Welcome back to The TV Cave Daily Watchlist, where we sift through the sea of Saturday programming so you don’t have to.

🦃 EARLY-BIRD SPECIAL (3:00 AM ET)

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving — Apple TV (Free This Weekend!)

Set the alarm or let insomnia do the work — either way, this beloved holiday classic is streaming free. It’s the big 50th anniversary, so revisit the chaos of Peppermint Patty inviting half the world to Charlie Brown’s house… even though he’s not hosting Thanksgiving dinner. Thankfully, Snoopy (because who else?) throws together his own “meal” with the culinary prowess of a beagle who loves toast and jellybeans.

Perfect for: nostalgic feels, early-morning coziness, getting in that seasonal spirit.

🍿 PRIMETIME PICKS (8:00 PM ET)

Tonight is STACKED. Movies, mysteries, premieres — choose chaos wisely.

Dinner and a Movie — TBS

Jason and Jenny settle in for “Bullet Train” (2022). You know the deal: banter, popcorn, and Brad Pitt fighting assassins aboard a very stylish train. A comfy, low-effort watch.

Eddington — HBO (New to Cable!)

For the gritty-drama crowd. Set in 2020 New Mexico, a standoff between a sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) ignites small-town tension. Expect intensity, acting fireworks, and probably at least one scene where someone stares meaningfully into the desert.

Friends and Lovers — Lifetime Movie Premiere

Two best friends — a perfectionist doctor and her rule-breaking counterpart — navigate romance and loyalty when two men enter the picture. Melodrama with heart, because: Lifetime.

Three Wisest Men — Hallmark Channel Movie Premiere

The Brenner brothers return for one last Christmas at their family home. Expect holiday warmth, life decisions, brotherly bonding, and at least three emotional hugs.

Timeless Tidings of Joy — Great American Family Movie Premiere

Ally returns home to sell her late grandmother’s letterpress shop, only to meet a charming old soul determined to save its legacy. Holiday movie math: nostalgia + a handsome guy who loves tradition = predictable but delicious comfort viewing.

🔍 LATE-NIGHT THRILLS & CHILLS (10:00 PM ET)

48 Hours — CBS

Tonight’s episode follows Lt. Dakota Black, a tracker and detective investigating the murder of a young mother. If you love true crime, this one’s your nightcap.

🎤 MUSIC & LAUGHS TO CLOSE THE NIGHT

11:00 PM ET — Austin City Limits (PBS)

Country-pop star Kelsea Ballerini hits the ACL stage. Warm vocals, heartfelt storytelling — a soothing wind-down before chaos resumes at 11:30.

11:30 PM ET — Saturday Night Live (NBC)

Glen Powell hosts fresh off “The Running Man,” and rising star Olivia Dean takes the stage as musical guest. Expect charm, cheekbones, and sketches that hopefully don’t rely on too many wigs.

That’s your Saturday rundown!
