WEEKLY PLANNER (MARCH 30 - APRIL 6)

The final season of Veep debuts tomorrow night on HBO, but before that, you can catch a marathon of the previous seasons on HBO2 starting today at 5 PM.
The second season of Barry also debuts tomorrow night, and a marathon of that will wrap up just before the Veep marathon starts.
Although it isn't clear why they are doing it two weekends in a row, Decades has a binge of Hunter again this weekend.
Saturday Night Live returns with a new episode tonight, featuring Sandra Oh and Tame Impala.
For those who have been missing Night Court on Laff, it returns Monday morning with two episodes every weekday at 9 AM, although it seems Grounded for Life is now gone.
