Curb Your Enthusiasm – Sunday, October 24

After a lengthy hiatus, Larry David is back with a new season of absurdity and meta-nonsense with new guest stars, more awkward interactions, and more than likely a fair share of meme-able moments. Curb Your Enthusiasm returns Sunday, October 24 at 10:40/9:40c on HBO.

All American – Monday, October 25

The much-beloved CW drama is back and ready to deal with the aftermath of the state championship — the prospect of signing day approaching, Spencer coming to terms with the fallout of what happened with Coop and Layla, and big decisions looming on the horizon that need to be made. All American returns Monday, October 25 at 8/7c on The CW.

Episode Description: After the earth-shattering events of the Beverly and Crenshaw State Championship, Spencer (Daniel Ezra) also needs to come to terms what happened with Coop (Bre-Z) and Layla (Greta Onieogou).

Meanwhile, Billy (Taye Diggs) struggles to forgive Spencer about helping Jordan (Michael Evans Behling).

4400 – Monday, October 25

The popular sci-fi drama series is getting a refreshed perspective on the series as four thousand four hundred forty-four people that disappeared over the last century return without any explanation as to how or why. 4400 debuts Monday, October 25 at 9/8c on The CW.

Series Description: Over the last century at least four thousand four hundred people who were overlooked, undervalued, or otherwise marginalized vanished without a trace off the face of the planet. Last night, inexplicably, they were all returned in an instant to Detroit having not aged a day and with no memory of what happened to them. As the government races to understand the phenomenon, analyze the potential threat, and contain the story, Jharrel, an empathetic social worker, and Keisha (Ireon Roach), a hardened community corrections officer, are among the civil servants called upon to deal with the uncanny refugees. The new partners clash in ideology and approach, but gradually find they have more in common than they thought as they become familiar with those under their care, including Shanice, a lawyer and resilient young mother from the early aughts, whose unexpected reunion with her estranged husband Logan and suddenly teenaged daughter Mariah is immediately rocky; Andre, a WWI Army surgeon fresh from the Harlem Renaissance; Claudette, an influential hidden figure from the Mississippi civil rights movement; Isaiah “Rev” Johnston, a black sheep reverend-scion born to a notable televangelist family in 1990s Chicago; LaDonna, a seemingly shallow but misunderstood D-list reality TV star from Miami, circa 2015; and two wildly different unaccompanied teens, Mildred, a vibrant girl, whose bell bottoms give away her 1970s upbringing, and Hayden, an introspective, prescient boy, whose origin remains a mystery. These unwilling time travelers, collectively the 4400, must grapple with their impossible new reality, the fact that they’ve been returned with a few…upgrades, and the increasing likelihood that they were brought back now for a reason they’re only beginning to understand
