Welcome back to The TV Cave Daily Watchlist — your essential rundown of everything worth watching across primetime, streaming, and the wild world of late-night weirdness.

🌙 OVERNIGHT & EARLY MORNING DROPS (3:00 AM ET)

🍏 Down Cemetery Road — Apple TV (Season 1 Finale)

Sarah’s entire mission comes to a boiling point, and yes — the stakes are as intense as the title suggests. Expect twists. Expect fallout. Expect to yell at your screen.

🎨 Ink Master — Paramount+

Tattoo artists duke it out with precision and panic. One shaky line could send someone home, which makes for perfect background pressure while you sip your first coffee.

💼 Loot — Apple TV (Season 3 Finale)

Molly crashing an Italian wedding? The Wells Foundation hanging on by a thread? Luciana scheming? It’s peak chaotic glamour — and a perfect season sendoff.

🐶 Merv — Prime Video (Movie Premiere)

Exes trying to co-parent a depressed dog? Adorable, chaotic, and emotionally manipulative in all the right ways. Zooey Deschanel and Charlie Cox rekindle romance under Florida sun — because where else?

🌴 Palm Royale — Apple TV

Maxine and Evelyn wheel and deal with a high-society power player. Dr. Dusty Magic (yes, that’s the name) adds some sparkle to Maxine’s life, naturally.

⚡ Percy Jackson and the Olympians — Disney+ (Season 2 Premiere, First Two Episodes)

Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Clarisse hit the Sea of Monsters. Monsters, quests, betrayal — the usual wholesome danger. Check out our season 2 review here.

🎤 Simon Cowell’s Next Act — Netflix (Series Premiere, All Six Episodes)

Cameras follow Cowell as he tries to craft the next global boyband. Drama, talent, ego, and Simon’s iconic eyebrow raises await.

📺 PRIMETIME PICKS (8:00 PM ET)

💥 The Challenge — MTV (Season 41 Reunion Part 1)

Olivia vs. Michaela. Gabe gets emotional. Smashley smashes. And then… a fiery confrontation that leaves the cast shook. Just another Wednesday in Challenge Nation.

🧠 The Floor — FOX

Sixteen players enter, only a handful will move to the finale. It’s trivia with turf warfare energy.

🚗 Shifting Gears — ABC (Fall Finale)

Matt and Eve hit a breaking point, Gabe drags Riley into mom-impressing shenanigans, and Carter desperately needs help with a prom-posal. High school chaos meets grownup drama.

🌴 Survivor — CBS

A giant reward sparks big moves and bigger paranoia. Someone debates flipping on their alliance at tribal — and you know that NEVER ends quietly.

🎄 Tournament of Champions: All-Star Christmas — Food Network (Season 1 Finale)

Four teams, two festive face-offs, one jolly winner. It’s Christmas combat with knives, ovens, and egos.

🎤 8:30 PM ET

📚 Abbott Elementary — ABC (Fall Finale)

Jacob runs the Winter Show (what could go wrong?), and Janine hits the big 3-0. Expect wholesome chaos and staffroom shade. Check out our preview here.

🔥 9:00 PM ET

🏆 99 to Beat — FOX (Season 1 Finale)

From “Confetti Sweep” to “Alphabetti Golf,” it’s the weirdest gauntlet of games on TV — and we get a winner tonight.

💸 Shark Tank — ABC (Fall Finale)

Holiday-themed pitches fly as entrepreneurs try to snag seasonal investments. Will a festive deal melt a Shark’s icy heart? Maybe. Probably not.

💅 Sistas — BET

Karen’s going-away party should be sweet, but tensions bubble. Still, the Sistas don’t play when someone threatens the circle.

🍸 Southern Charm — Bravo

Austen and Craig clean up the mess from their literary-themed party blowup. Spoiler: they’re still messy.

🚕 9:30 PM ET

🌎 The Amazing Race — CBS (Season 38 Finale)

It all comes down to a wild sprint through NYC — including a rappel down the Empire State Building. One team walks away champions, exhausted and hopefully still speaking to each other.

🌑 10:00 PM ET

🎄 South Park — Comedy Central

Satan’s got a deadline, Stan’s praying hard, and the Antichrist needs to arrive on schedule. Just a casual Christmas special.

🤘 10:30 PM ET

🧠 Beavis and Butt-Head — Comedy Central

Old Beavis takes too many meds and unleashes a childhood alter ego. Meanwhile, Smart Beavis and Butt-Head visit Earth and make a discovery. (Chaos? Obviously.)

That’s your December 10 lineup!

Check back tomorrow for another fresh, fun, and delightfully chaotic edition of your TV Cave Daily Watchlist — where we watch too much TV, so you don’t have to… but you definitely should.
