TV THIS WEEK: 'The Movie Show' and G4 on SYFY; World Beyond finale; new Mandalorian

By Trent Moore
The Movie Show SYFY

This week brings the season finale of The Walking Dead spinoff World Beyond, a new Star Trek: Discovery, a new Mandalorian, and a fresh new SYFY series where our favorite smack-talking puppets dig into the movies we all know and love. Oh, and video game network G4 is also making a holiday-themed return!

The latest installment in The Mandalorian looks to continue on the search for a Jedi to help with The Child; while Discovery is continuing to unravel the future-altering mystery of The Burn. On SYFY, we have a preview of the puppet movie talk show (yep, you read that correctly!) The Movie Show; plus the G4 Holiday Reunion event. If you're looking for some traditional Thanksgiving programming, NBC is airing the 94th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Digging deeper, there are also plenty of great movies to fill in the gaps this week, with Aquaman, Venom, Elf, Smallfoot, and Slither on the schedule this week. There's also some kid-friendly holiday programming, such as Illumination Presents Minions Holiday Special on NBC, and a new Hell Den on SYFY'S TZGZ animation block.

Check out the full rundown below and let us know what you'll be watching.
