The TV Cave’s Daily TV Guide: What to Watch on August 11

Tuesday night is bringing a little bit of everything to the TV screen. Whether you are in the mood for reality competition, restaurant drama, courtroom showdowns, comedy, or something to stream after midnight, there is plenty to keep your remote busy.

Netflix is kicking things off in the early morning with a look at one of football's biggest managerial names, while Rory Scovel is ready to turn a hypothetical home invasion and a biblical reenactment into comedy. Paramount+ also has another installment of Ruthless waiting for viewers who prefer their drama with a little more danger.

Later in the afternoon, Freeform is giving fans a chance to revisit the entire second season of Shifting Gears. Then primetime brings the competition, as America's Got Talent determines which performers are heading to the live shows.

Over on Fox, Gordon Ramsay is back trying to save another struggling restaurant on Kitchen Nightmares, while Bravo heads across the pond for another double dose of The Real Housewives of London.

And if game shows and courtroom drama are more your speed, Fox and BET have you covered with Beat Shazam and Ms. Pat Settles It. Here is everything worth checking out today.

What Should You Watch Tonight?

If you are looking for the biggest competition of the night, America's Got Talent is the obvious stop. The season is moving toward its live shows, so every performance has a little more riding on it. With Nikki Glaser and Sebastián Yatra joining the judging and guest lineup, there is also plenty of familiar star power in the mix.

For something a little more chaotic in the kitchen, Gordon Ramsay is doing what Gordon Ramsay does best on Kitchen Nightmares: walking into a struggling restaurant and attempting to figure out why everything has gone so spectacularly wrong. Tonight's episode puts the owner's leadership style under the microscope.

Reality TV fans also have a reason to stay up. The Real Housewives of London delivers two episodes, and apparently a peaceful picnic is too much to ask when unresolved tensions and unexpected arrivals are involved. Meanwhile, Panthea has Buckingham Palace on her agenda, because apparently a normal Tuesday was never an option.

Over on BET, Ms. Pat Settles It proves that television courtroom drama does not require a murder mystery or a billion dollar lawsuit. Sometimes you just need a totaled minivan, stolen televisions, and someone who absolutely should not have been trusted with a pair of scissors near a child's hair.

For viewers who want something funny, ComicView follows at 9:30 PM with comedians tackling everything from cruise ship bathroom disasters to biker fantasies and the unique experience of having fun in Las Vegas.

And if you are looking for something to stream, Netflix has two very different options at 3:00 AM. Mourinho dives into the career of one of football's most recognizable managers, while Rory Scovel: Show Must Go On takes a much less serious route with an offbeat comedy special.

Whether you are watching live, catching up later, or simply scrolling through the streaming apps trying to decide what deserves your attention, Tuesday has plenty of options. The only real question is whether your DVR has enough room.
