The horror! The horror!

Sarah Paulson screams more in the early episodes of "American Horror Story: Cult" than she did in all previous seasons of the anthology series combined, and with good reason: Twisty the Clown, played by Twin Cities theater favorite John Carroll Lynch, is back.

9 p.m., FX

Won't you be my neighbor?

For five years, "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" has kept Fred Rogers' spirit alive and well, offering life lessons through animated versions of new and old characters from the block. In a new episode, "King Daniel for the Day," our curious tiger learns that ruling the kingdom can be a lot more comfortable if you reign with kindness, a lesson that apparently was lost on most of the characters on "Game of Thrones." If only Mr. Rogers and Daniel had lived in Winterfell.

9:30 a.m., TPT, Ch. 2

Beyond the cafeteria

Those planning on traveling with the Minnesota Gophers football team this season may be wise to pack a few suggestions offered in "Campus Eats," in which former University of Illinois team captain Joe Spencer snacks across the conference with stops in Champaign and Evanston, Ill.; Madison, Wis.; and Lincoln, Neb.

9 p.m., Big Ten Network
