1) World Series, 8:07 p.m. ET, Fox; pre-game at 7:30. The fourth game of the best-of-seven series has the Houston Astros in Washington, D.C. (shown here) — a place that’s not used to this. Teams were based in Washington during 85 previous seasons, but they only reached the Series three times … most recently in 1933. Until this year, only 10 Series games had been played in Washington – four in 1924 (when the Senators won their only championship) and three each in ’25 and ’33. Now the Nationals are having their turn.
2) “Saturday Night Live,” 11:29 p.m., NBC. Chance the Rapper has hosted “SNL” once and was the music guest three times. Now comes his first time doing both.
3) “NCIS: New Orleans,” 8 p.m., CBS. In a rerun, a military wife has been contacted by her ex-boyfriend, who’s on the FBI’s most-wanted list. Gregorio (Vanessa Ferlito) goes undercover, joining the wives’ club.
4) “Oprah Winfrey at Home With Lupita Nyong’o and Cynthia Erivo,” 8 p.m., Oprah Winfrey Network. Here are two thriving actresses from overseas: Erivo, who’s from England, plays Harriet Tubman in a movie opening Friday (Nov. 1); Nyong’o – born in Mexico, raised in Kenya – has her next “Star Wars” film arriving Dec. 20.
5) “Zombies” (2018), 8:25 p.m., Disney. It’s tough to be the new kid in school if you also happen to be different. In this movie, zombies are transferred from their own high school to a rigid, suburban one.
