The summer TV season gets in full gear this June, with so many new and returning series, specials and movies premiering I am not even sure where to start. AMC has resurrected "The Killing" (June 2) for a third season. The final seasons of "Burn Notice" (June 9), "Futurama" (June 19) and "Dexter" (June 30) begin. "Hot in Cleveland" kicks off its new season June 19 with a live episode, while ABC launches its DOA soapster "Mistresses" on June 3. Speaking of soap, Lifetime's "Devious Maids" starts finding the dirt on the rich June 23. But there's so much more. See below, all times are Central.
