"October Road" (9 p.m., KOAT-Channel 7) is back.

Yay.

I'd be more excited about a scripted series making an appearance, if that particular show wasn't really, really lame.

"October Road," the drama about a successful writer who returns to his hometown — and the people on whom he based his characters — continues to bore me to tears.

The second season picks up with the residents of Knights Ridge still reeling from the events that rocked their small town.

Everyone is adjusting to the news that Ikey (Evan Jones) was sleeping with the wife of Owen (Brad William Henke).

People have ostracized him, although an offer from Ray "Big Cat" Cataldo (Warren Christie), may provide the safe haven the homewrecker's been looking for.

Nick (Bryan Greenberg) teams up with Eddie (Geoff Stults) to try fetching Owen home from New York.

Then, Nick gets a response from Hannah (Laura Prepon) to him his declaration of undying and nauseating love on her doorstep.

At least it's not a game show.

"The Incredibles" (7 p.m., KOB-Channel 4) is one of those animated films that just makes me happy.

It's smart, funny and just so darn cool.

The tale is set in a slightly futuristic world where superheroes have to hide because they are no longer appreciated by society.

I feel their pain. No one appreciates my superhero power of being able to watch insane amounts of TV without a break, either. I have to hide my gift from others who are j-e-a-l-o-u-s of my awe-inspiring ability.

Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), his wife, Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), and their three fledgling superhero kids must also live a life of boring mediocrity, much to Mr. Incredible's frequent dismay.

When the opportunity suddenly arises for the family to use their powers for good, they seize the day.

Together they have to stop the big baddie, Syndrome (Jason Lee), from unleashing a deadly robot into a city.

It's the kooky characters like the looney fashion designer and the iceman Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson), who make this film super awesome and almost as perfect as "The Little Mermaid."

Happy Thanksgiving!
