Ladies and gentlemen, mark your calendars: Game of Thrones is coming.  Today during its TCA panel, HBO announced the Game of Thrones Season 5 premiere date, as well as the return dates for the fantastic comedy series Veep and Silicon Valley.  All three shows return to the pay cable channel on Sunday, April 12th, ensuring that your DVR will be full of good things very, very soon.  Of note, this is also two days after Marvel will unveil its Daredevil series on Netflix, so it’s shaping up to be one busy TV-watching weekend.  And if you haven’t yet checked in on Veep or Silicon Valley, which will be airing their fourth and second respective seasons, I can’t recommend them enough.  Very different shows, but both are incredibly funny.

Get a refresher of Game of Thrones, Veep, and Silicon Valley after the jump, and mark those calendars.
