Do you hear that? That's winter coming.
Game of Thrones is back! (Almost.) It's so close we can almost taste it. HBO brings the huge, complicated crew back for season six, which should be interesting because the existing books haven't taken us that far yet, so show writers are basically winging it right now. A new book is coming however, but really, that can mean anything because the show and novels aren't exactly married to one another. Season six will begin airing Sunday March 24 at 9pm, so you've got a few weeks to get your kids bedtime routine nailed down so you can watch in peace without having to explain some of the more graphic and weird shit that goes on in Westeros.
Knowing how eagerly anticipated the return has been, HBO released a set of 20 production stills in advance of the premiere, so have a peek and see if you can determine who's dead on a mountainside somewhere.

If you haven't already binge-watched your way through the sixth season of Downton Abbey on iTunes, you're well aware we're in the homestretch to the finale of the show this side of the pond. PBS was clear and this is the last season for the Crawley/Grantham gang, and it is over and I know how it ends. That's right; I paid cash money to watch the whole damn thing in one afternoon and now I'm left with an affected British accent I cannot shake. Also spoiler alert: everyone is eaten by vampires. Here's what to watch after Downton Abbey.
Not only has Netflix brought us great original programming, but they're also doing us a solid in the nostalgia department, thanks to their reboots of "old" shows like Arrested Development and now Full(er) House. The Tanner family returns to the screen (or iPad, choose your poison) on February 26, which is only two weeks away, so you best order that bedazzler gun and acid wash denim fringe coat for the premiere, STAT.
Have you made plans this summer? Rented a cottage? Booked an RV for a cross-country tour? CANCEL. Call right now and get that security deposit back because you'll want to spend a few warm days lounging around reading the brand new Harry Potter book coming.
