Sunday

CNN continues its re-imaging project with the launch of "Stroumboulopoulos" (9 p.m., CNN), a new talk show hosted by Canada's George Stroumboulopoulos. The only person not excited about the new program is George Stephanopoulos, who is suffering from "vowel envy."

Monday

In "King & Maxwell" (9 p.m., TNT), Jon Tenney and Rebecca Romijn play ex-Secret Service agents who manage to solve rough cases and punch out bad guys, both without messing up their perfect hair. If you like TNT's other crime dramas, you'll be hooked.

Tuesday

If you find teenagers spending extra time on Twitter this evening, it's because "Pretty Little Liars" (7 p.m., ABC Family), one of TV's most social-media friendly shows, is back. The girls are still trying to figure out who the manipulative and mysterious "A" is. Anyone else think it's Amanda Bynes?

Wednesday

Ben Affleck will have to clear out some space in his trophy case. He's being honored as "Guy of the Year" on "Guys Choice 2013" (8 p.m., Spike). Other honorees include Jimmy Kimmel, Kevin Hart, Emilia Clarke and the buddy who picked up the bar tab last time you went out.

Thursday

The always reliable Ken Jeong adds energy to the season premiere of "Sullivan & Son" (9 p.m., TBS) by playing a dull doctor who loosens up a little too much after a couple of beers and swears he's going to hunt down that monkey from "The Hangover."
