This week’s TV highlights
Sunday
‘Sarah Silverman,’ 9:30 p.m., Comedy Central — The new season of the acerbic comic is under way, and in this season’s episodes, she’ll discover marijuana and sue the entire country of Mongolia for rape. This gal is a mess.
‘Mad Men,’ 9 and 10 p.m., AMC — Don Draper (John Hamm) makes new friends on a trip to Los Angeles, while Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) becomes romantically inclined. The most addictive, nicotine-laden show on television.
Monday
‘My Own Worst Enemy,’ 9 p.m. on NBC — Christian Slater stars as Henry/Edward, a highly conflicted guy. One side of him is average; the other side is top-secret. It’s all related to his being part of a government spy program, and his life gets quite complicated. Alfre Woodard co-stars.
Tuesday
‘Eli Stone,’ 9 p.m. on ABC — Jonny Lee Miller is a charmer as a San Francisco lawyer who ‘sees things.’ And it’s good to see this show back on the air for a second season.
Wednesday
‘Atonement,’ 7:30 p.m. on HBO — This multiple Oscar nominee from 2007 focuses on a young woman who falsely accuses her sister’s lover of a crime. Keira Knightley, who can be seen in theaters in ‘The Duchess,’ stars in a tale based on the Ian McEwan novel.
Presidential Debate, 8 p.m., PBS, ABC, NBC, CBS — The third and final debate between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain is held at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y.
Thursday
‘True Blood,’ 9 p.m., HBO — This Louisiana-based series about a young woman who can read people’s minds and her vampire boyfriend is one of the quirkiest ever. Created by Alan Ball of ‘Six Feet Under.’ If you haven’t given it a try, now might be the time. Oscar winner Anna Paquin stars.
