Futurama |
When & Where: June 23rd, Thursdays at 10 on Comedy Central
We're back, baby! This June, Futurama debuts the second half of its first season on Comedy Central, and shows no sign of letting up on its high-concept brand of humor. We've seen bits and pieces of the new season, and it is every bit the frenetic sci-fi humor we've come to know, love, and hate Zoidberg for. Check out a clip from the gender-bending season premiere "Neutopia!"
True Blood |
When & Where: June 23rd, Sundays at 9 on HBO
Oh yes, it's back. And yes, there will be blood, sex, and faeries. Admit it, True Blood is one of your guilty pleasures, and you're chomping at the bit for the latest sexy Sookie Stackhouse action as the residents of Bon Temps take on a coven of witches and deal with the fallout of King Russell Edgington's anti-human antics last season.
Falling Skies |
Where & When: June 19th, Sundays at 10 on TNT
If you haven't been following this, you should. Something of a cross between The Walking Dead and an alien invasion, what we've seen of Falling Skies is extremely promising, with lots of despair and alien action to satisfy nerds and drama hounds of all ilk.
Breaking Bad |
When & Where: July 17th, Sundays at 9 on AMC
Yes, Walter, Jesse, and Gus are back, and you'd better call Saul! We've waited near of a year to find out what happened at the climactic conclusion of "Full Measure," and while we'll assume that Jesse really pulled the trigger, we can't wait to see what kind of tense horrors the meth-cooking duo get up to in season four.
The Glee Project |
When & Where: July 12th on Oxygen
Need your Glee fix until the Fall? How about Oxygen's new reality competition, where contestants compete to actually win a role on the third season on the show? Sure, the role won't be terribly big, but were sure a few Glee faces will inevitably stop by to wish the contestants well. Did someone say Heather Morris dance lessons? Check it out.
