‘The Exorcist’ kicks off returning TV favorites

The fall TV season has gotten off to an uneven start. “Star Trek: Discovery,” a quality sci-fi space adventure show, debuted on CBS, while “The Orville,” a lousy Star Trek-homage/dramedy, has stunk up Fox.
Unfortunately all of the remaining episodes of “Star Trek: Discovery” will air on subscription video-on-demand service CBS All Access, to which I don’t plan to subscribe.
There aren’t many new shows I’m interested in, but I have a bunch of returning favorites, starting with the season-two premiere of “The Exorcist” on Fox tonight.
Season one was surprisingly good and scary. It also served as a fine sequel to the classic 1973 movie “The Exorcist.”
Other shows on my watch list include season 13 of “Supernatural” on the CW, premiering Oct. 12; season eight of “The Walking Dead” on AMC, premiering Oct. 22; and season two of “Stranger Things” on Netflix, available Oct. 27.
Yes, I'm a fan of science-fiction, horror and fantasy shows.
