When it c omes to television, we're in a bull market for doomsayers. It's the end of the broadcast networks, astheir signals are pirated and their quality is eclipsed by cable and online shows. It's the end of commercial TV, as the advertising dollars move to the Internet. It's the end of entertainment, as attention spans shrink to the lengthofa YouTube video. And yet the shows keep coming. The 2013 summer season, which just recently got underway, presents worthwhile options well beyond the new and returning series, mini-series and online originals listed in this preview. The season may be relatively low in the kind of flashy, aspiring water-cooler fare that draws attention these days — of the new shows on the list, only Showtime's "Ray Donovan" and "The Bridge" on FX truly fit into that categorybut it's relatively high in shows that promise stylish and smart entertainment. USA's "Graceland," BBC America's "Broadchurch" and NBC's "Crossing Lines" may fit that description, and returnees like Showtime's "Dexter," BBC America's "Being Human" and HBO's "Newsroom" have already shown that they do. Striking a seasonal note, two of the summer's most highly

Teac in i s to appreciatesoitu e Dear Abby: I would like to respond to "Solitary Woman in Ottawa, Canada" (March 5), the expectant mom who askedhow she could raise her child to enjoy "periods of quiet, reflective fun by himself." I have two c hildren, ages 7 and l. Like "Solitary," I also DEAR enjoy time to myself, ABBY whether rea d i ng, writing or going for a hike. When my son was born, I felt it was important to give him confidence and the ability to be self-sufficient. Therefore, we have him help us withchores like grocery shopping and encourage him to make healthy, responsible choices. When he was 2 and stopped taking naps, we told him he had to have "quiet time" and that reading to himself was one of the options. As a result, our son is self-motivated, an avid reader and writer, and has an intellectual curiosity most adults don't have. He is teaching himself cursive writing and is interested in learning a foreign
language. We live in the Colorado Rockies, and getting rid of our TV set was one of the best things our family
has ever done. Instead of tuning each other out, we enjoy conversation, creating and sharing our days together. I have never been happier as a father or husband. I am concerned for people who are afraidof silence. I suspect it's a sign of sensory bombardm ent. Th e h u m an mind needs moments of clarity brought on by reflection. — Dad Who GetsIt Dear Dad: Thank you for your letter. I received many thoughtful comments from people who identify strongly with "Solitary's" point of view: Dear Abby:Your advice to "Solitary Woman" was good, but did not start soon enough. She should provide stimulating crib and playpen toys to teach her son at an early age that he can control some aspects of his environment. Having this ability is the key to enjoying solitude. When my daughter was 7 weeks old, I attached a mobile fashioned from a w h ite w ire coat hanger and rainbow-hued origami cranes to her bassinet. I wiggled it and watched her smile at the moving colored birds. When the move-

Calif. Dear Abby: According to a journalist and mother who published a book on the topic, when an infant cries, wait a few minutes and listen before reaching out. This gives the baby time to learn how he feels with himself, and to deal w ith i t e m otionally. After f i v e minutes or so, if the baby has a real need, then you can reach for him. Doing it too quickly prevents this crucial process of learning to be with oneself. — Another Solitary Canadian — Write to Dear Abby at dearabby.com or P0. Box69440,Los Angeles, CA 90069
