New and returning TV shows to watch out for in 2015

 

TV nerds, mark your calendars.

Like the flowers and furry mammals, many of your beloved television shows went underground during the winter, and come spring will be poised to make their midseason returns. They’ll also be competing with some interesting new entries to various network lineups.

Some WAG recommendations: “Better Call Saul,” the highly anticipated spinoff to “Breaking Bad”; Marvel’s “Agent Carter,” where the fiery love interest from Captain America takes the well-deserved spotlight; and “Galavant,” a medieval musical romp with tunes from Disney composer Alan Menken. Also keep an eye on “Parks and Recreation” and “Glee,” which are bowing out for their final seasons.
