The TV Cave’s Daily Watchlist: What to Watch on December 9: NCIS & All's Fair Season Finale

Welcome back, Cave Dwellers! Grab your remote, your snacks, and maybe that blanket you keep saying you’ll wash eventually. We've got a fully loaded night of TV that ranges from festive feels to franchise chaos to birthday drama no one asked for (yet we will absolutely watch). Let’s dive into what’s streaming, premiering, and finale-ing today across the TV universe.

☀️ EARLY MORNING STREAMING FIX (3:00 AM ET)

All’s Fair — Hulu

Season 1 Finale (Two Episodes)If you love your romantic dramedies with a side of “oh no, what now?”, Hulu drops the final two episodes today. Carr cracks into a new to-do list (because who doesn’t love anxiety in list form?) and Liberty learns that marriage can get way messier than divorce. A peak modern relationship vibe.

Roofman — Paramount+

New to StreamingChanning Tatum plays a former Army Ranger who turns to robbing McDonald’s by literally coming in through the roof. Yes, that’s the whole thing. Yes, we’re watching immediately. Kirsten Dunst co-stars in this stranger-than-fiction crime dramedy based on real events—and honestly, this is exactly the type of chaotic energy we expect from a Tuesday.

🎄 8:00 PM ET — HOLIDAY SPIRIT & PRIMETIME CHAOS

Kevin Costner Presents: The First Christmas — ABC

Kevin Costner takes the reins of a heartfelt special tracing Mary and Joseph’s journey. Expect sweeping storytelling, emotional beats, and the kind of cinematic earnestness only Costner can deliver.

NCIS — CBS

The team gets some high-tech “help” from a brand-new addition: an A.I. chatbot being tested by the Department of Justice. Bold of CBS to give us an episode about chatbots—let’s hope this one behaves better than most internet comment sections.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City — Bravo

The vacation continues, but the peace does not. Meredith and Heather’s feud lives on, fueled by sun, salt air, and probably too many group activities.

🏡 9:00 PM ET — DRAMA, DESIGN, AND FINAL COURSES

Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House — HGTV / Magnolia Network

Chip and Joanna Gaines take on a 1960s mountain property. High altitude, high stakes, and the possibility of Chip trying to ski down a hill with a power tool—what more could we ask for?

NCIS: Origins — CBS

Fall FinaleA confidential informant gets shot, Franks visits his brother, and Gibbs’ relationship with Diane hits a crossroads when she considers a job in Los Angeles. Classic NCIS energy: danger, drama, complex family dynamics, and one very heavy cliffhanger incoming.

Vanderpump Rules — Bravo

Audrey’s 22nd birthday party isn’t just loud—it’s eventful. She gets cozy with new bartender Chris, Lisa confronts Marcus, and Venus attempts to keep Natalie and Kim from going full scorched earth. Good luck to her.

Wipeout — TBS

Series FinaleThe revival that launched in 2021 runs its final obstacle course tonight. Expect big splashes, bigger wipeouts, and a farewell lap full of nostalgic bruises.

🌙 10:00 PM ET — LATE-NIGHT MYSTERIES

NCIS: Sydney — CBS

A murdered American sailor turns out to be the subject of a true-crime podcast—and the team soon wonders whether an overzealous superfan decided to rewrite the ending. If you’ve ever side-eyed a podcaster’s “theory,” this one’s for you.

📺 That’s a Wrap!

December 9 is serving finales, fall finales, festive specials, streaming drops, and enough interpersonal drama to fuel three group chats. Whether you're in the mood for holiday warmth, true-crime twists, reality meltdowns, or Chip Gaines doing something questionably athletic, The TV Cave has your lineup locked.

See you tomorrow for another tour through the TV jungle. Keep your remotes charged and your expectations high.
