With nearly 600 scripted shows now airing across broadcast, cable and streaming, it’s easy to forget that a favorite comedy is returning, or that the new “prestige drama” you anticipated is about to debut. So consider this our reminder to set your DVR, order a Season Pass, pop a fresh Memorex into the VCR… however it is you roll.

This week, you’ll find five premieres (including the series debuts of Percy Jackson and the Olympians and Extended Family, and the returns of Dr. Death and What If…?) and a whopping 24 finales (including the very last episodes of Archer and A Murder at the End of the World).

Also on tap: Several high-profile movies (including Bradley Cooper’s Maestro and Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon) and a smattering of specials (including festive editions of LEGO Masters and Password, and birthday salutes to living legends Dick Van Dyke and Willie Nelson).
