Sunday, October 5th

RESURRECTION| 9:00-10:00pm | ABC
By: Dylan Siegman | @Dsiggy15

After last week's HUGE plot twist, I'm still trying to pick up the pieces of my mind because it was so extremely blown. Season 2 started off very strong, so I'm really interested to see where they continue to go with this season. I felt like they didn't use Donna Murphy as much as they should've in the last episode, so hopefully we'll be seeing a lot more of her this time around.

THE GOOD WIFE | 9:00-10:00pm | CBS
By: Rock Bublitz | @WriteRock

The iconic Gloria Steinem makes a cameo in tonight's new episode, "Dear God", when she joins the ranks of real-life guest stars encouraging Alicia to run for State's Attorney. Meanwhile, Cary is out of jail, but only just, as Castro continues his crusade against Florrick/Agos (and Lockhart!).

HOMELAND | 9:00-11:00pm | Showtime
By: Matt Tamanini | @BWWMatt

So, what exactly will a Brody-less HOMELAND look like? Will it get back to more of its Season One roots, when it was one of the best shows on television, or will it continue to spend most of its time on storylines that nobody cares about? I guess we will find out tonight, but either way, we get to see Mandy Patinkin on TV every week, so quit your complaining. I will have a full recap up after the two-hour seson premiere.

REVENGE | 10:00-11:00pm | ABC
By: Matt Tamanini | @BWWMatt

I have to admit that REVENGE has become a little too ridiculous in the last two seasons, but it is still one of my most enjoyable guilty pleasures on TV, if for nothing more than to see what new ways they can make Emily Van Camp look gorgeous each week. After the way last week's episode ended, I am optimistic that the Not-Dead David story will get us back to our red sharpie roots.
