TV Worth Watching

"The Walking Dead" Season 8 (Sunday on AMC at 9 p.m.)
We're goin' to war! "The Walking Dead" returns October 22, and the Season 8 premiere is also the 100th episode of the entire series. Negan and Rick are now engaged in All Out War, which means more action is ahead, and the characters should be sticking together instead of being split into mini groups like last year. Fingers crossed that they've learned some lessons from Season 7 -- and by "they" we don't just mean Team Rick.

"The Exorcist" Season 2 (Friday on FOX at 9 p.m.)
Are you watching this wonderful horror show? Season 2 has been strong so far, with John Cho shining as beleaguered foster father Andy, who's dealing with a possible possession in his family in addition to a visit from home care. Catch up on the show On Demand and join the fun when Episode 4, "One for Sorrow," airs this Friday.

"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" (Thursday on ABC at 8 p.m.)
No Halloween season is complete without this classic. "Grey's Anatomy" is taking this week off, so Linus can await the most sincere pumpkin in the patch, from 8 to 8:30, followed by Woody, Buzz and friends in Toy Story OF TERROR!" from 8:30 to 9.

"John Wick: Chapter 2" (Saturday on HBO at 8 p.m.)
If you're staying in this Saturday, and want something cool to watch before "Saturday Night Live," Keanu Reeves' not-so-retired super-assassin will be on HBO, thinkin' he's back.
