24 Shows to Save Your Summer

Snooze amusements for teens

If you have the rare tween or teen who doesn't sleep late and then eat all the cereal, try these to keep her busy until she heads off to summer camp:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
FX, 7am, weekdays
Imagine being told you're the "Chosen One," put on this earth to fight vampires and stop the spread of their evilness... hey, things could be worse. Okay, maybe not, but it sure is fun watching do-gooder Sarah Michelle Gellar kick vampire butt (accompanied by today's hottest bands). Vampires have come a long way since Bela Lugosi first sunk his overbite into necks in 1931. Now they're stronger, more demonic and better looking than ever before (causing some serious love/hate issues for Buffy).

The Beverly Hillbillies
Hallmark, 9am, weekdays
Will we ever get tired of Jethro's cypherin', Elly Mae's critters or Granny's possum? Hoo-doggies, I hope not! Thank goodness for this story about a man named Jed, a poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed. So just set a spell. Take your shoes off. Y'all come back now, y'hear?
