The Blacklist
Thursday at 9 p.m. on
KGW, KOBI
In the course of trying to help
clear Liz (Megan Boone), Red
(James Spader) seeks “The
Djinn” ... the title of this new
episode, and also the identity
of a woman who helps oth-
ers live out their scenarios
for revenge. To find her, Red
risks giving up his and Liz’s
whereabouts by going to the
task force for assistance, but he
also shows the agents there’s
something in it for them. Harry
Lennix, Ryan Eggold and Amir
Arison also star.
The Simpsons
Sunday at 8 p.m. on KLSR
In this season’s typically surreal
Halloween special “Treehouse
of Horror XXVI,” Sideshow Bob
(voice of Kelsey Grammer) fi-
nally makes good on his oft-re-
peated threat to kill Bart (voice
of Nancy Cartwright), then pro-
ceeds to reanimate the corpse.
In another tale, Homer (voice
of Dan Castellaneta) wakes up
with short-term memory loss,
then, finally, radiation exposure
bestows superpowers on Lisa
(voice of Yeardley Smith), Bart
and Milhouse (voice of Pamela
Hayden).
Wicked City
Thursday at 10 p.m. on KATU,
KEZI
If such shows as “Aquarius”
have you in the mood for
period dramas set sufficiently
but not extremely in the past,
another slice of an earlier Los
Angeles also may appeal. In
this new melodrama, a Sunset
Strip-related murder circa 1982
involves a patchwork of char-
acters — with Erika Christensen
in a role vastly different from
“Parenthood’s” Julia. Jeremy
Sisto, Ed Westwick and Taissa
Farmiga (“American Horror
Story”) also star.
