This week’s TV picks
Nathan Fillion stars in “Castle.”
Monday:
‘So You Think You Can Dance’ 7 p.m., FOX: The top 20 dancers are introduced. That’s 40 feet, if my math is correct.
‘Castle’ 9 p.m., ABC: This show hops onto the vampire bandwagon when a victim wearing fake fangs is discovered in a cemetery with a stake through his heart.
Tuesday:
‘It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown’ 7 p.m., CBS: Charlie goes to a Halloween party, Snoopy battles the Red Baron and poor Linus waits in the pumpkin patch for the titular spirit in this holiday classic.
‘The Forgotten’ 9 p.m., ABC: It’s a dog. Yes, the show, but also a key canine character who keeps watch over an unidentified dead man’s grave.
Wednesday:
‘Monsters vs. Aliens: Mutant Pumpkins from Outer Space’ 7 p.m., NBC: This animated feature film spin-off finds the movie’s characters battling space aliens disguised as pumpkins.
‘Modern Family’ 8 p.m., ABC: I don’t know how it can be the first day of school when last week’s episode had a school-centric plot, but I don’t care as long this show keeps being laugh out loud funny.
Thursday:
‘The Office’ 8 p.m., NBC: Dundler Mifflin Scranton organizes a haunted house for community kids. As if that place isn’t normally scary enough (and like you’d let your kids anywhere near it).
‘The Austin Daytripper’ 9:30 p.m., PBS: Host Chet Garner and crew hit Shiner by way of Luling and Gonzales. Shiner’s his last stop? I think what we really want to see here is the ride back home.
Friday:
‘Ghost Whisperer’ 7 p.m., CBS: The headless horseman from Washington Irving’s ‘Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ comes to life. I’m starting to think I’d better go get our Halloween candy soon.
‘Ghost Adventures Live’ 7 p.m., TRAVEL: The gang spends 7 hours locked inside a West Virgina lunatic asylum. Yeah, Halloween candy.
Saturday:
‘Austin City Limits’ 7 p.m., PBS: Don’t blink or you’ll miss me in the audience for M. Ward’s awesome set. Also appearing: Okkervil River.
‘The Addams Family’ 2 p.m., WGN: Enjoy an 8-hour marathon of the creepy, mysterious, ooky, spooky family perfect for Halloween night.
Sunday:
‘Food Network Challenge’ 7 p.m., FOOD: Four designers create cakes based on ‘The Simpsons.’ Mmmmmm … cake. Voice of Lisa Simpson Yeardley Smith judges, and you know she’s a stickler.
‘Mad Men’ 9 p.m., AMC: Peggy’s taste in men proves questionable. Yeah, no kidding: first she hooks up with Pete Campbell and then, a few weeks ago, Duck Phillips. Who could she possibly be with now that would provoke this episode description —Achilles the maintenance man?
