TV best bets with returns of 'Game of Thrones,' 'Veep,' 'Nurse Jackie'

Otherwise, it's a pretty quiet week. MTV's annual movie awards comes back Sunday with Shailene Woodley taking home a Trailblazer Award. AMC's "Breaking Bad" prequel "Better Call Saul" wraps up a successful season one Monday. And Bravo takes us back in time by resurrecting Bethenny Frankel on "The Real Housewives of New York" the same night.

And if you miss "Empire," SNL will surely do a parody since Taraji P Henson is host.
