Tonight’s TV Lineup: Michelle Obama, Holiday Premieres, and HBO’s I Love LA

Welcome to your Sunday, November 2, 2025, rundown from The TV Cave, where we watch way too much TV so you don’t have to (you’re welcome). Whether you’re in the mood for a heartwarming holiday flick, some moody drama, or Michelle Obama serving elegance, tonight’s lineup is loaded. So grab your snacks, get comfy, and let’s channel surf through what’s worth watching.

☕ 3:00 AM ET: Paramount+ Gets Gritty Before Sunrise

Mayor of Kingstown – “Mike Sends a Message”

If you’re up early (or still awake—no judgment), Mike McLusky is back to make morally gray decisions before breakfast. Expect a prison message that’s not written on Hallmark stationery and some Detroit intrigue that could shake things up. Sleep? Overrated.

Tulsa King – “Whiskey Business”

Dwight’s back to prove that age is just a number—and a RICO case waiting to happen. He’s reopening his distillery, hustling gamblers, and teaching frat boys the true meaning of regret. Stallone still makes crime look cool, and honestly, we’re here for it.

🎄 7:00 PM ET: Holiday Movies Are Already Taking Over

The Great Christmas Snow-In (UPTV) – Movie Premiere

Joey Lawrence gets dumped and heads to a cabin that was supposed to be for his honeymoon. Instead, he gets snowed in with his ex-fiancée’s cousin. Because of course he does. Expect cocoa, tears, and possibly a snowball fight that leads to kissing. Classic UPTV chaos.

💫 8:00 PM ET: Magic, Michelle, and Marge

A Newport Christmas (Hallmark Channel) – Movie Premiere

A time-traveling socialite meets a modern-day sailor in Newport. She’s from the 1900s; he’s from the land of Wi-Fi. Somehow, love prevails—because Hallmark logic always does.

Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking (Food Network) – Season 2 Premiere

Professional bakers conjure edible enchantments inside actual Harry Potter sets. Wands? Optional. Whisks? Mandatory. Expect sorting hat soufflés and cakes that might just levitate.

Michelle Obama: The Style, The Power, The Look – A Conversation with Robin Roberts (ABC)

The former First Lady gets real about how fashion shaped her story—from prom dress DIY to presidential poise. It’s part style talk, part life masterclass. Bow down.

The Simpsons (FOX)

Homer and Marge face every parent’s nightmare: is Bart actually a bad seed? Probably. But hey, we’ll still tune in for 30+ seasons of chaos.

🔎 8:30 PM ET: Crime, Chaos & Capitalism

Tracker (CBS)

Halloween meets homicide when a nurse is murdered and an arsonist vanishes. Colter’s on the case with help from a local cop, and honestly, we trust him more than the guy from True Detective season 2.

Universal Basic Guys (FOX)

Mark digs his own well to avoid paying the water bill (relatable), while Tammy takes on city bureaucracy. If “middle-class misery but funny” had a face, it’d be this show.

⚔️ 9:00 PM ET: Gods, Detectives & Outlaws

Krapopolis (FOX)

Deliria wants to become a goddess, Shlub’s being Shlub, and there’s royal drama that even Zeus would call “a bit much.”

Maigret (PBS)

A Parisian student is stabbed, and Inspector Maigret dives deep into the killer’s psyche. Think Mindhunter, but with better lighting and more cigarettes.

Robin Hood (MGM+) – Series Premiere (Two Episodes!)

Forget the tights—this is a sleek, modern take on the legend. Jack Patten’s Robin steals from the rich, flirts with Marian, and probably hacks a few bank accounts. Bonus points for Sean Bean (fingers crossed he survives this time).

Talamasca: The Secret Order (AMC)

The supernatural society’s getting sketchier by the second. Guy’s trust issues hit new heights while Helen drops lore bombs about “The Seven Five Two.” Expect dark magic, cryptic dialogue, and one or two existential crises.

🍔 9:30 PM ET: Burgers & Ballads

Bob’s Burgers (FOX)

The kids have a secret, Louise is high on dental meds, and Linda’s about to find out everything. It’s another night of delicious dysfunction at the Belcher household.

The Road (CBS)

Round two of the musical showdown! New acts take the Dallas stage to prove they’re more than viral moments. Tears, high notes, and judges who really love metaphors await.

🧠 10:10 PM ET: Philosophy & Hypotheses

The Chair Company (HBO)

Ron’s new theory leads to confusion, chaos, and maybe enlightenment? Think Severance with more academia and fewer paychecks.

🌴 10:45 PM ET: Welcome to Hollywood, Baby

I Love LA (HBO) – Series Premiere

A group of ambitious friends chase fame, love, and validation across Los Angeles. With Rachel Sennott, Jordan Firstman, and Josh Hutcherson, it’s giving Girls, Entourage, and therapy session energy—all at once.

🔚 Final Verdict

From small-town holiday hugs to supernatural secrets and sleek new series, Sunday night’s got something for everyone—whether you’re streaming early or dozing off before I Love LA.

So grab your remote, pour a drink, and tell your group chat you’re “busy.” The couch is calling.
