WEEKLY PLANNER (OCTOBER 30 - NOVEMBER 5)

As usual, Cozi TV will celebrate Halloween with a marathon of The Munsters, but as a twist they'll also have the feature film Munster Go Home included in that lineup this year.
Of course, if you like the show that The Munsters is always compared to, you can always catch The Addams Family 24/7 on the dedicated channel on Pluto TV.
Antenna TV used to feature marathons of Bewitched and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch for Halloween, but this year, they'll only have Bewitched on Sunday while new sister channel Rewind TV will feature Sabrina, the Teenage Witch all weekend long.
The HBO Max Head of the Class reboot debuts on Thursday.
If you're looking for a new animated adult comedy series to watch, there is Fairfax on Amazon Prime Video.
Judge Judy is back, with Judy Justice, which will debut Monday on IMDb TV.
