I know I already rounded up 10 reasons why Summer TV won't be such a drag, but today's the day when I truly believe it. The third season of Army Wives begins tonight! I've long stopped feeling silly for having this much love (and it's a lot of love) for a Lifetime original series, and instead decided to simply bond with my fellow Army Wives fans.

It's almost Labor Day weekend, and you know what that means! No, not the last of beach weather or the beginning of a new school year — Fall TV is almost back! I'm beyond thrilled to get back into the worlds of my favorite shows, whether it's the juicy salaciousness of Gossip Girl, the dramatics of Grey's Anatomy, or the deadpan hilarity of The Office.

Variety has issued its annual Women's Impact Report, highlighting women who have made an impression at all levels of entertainment. Just like last year, the list includes executive powerhouses, household-name performers, and lesser-known talents. Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be spotlighting some of the women whom I find particularly noteworthy.

Army Wives: Season 1
I admitted earlier this month that I'm addicted to the Lifetime series Army Wives when I added it to my must-haves list for June, and when I declared it No.

I know I've made my love for Army Wives known, so I won't continue to expound on the numerous ways this Lifetime show surprises me. Sure, it dips into the ordinary melodramatic territory that seems to be Lifetime's specialty, but it also touches on some important issues and often makes for riveting TV. The cliffhanger from the first season, when a bomber finds his way to the women's favorite watering hole — especially set to an eerie, slowed-down version of "Goodbye, Stranger" — left me literally holding my breath.

Most of my must-haves this month are highly anticipated albums, though I'm also jonesing for the latest seasons of a couple of my beloved TV shows. And check out which funny memoirist is back with a book that's getting all kinds of raves. To see what I'm adding to my shopping cart this June, just hit "Start."

I can't believe this season of "Army Wives" is nearly over! I've grown almost as attached to this series as I am to the shows I watch during the regular TV season. The good news is that the series was picked up for another season on Lifetime, so at least tonight's episode is not goodbye forever.
