🔥 Today in TV Land: What to Watch on Tuesday, October 21, 2025 🔥

Your daily binge breakdown from The TV Cave — where couch time is sacred, spoilers are a sin, and snark is always in season.

☕ Early Risers, Night Owls & Hardcore Streamers — This One’s for You (3:00 AM ET)

📺 Chad Powers (Hulu)

Penultimate Episode Alert! The Catfish are undefeated, ESPN is knocking, and Chad’s ego might just be the real MVP. If you thought a college football Cinderella story couldn’t spiral into chaos... think again.

🎤 Michelle Wolf: The Well (Netflix)

Motherhood, murderers, and middle-class meltdowns — Michelle’s back and she’s not holding back. A must-stream stand-up that punches up (and occasionally sideways).

🔍 Only Murders in the Building (Hulu)

Another Penultimate Party! There’s a robot. It’s annoying. It knows things. Secrets spill and martinis flow in a final bash at the Arconia. Spoiler: someone’s definitely eavesdropping.

⚾ Who Killed the Montreal Expos? (Netflix)

Baseball meets conspiracy. This doc digs into the demise of Canada’s OG MLB team — with more finger-pointing than a reunion episode of Housewives.

🏀 Prime-Time Tip-Off: Sports Start Early (7:30 PM ET)

🏀 Coast 2 Coast Tuesday (NBC & Peacock)

Double-header dreams come true! Rockets vs. Thunder at 8 PM (East/Central), Warriors vs. Lakers at 8 PM (Mountain/Pacific). No matter your coast, there’s court-side drama streaming on Peacock.

💃 Twirls, Twists & True Crime Tuesdays (8:00 PM ET)

💚 Dancing With the Stars (ABC / Disney+)

It’s “Wicked” night, and we’re defying gravity — and dance expectations. Jon M. Chu joins the judging panel, and we’re one step-ball-change away from a Glinda meltdown.

🧩 Murder in a Small Town (FOX)

Unsolved cases collide, secrets unravel, and Tyler Posey pops in just in time to stir the mystery pot. Bring snacks and your red yarn board.

🔫 NCIS (CBS)

Part 2 of 2! Parker’s playing revenge hardball, and his sister’s stuck in a moral pickle. One of the more emotional (and possibly lethal?) episodes in recent NCIS memory.

💎 The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (Bravo)

Heather confronts the drama hangover from Whitney’s party. Meanwhile, Bronwyn tries (and fails?) to get Todd to care about her Bravo-sphere feuds. He’s all “meh,” she’s all “MIC DROP.”

🎥 Deep Cuts & Deadly Discoveries (9:00 PM ET)

🎞️ Armed Only With a Camera: The Life and Death of Brent Renaud (HBO)

A heartbreaking doc that follows one journalist’s fearless reporting — and the powerful aftermath of his death in Ukraine. Raw, reverent, and real.

🩺 Doc (FOX)

That weight-loss miracle drug? Yeah, it’s exposing more than just waistlines. Relationship issues, surprise diagnoses — it’s a full-blown emotional cardio workout.

🕶️ The Lowdown (FX)

Lee’s on a mission to find a street hustler, but you just know this search is about to go sideways. Expect grit. And possibly blood.

🌊 NCIS: Origins (CBS)

College swimmer’s death: tragic accident or darker truth? Gibbs is sharpening his interrogation chops — and yes, it’s giving “baby Gibbs” with a vengeance.

🏡 Wife Swap: The Real Housewives Edition (Bravo)

Series Premiere! Angie from RHOSLC swaps stilettos for... no electricity? She’s trading Botox for bug spray in a reality remix you didn’t know you needed.

🎃 Late Night Weirdness and Whodunits (10:00 PM ET)

🏚️ High Potential (ABC)

A haunted mansion. A dead lawyer. And a Halloween case that’s more trick than treat. Yes, the vibes are clue board meets Scooby gang.

🌏 NCIS: Sydney (CBS)

Things are personal Down Under. Doc’s breaking and entering, secrets are surfacing, and someone on the team might not be who they say they are. Gulp.

📌 Binge-Worthy Takeaways:

• Double dose of NCIS tonight — one emotional, one investigative, both gripping.

• If you’re a Bravo-holic, it’s a buffet: Housewives drama and Wife Swap chaos.

• Streamers, you’ve got robot mysteries (Only Murders), football fairytales (Chad Powers), and truth bombs (Michelle Wolf).

• Don’t skip the docs — HBO and Netflix are delivering the emotional punches today.

💡 Pro Tip: Bookmark The TV Cave and never miss a beat — from witchy dance numbers to pitch-perfect sports nights and murder mysteries that hit too close to home.

🛋️ See you back here tomorrow. Same time. Same couch.
