Tonight’s TV Spotlight…Monday, June 13, 2011

ABC Family is wasting no time in starting a new season of THE SECRET LIFE — season 4 premieres tonight after season 3 ended just last week.

And not only that, but THE BACHELORETTE is new (hopefully it can redeem itself after last week…well, as much as a guilty pleasure/trashy reality show can redeem itself) and SWITCHED AT BIRTH continues. Are you watching? Excited to see where this show goes?
