Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Sunday, October 14. All times are Eastern.
TOP PICK
The Walking Dead (AMC, 9 p.m.): At last, Rick and the gang seem to have found sanctuary in the unlikeliest of places: An abandoned prison that, at the very least, ought to inspire a few hours of claustrophobic scares—before everyone starts getting comfortable and the pacing of the series slackens and Zack Handlen starts to feel like he’s in a prison of his own. How ya like that for symbolism?
REGULAR COVERAGE
The Thick Of It (Hulu, 5 p.m.): The Thick Of It catches up with the biggest controversy to go down during its hiatus: the News Of The World phone-hacking scandal. David Sims looks forward to being attacked with a pie of hilarity.
Once Upon A Time (ABC, 8 p.m.): Emma and Mary Margaret’s adventures through the fairy tale realm continue. Oliver Sava’s advice: Don’t eat any apples of any variety.
Call The Midwife (PBS, 8 p.m.): Jenny befriends an elderly veteran, and Call The Midwife would like to know when you last called your grandparents. Brandon Nowalk can wait for you to do so.
Revenge (ABC, 9 p.m.): Everything has two faces on Revenge—even a title like “Confidence” is loaded with multiple meanings. See if you can come up with a greater number of interpretations than Carrie Raisler.
The Good Wife (CBS, 9 p.m.): Dear The Good Wife: If you’re going to push the current Kalinda subplot to extremes, please avoid calling future installments anything remotely close to “Two Girls, One Code.” The moment an hour with the name “Tub Girl” comes down the pike, David Sims is bolting.
