Fan favorites return to TV this Friday

Look who’s back:

Once Upon a Time” (Sunday, 8 p.m., ABC)
We last left everyone in this far-fetched fairy tale being returned to their own worlds, courtesy of the Evil Queen’s (Lana Parrilla) curse that placed Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and Henry (Jared S. Gilmore) back in the real world (with convenient cases of amnesia). Fortunately, the best part of this show, the roguish Captain Hook (Colin O’Donoghue), decided that the (fantasy) world is not enough, so his visit to Emma should jog a few memories, plus perhaps a few more feelings. Also returning is the even fairier tale spinoff “Once Upon a Time in Wonderland” (Thursday, 8 p.m., ABC), in which Alice (Sophie Lowe) and genie Cyrus (Peter Gadiot) have to team up with the Red Queen (Emma Rigby) to rescue the Knave (Michael Socha) as they fight Jafar (Naveen Andrews) for the Queen’s castle.

Bones” (Monday, 8 p.m., Fox)
The crime solver returns from its Friday -night graveyard shift as Booth (David Boreanaz) teams up with a CIA agent, played by a handsomely graying Freddie Prinze Jr., after one of his informants surfaces from a watery grave. Unsurprisingly, Brennan’s (Emily Deschanel) latest bug up her butt — the cost of her life insurance — reflects in the current case.

Revenge” (Sunday, 10 p.m., ABC)
They claim the return in a later timeslot is because the Hamptonites are getting edgier, but Mama suspects it has more to do with this sagging soap opera’s ratings than any Puritan sensibilities about what should air at 9 p.m. And so, Emily’s (Emily VanCamp) memory loss and subsequent blackouts continue to draw out her reeeally long con to take down the Graysons. Of course, if the convoluted vengeance plan ever actually succeeds, what’s left for the show? Mama would tune in to see the regally vicious Victoria (Madeleine Stowe) applying for a job as the Grayson family recovers from financial ruin.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars” (Friday, Netflix)
With the sixth and final “Lost Missions” season landing at Netflix, this really good animated saga can finally tie up the loose ends left behind when the series ended its run on Cartoon Network — as well as answering a few questions that the “Star Wars” movie prequels never bothered to address. Such as: If Yoda was so freakin’ powerful with the Force, why did he go into hiding? It could have something to do with the dead Qui-Gon, who’ll be voiced once again by Liam Neeson.
