HBO just announced a bunch of dates for new and returning shows, and without further ado: "Game of Thrones" is back April 1; "VEEP," the Julia Louis-Dreyfus polycom (political comedy, just coined the word, hope you don't mind) is out April 22; and the film that takes on Sarah Palin, "Game Change," arrives March 10. Plus this: Lena Dunham's comedy "Girls" arrives April 15. That should be interesting indeed because her "Tiny Furniture" was such an indie-prod sensation.
