🛋️ Monday TV Guide: November 3, 2025 — From Holiday Bakes to Football Fumbles

Welcome back to another week of couch-bound adventures, snack-fueled emotions, and “just one more episode” decisions. Monday night is no slouch in the lineup department — we’ve got spinoffs, showdowns, sugary chaos, and yes, even a Tracy Morgan takeover. Here’s your TV survival guide for tonight, November 3.

🌙 Early Risers & Insomniacs (3:00 AM ET)

“Crutch” — Series Premiere (Paramount+)

Get ready for a “Neighborhood” spinoff that’s anything but quiet suburbia. Tracy Morgan stars as Calvin Butler’s loudmouthed cousin, a Harlem shop owner whose life flips upside down when his grown kids boomerang home. Family drama meets big laughs — and Morgan’s doing what Morgan does best: causing trouble with love.

“Dr. Seuss’s The Sneetches” — Netflix Movie Premiere

Dr. Seuss goes full sing-along mode with this sweet, beachy musical about unlikely friendship between two young Sneetches. Expect colorful animation, toe-tapping tunes, and a heartwarming message that’ll hit both kids and nostalgic adults right in the feels.

“The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Holiday” — Series Premiere (The Roku Channel)

Celebs like Baron Davis, Cheri Oteri, Oliver Hudson, and Janelle James trade their scripts for spatulas in a series that’s basically “The Great British Bake Off” meets chaotic improv night. Sugar, sabotage, and showbiz egos — a perfect recipe for reality TV bliss.

“In Waves and War” — Netflix

A deeply human doc that follows three ex–Navy SEALs finding peace through psychedelic-assisted therapy. It’s intense, emotional, and a reminder that healing doesn’t always look how you expect.

“Murder Before Eversong” — Season Finale (Acorn TV)

Secrets spill, traps are set, and Clement faces some very messy moral math. If you’ve been following this British mystery, brace yourself — it’s finale night, and double-crosses are on the dessert menu.

🏀 Evening Kickoff (7:00 PM ET)

“Peacock NBA Monday” (Peacock)

The Minnesota Timberwolves take on the Brooklyn Nets. Expect flashy dunks, questionable calls, and at least one meme-worthy coach reaction before halftime.

🍸 Prime Time Mayhem (8:00 PM ET)

“Below Deck Mediterranean” (Bravo)

Stormy seas, shifty romances, and a crew dynamic that’s sinking faster than their tip pool. A sudden weather shift throws everyone overboard (figuratively… mostly).

“Finding Mr. Christmas” (Hallmark Channel)

Hot guys, reindeer costumes, and gift-launching competitions — yes, it’s another Hallmark holiday fever dream. Expect flirty teamwork and more twinkle lights than a Vegas wedding.

“Holiday Baking Championship” — Season Premiere (Food Network)

Nice vs. Naughty? A dozen new bakers build edible holiday villages while testing the limits of frosting physics. Someone’s gingerbread house will collapse, and we’ll all pretend to be surprised.

“Name That Tune” (FOX)

Chris Harrison battles Adrienne Bailon-Houghton in the most random matchup of the week. Cue the dramatic buzzer and a whole lot of ‘80s nostalgia.

“The Neighborhood” (CBS)

Tracy Morgan’s crossover moment! Calvin’s cousin drops by to “help” with a renovation, which means chaos, sawdust, and Morgan-level mayhem. Expect a laugh track that’s fully earned.

“St. Denis Medical” — Season 2 Premiere (NBC)

Two back-to-back episodes bring chaos to the hospital halls. Alex wants peace, Joyce wants her birthing center to not look like a Pinterest fail, and the guest-star lineup (Draymond Green! Lauren Lapkus!) is wild enough to warrant a checkup.

🏈 Sports Corner (8:15 PM ET)

“Monday Night Football” (ABC & ESPN)

Cardinals vs. Cowboys. Expect drama, questionable plays, and at least one “Taylor Swift in the stands?” cutaway even if she’s not there.

💥 Late Night Drama (8:30–10:00 PM ET)

“DMV” (8:30 PM, CBS)

Nothing says comedy like pretending you don’t work at the DMV. Colette’s lie spirals faster than a waiting-room number queue.

“Baked With Love: Holiday” (9:00 PM, Hallmark Channel)

Cookie wreaths, tree cakes, and full-on frosting meltdowns. It’s sugar-fueled chaos and pure Hallmark comfort food.

“Celebrity Weakest Link” (9:00 PM, FOX)

Football stars swap the field for the hot seat — and it turns out trivia might be the toughest opponent yet. Expect roasts, fumbles, and charity checks.

“FBI” (9:00 PM, CBS)

A senator, a plane, and one very bad day. OA and Maggie escort a political target mid-flight, and things go south faster than a free drink cart.

“The Voice” (9:00 PM, NBC)

The Knockouts continue — with Zac Brown and Joe Walsh as mentors. Because nothing says “finding your voice” like getting advice from rock legends.

🧠 Late-Night Thrills (10:00 PM ET)

“Brilliant Minds” (NBC)

Dr. Wolf’s past comes knocking, and the lab drama heats up. Brainpower meets emotional turmoil — just how we like it.

“Watson” (CBS)

Tornado survivors show up with mysterious infections that scream “flesh-eating bacteria,” and the team’s racing the clock. Gross, gripping, and gloriously TV.

🍿 Final Take: Monday’s Must-Watch

If you’re craving chaos, Below Deck Med brings the waves. Want something wholesome? The Sneetches will warm your heart. And for those who like a little danger with their dessert — Holiday Baking Championship is back to feed your drama sweet tooth.

So grab the remote, preheat your popcorn, and settle in — because Monday night TV is serving up everything but chill.
