What's on your HDTV: 'Halo 5,' 'Ash vs. Evil Dead' and the World Series

This week's releases are topped by the arrival of Halo 5: Guardians, complete with the usual midnight releases and excitement. We've been playing it for a few days and while the game is as well-put-together as ever, the real question is if Microsoft's servers can hold up once gamers start filling them up later tonight. We'll see -- and good luck to all. On Tuesday night the World Series kicks off between the Kansas City Royals and New York Mets, while ESPN has a new 30 for 30 about John du Pont. CBS is premiering its new Supergirl series tonight, but we're more excited about Saturday when Bruce Campbell comes back to TV in the role of Ash as Starz premieres Ash vs. Evil Dead. If you need a copy, there's also a new Army of Darkness collector's edition on Blu-ray. Look after the break to check out each day's highlights, including trailers and let us know what you think (or what we missed).
