All times eastern
A quieter week for television, but there are some popular shows coming back, including Degrassi, The Amazing Race Canada and the Oprah-produced Queen Sugar. Incidentally, this is also a rare week when absolutely all of the late night talk/comedy shows are in reruns (so we’ll have to wait a week for their takes on Trump’s latest Twitter-fit). Happy viewing!
