Summer 2013 TV preview: Choose your adventure

Summer isn’t the season most people veg out on their couches, but that’s exactly the reason many networks are getting more adventurous with their programming. They’re launching a beach-full of new shows and returning favorites to attract viewers looking for AV escapes after their own time in the sun. This summer’s new reality TV offerings are all about adventure with new variations on “The Amazing Race” and “Survivor” competitions--including one hosted by The Rock and another where the competitors are nude. But the scripted series are what I’m most excited to see, including the third season of “Strike Back” and new dramas “The Bridge” and “Ray Donovan,” among others. And this summer we say goodbye to four favorites: “Breaking Bad,” “Burn Notice,” “Futurama” and “Dexter.” Here are 26 possibilities; choose your own adventures.
