TV Worth Watching

"Modern Family" (Wednesday on ABC at 9 p.m.)Yes, it's that spooktacular time of year when every show has a special Halloween episode. You can read a full lineup of which shows are dressing up for the occasion, but keep an eye on ABC's "Modern Family" and NBC's "Superstore" to do the job right. The October 26 "Modern Family" episode is called "Halloween 4: The Revenge of Rod Skyhook," and it seems to have a superhero theme, with Cameron and Mitchell dressed as Batman and Robin (and Sofia Vergara's Gloria as Wonder Woman). Over on "Superstore" the October 27 "Employee Theft" episode has Dina (Lauren Ash) launching a store-wide investigation after an apparent theft, throwing a wrench in everyone's Halloween plans.

"Tracey Ullman's Show" (Friday on HBO at 11 p.m.)
"One comedian, countless characters. Discover the many faces of Tracey Ullman." Start your discovery with this HBO preview, which includes Ullman as "National Treasure" Dame Judi Dench, who secretly likes to key cars (knew it):"Years of Living Dangerously: A Race Against Time" (Sunday on National Geographic Channel at 8 p.m.)
Season 2 of National Geographic Channel's Emmy award-winning documentary series premieres October 30 before moving to its regular timeslot Wednesdays at 10 p.m., starting November 2.
In his first TV project since retiring from "The Late Show," David Letterman travels to India to find out what the world's soon-to-be most populous country is going to do to expand its inadequate energy grid. Meanwhile, "Saturday Night Live" cast member Cecily Strong travels to Florida and Nevada to investigate what's blocking the growth of solar energy in the U.S. More Season 2 correspondents include Jack Black, Gisele Bündchen, Ty Burrell, Don Cheadle, America Ferrera, Thomas Friedman, Joshua Jackson, David Letterman, Aasif Mandvi, Nikki Reed, executive producer Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ian Somerhalder, Cecily Strong, Sigourney Weaver, and Bradley Whitford.

"The Great Indoors" (Thursday on CBS at 8:30 p.m.)
CBS just can't get enough of Gen X vs. Millennials. That's the theme of the current (really good) season of "Survivor" and also the theme of Joel McHale's new sitcom. He plays Jack, who usually travels the world for Outdoor Limits, but gets a new assignment from the magazine's owner (played by Stephen Fry), keeping him chained to a desk supervising a team of millennial writers at the now web-only publication. It's such a cliché for each older generation to mock the younger, so hopefully the strong cast -- which also includes Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Christine Ko -- can rise above the stereotypes.
