With so much to watch on TV, it can be difficult to plan ahead. But we’re here to help! Here are the five shows you won’t want to miss this week.

The Leisure Class: Monday, Nov. 2 at 9 p.m. on HBO
Despite all the behind-the-scenes battles, will the fourth Project Greenlight feature be the best in the show’s history? Considering the flicks that Jason Mann’s debut is up against — the less than auspicious trio of Stolen Summer, The Battle of Shaker Heights and Feast — that’s not necessarily much of a challenge.

Best Time Ever: Tuesday, Nov. 3 at 8 p.m. on NBC
Neil Patrick Harris’s modern-day version of an old school variety show airs its season finale with special guests Kelsey Grammer and the Backstreet Boys. Since this may be his, ahem, Last Show Ever, you just know that NPH is gonna pull out all the stops.

Elementary: Thursday, Nov. 5 at 10 p.m. on CBS
While you’re waiting to ring in the New Year with England’s own Sherlock and Watson — Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman — their American-employed cousins (Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu) will happily and skillfully solve crimes for your entertainment.

Master of None: Friday, Nov. 6 on Netflix
Wasting little time after the end of Parks and Recreation, Aziz Ansari launches an all-new series, this time playing a thirtysomething actor confronting employment and relationship issues. Maybe he should open a restaurant?

Getting On: Sunday, Nov. 8 at 10 p.m. on HBO
The critically-acclaimed HBO comedy (and Gillian Jacobs’s favorite show) about life, death and getting older returns for its final six-episode season. Savor it before its gone… but the good news is that it will live forever on HBO Go/Now.
