The second season of Barry also debuts tomorrow night, and a marathon of that will wrap up just before the Veep marathon starts.

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.
