“The Affair” (8 p.m., 9:40 p.m., 12:30 a.m., Showtime): The title may be somewhat generic, but this splendidly acted TV drama earned critical kudos and multiple Golden Globe Awards during its five-season run, with both Maura Tierney and original leading lady Ruth Wilson picking up trophies along the way.

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” (7 p.m., 9:30 p.m., Bravo): Kenya Moore is back and bolder than ever as this hit reality season returns for Season 12.

Elsewhere, fan favorite NeNe Leakes has returned to her husband, who is now cancer-free.

Inevitably, Belinda and Dustin rekindle some sparks, but how will he feel when he finds out Belinda’s hidden agenda for coming back home?

“Always and Forever Christmas” (7 p.m., 11:01 p.m., Lifetime): After Lucy Bowers (Lexi Lawson), a brand marketing profession­al, inherits her grandfathe­r’s year-round Christmas store in Stowe, Vt., she decides to return home to support the business during its final big holiday season, after which she’ll sell the store to a leisurewea­r company.

“90 Day Fiancé” (7 p.m., 11 p.m., TLC): This hit series opens Season 7 with a new assortment of couples, all of whom have fallen in love and gotten engaged, but now must tie the knot before the foreign beloved has to return home.

The culinary fun begins in tonight’s premiere, “Bang for Your Buck,” as host Giada De Laurentiis welcomes the six chefs and challenges them to take a low-cost item and transform it into a memorable Thanksgivi­ng appetizer. For the dinner round, the chefs must create a Thanksgivi­ng meal that includes an inexpensiv­e turkey item.
