Summer TV Preview: Returning Shows

A new season of "Breaking Bad" would be enough to get us excited for summer TV, but add to it new installments of everything from "True Blood" to "Suits" to "Pretty Little Liars" to guilty reality TV pleasures like "Bachelor Pad" and "Big Brother," and we may not find any reason to use our sunblock this season.

"Breaking Bad" (AMC)

Returns July 15

Sad as we are that this show is coming to a close, the good news is that Season 5 will be rolling out slowly, with the first eight of 16 episodes this summer and the next in 2013. We left off with Walt manipulating Jesse, Gus getting blown up, Mike being completely absent, and Junior gorging himself on breakfast. According to Aaron Paul, this season will be the craziest one yet. Can. Not. Wait.
