| Billions |
[*Carl Sagan voice*] Billions and billions! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, October 29!
Our Top Pick tonight is the series finale of Billions (Showtime, 8 p.m.). Um, that show was still around? Indeed it was. (We say that a lot about Showtime shows.) This drama started out as a feud between U.S. Attorney Paul Giamatti and hedge fund manager/philanthropist Damian Lewis and was inspired by various real-life federal prosecutions of financial crime. 7 seasons later, Lewis is running for president and Giamatti is still after him. I think? I bailed after season 2.
Elsewhere, The Simpsons makes a documentary ("Treehouse of Horror" is next week), David Oyelowo lays down the law, 60 Minutes talk to the Veep, there's a party in Krapopolis, we live in a Gilded Age again, Discovery goes to The Garden, Fright Fight finds a winner, and video games Built America.

Some groups, led by Olenzie, formally known as Olentzero II and son of the great General Olentzero of the War of the First Noel, decide they will celebrate their nation's birthday.
