What's On Tonight (Sunday): Joe Pera is the apple cider of TV shows

Joe Pera Talks with You

Hello out there in TV land! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, November 7!

Tonight's Top Pick is the return of the uber-low key late-night comedy Joe Pera Talks with You (Adult Swim, 12:30 a.m.). It's a show unlike any other with its conversational POV, soft-spoken delivery, and sharp writing. In each episode, Joe walks us through some life task, some special and some routine, which you can see delights him and he genuinely respects your time to listen. The background of local townsfolks and his adorable girlfriend, Jo Firestone.

Elsewhere, Dexter Morgan has the urge to murder again, the Doctor faces Sontarans, Yellowstone is back to torture those with crushes, there's a murder mystery party in The Great North, SEAL Team streams, MSNBC returns to Four Seasons, and Squidbillies still exists
