Summer TV is beginning to run slow as we prep for the start of the Fall season. This month sees the beginnings of some reality shows along with some new comedy specials. Most notable is the return of BH90210 as the cast of the iconic show play versions of themselves trying to revive the series. The Teen Choice Awards and the MTV VMAs may prove to have some noteworthy moments. On the big screen, Hobbs & Shaw bring some serious action and comedy to the Fast and Furious franchise. There are more family-friendly movies this month as Dora the Explorer and My Spy provide some end of summer family entertainment. Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish and Elizabeth Moss team-up in The Kitchen playing mob wives turned mob runners. The final highlight is a dog movie that is guaranteed to make you cry, Milo Ventimiglia stars in The Art of Racing in the Rain. Check out the list below for what to watch August 2019!
