Penny Dreadful: It’s a graveyard smash!

Here’s what’s up in the world of television for Sunday, May 11. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
Penny Dreadful (Showtime, 10 p.m.): Screenwriter John Logan was working in his office, late one night, when he and Sam Mendes decided to give TV viewers a fright. Calling upon the all-stars of Victorian horror, the two threw a little party—a monster party, if you will. Could such a gathering truly take place? After reading initial reports from Sonia Saraiya, Scott Von Doviak was skeptical—but then monsters from Logan’s notepad appeared before his eyes.
AND SUDDENLY, TO HIS SURPRISE
ALSO NOTED
Once Upon A Time (ABC, 8 p.m.): Season three ends with a two-hour finale, which Gwen Ihnat reports is roughly eight minutes longer than the 1939 version of The Wizard Of Oz and a startling 44 minutes longer than Disney’s Peter Pan. (Who knew Peter Pan was only 76 minutes long—with barely enough content for a half-hour timeslot if you cut out all of the racist stuff!)
Revenge (ABC, 10 p.m.): Can Revenge put a happy ending on the comeback story detailed in Joshua Alston’s full-season review? Can it get its own REEEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENGE? Carrie Raisler will tell all, after a breathtaking in media res cold open.
Rosemary’s Baby (NBC, 10 p.m.): Since the original novel in ’67, this spooky tale has been hellish heaven. Thrill as Zoe Saldana, Patrick J. Adams, and a Satanic Jason Isaacs invite Zack Handlen into their Parisian abode.
