'Breaking Bad' Return Date Announced, Trailer Released (See it Here!)

How great is "Breaking Bad"? So great that even though I haven't seen season three yet, I don't mind watching the trailer below. They can spoil it as much as they want and I know that the plot-packed series will always pay dividends when I sit down and watch it (though those sensitive to at least season three spoilers should probably seek entertainment elsewhere today). Never mind that Walter White (Bryan Cranston) is the most dynamic character on television, bar none.

When "Breaking Bad" first came on the air, I wondered how it could possibly last. After all, the premise revolves around a high school chemistry teacher who learns he has cancer and decides to sell meth to make as much money for his family as he can before he dies.

The outcome seemed pretty binary - either he dies, and the series is over, or he gets better and stops selling meth. I never anticipated that he'd become addicted to the business, never expected that his decision would be a self-perpetuating from which he's unable to extract himself. And in that way, the series has become so much more interesting than even its intriguing premise would allow.

While this is getting all of you pumped for an epic fourth season, I'm still on the edge of my seat to see everything that the third (on on DVD June 6th) has in store. "Breaking Bad" returns to the airwaves on July 17th at 10pm, and if you need to get caught up, AMC has you covered there as well. Beginning June 20th, the entire third season will be available On Demand.

Need even more than that? Well, it'll take some dedication, but you can catch every episode from the first three seasons starting late nights on July 5th. AMC wants to make sure you see the show no matter what.

Once again, here is the trailer for the fourth season, which will comprise of 13 one-hour episodes.
