Fall TV is almost back completely in order with tonight’s premiere. Here’s everything to watch on Sunday, Oct. 20 across the big five broadcast networks.

Yes, it is all about the premiere of The Equalizer season 5. It’s a premiere we have all been waiting for, as we love to see Queen Latifah back in the action. As much as I’m salty about CBS cancelling one particular show (save NCIS: Hawaii!), I will support these female-led shows like The Equalizer, Matlock, and Elsbeth with everything I have.

More Tracker, Hocus Pocus, and much more

For ABC, Sundays have become about family movies, and this week it’s Hocus Pocus. This is the original movie, which saw NCIS’s Sean Murray as Thackary Binks. Poor Binks! We see three witches who want to be young forever, but that meals stealing the lives of children. Well, in 1693, the townspeople won’t let witches live. What about in 1993?

If you’re in the mood for a crime drama, CBS starts the night with Tracker. This episode sees Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles back as Russell Shaw, who turns up because his little brother is in trouble. Yes, Russell really is Dean Winchester, and there’s no way of getting around that!

For those who are into sports, it’s the usual on NBC. It’s all about Sunday Night Football, and tonight sees the Jets at the Steelers. With all the changes that the Jets have made recently, it will be interesting to see if they can finally win a game this season.
