What’s on TV This Week: ‘Seth Meyers: Dad Man Walking’ and Spooky Movies

For those who still enjoy a cable subscription, here is a selection of cable and network TV shows, movies and specials that broadcast this week, Oct. 21-27 Details and times are subject to change.

Monday

POPPA’S HOUSE 8:30 p.m. on CBS. The father-son duo Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. (who have previously played father and son on the show “Happy Endings”) are back together for a new comedy about a divorced radio host, Poppa (Wayans). He has his views challenged when he starts working with a new female co-host, and is also trying to communicate effectively with his adult son (Wayans Jr.).

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS 10 p.m. on FX. The streets are lined with spooky décor, Spirit Halloween is popping up at every corner and there is a crisp in the air. That can only mean one thing — it’s time to welcome back everyone’s favorite Staten Island-dwelling vampires for the sixth and final season of this faux-documentary show.

Tuesday

POLTERGEIST (1982) 8 p.m. on AMC. First vampires, now paranormal activity. Everything is peachy keen with this California family until ghosts start communicating with them through the television screen. When their daughter Carol Ann (Heather O’Rourke) goes missing, her family seeks out a parapsychologist and exorcist to help find her.

THE EXORCIST (1973) 10:30 p.m. on AMC. Speaking of exorcism — this movie teaches us that if you find your child possessed by the devil, it’s going to be a real hassle to undo. “It establishes a new low for grotesque special effects, all of which, I assume, have some sort of religious approval since two Jesuit priests, who are listed as among the film’s technical advisers, also appear in the film as actors,” Vincent Canby wrote in his review for The New York Times.
