TV tonight: 'Walking Dead' is back, 'Insecure'

The Simpsons
Fox, 8 ET/PT

We all know the journalistic world is in turmoil — we just didn’t know the troubles would reach the seemingly untouchable Kent Brockman. But they have, and for help he’s turning to Dan Rather, who lends his voice to this latest Simpsons.

The Walking Dead
AMC, 9 ET/PT

Cable’s most popular series returns for a seventh season with a big question: Who did Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan kill in the sixth-season finale? (Assuming he did kill someone, of course, and that the seemingly deadly beating with a barbed-wire bat wasn’t another one of Dead’s fake cliffhangers.) As usual, you can watch it all play out on Walking and then hear it rehashed on Talking Dead (AMC, 10 ET/PT), a show that has probably inspired more copycat series than Walking.

Insecure
HBO, 10:30 ET/PT

This terrific new comedy takes a closer look at how race plays into the way we view ourselves and each other. Issa (the fabulous Issa Rae, who co-created the show with Larry Wilmore), is determined to make up for a mistake at work, even though she feels she’s being judged more harshly for it than her white co-workers would have been. And Molly (Yvonne Orji) is offering up some judgments of her own to a fellow black employee who, she says, needs to “switch it up.”
