The TV Cave’s Daily TV Guide: What to Watch on August 17

Monday night is not playing around. From reality competition showdowns and dangerous yacht drama to the return of one of television’s most wonderfully dysfunctional families, there is plenty to keep you glued to the couch tonight.

The evening kicks off in the early morning hours with new episodes of Furious and Futurama on Hulu. If you are already awake at 3 a.m., first of all, we have questions. But at least there is fresh television waiting for you.

Then prime time takes over with several big moments, including the Season 3 finale of The 1% Club, the continuing National Finals on American Ninja Warrior, and another round of drama aboard Below Deck Mediterranean. ABC is also bringing back Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro with a new challenge that gives dancers just two days to prepare.

And then there is the big one: It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is back for Season 18. Yes, the gang is once again making terrible decisions, and this time Frank's wedding is at the center of the madness. Because naturally, a wedding involving these people could never simply be a wedding.

The TV Cave Pick for Tonight

If you are choosing just one thing to watch tonight, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is the obvious choice. Season 18 is kicking off with a wedding, Frank's cold feet, and Dee attempting to derail the whole thing. Honestly, what could possibly go wrong?

Famous last words.
