series that have already been renewed for their second seasons, so what are you waiting for?
'Pachinko'
