Whether you're a reality junkie, drama lover, or a parent just trying to survive with CoComelon on a loop, we've got your full August 18th TV schedule covered.

☀️ Stream Now: What’s Hot & Ready Before Breakfast
🍑 Are You My First?
Hulu | 3:00 AM ET | ALL 10 EPISODES
Genre: Reality, Romance, Tropical Drama
The title is awkward, the premise is wild, and the cast? Virgins. On an island. Hosted by Colton Underwood and Kaitlyn Bristowe. It's giving “Too Hot to Handle” but with more emotional repression. If you’re into sexy social experiments with a dash of “why are we watching this?”, add it to your queue now.
TV Cave Verdict: Steamy, messy, and definitely not for the family room.
🎶 CoComelon Lane – Season 5
Netflix | 3:00 AM ET | ALL 4 EPISODES
Genre: Kids, Musical, Wholesome Chaos
The littles are BACK and they’re headed to the airport, the apple orchard, and probably your living room at full volume. Great for toddlers. Torture for everyone else.
TV Cave Tip: Headphones. For them and you.
🇮🇪 Irish Blood
Acorn TV | 3:00 AM ET
Genre: Crime, Mystery, Gritty
A bloody pair of MMA gloves and three badass investigators? Yes please. Fiona, Musa, and Róisín are back on the hunt in this slow-burn, moody crime series that’s as Irish as it gets.
TV Cave Says: A pint of Guinness pairs well with this mystery.
🌆 Primetime Power: What to Watch Live Tonight
🏃♂️ American Ninja Warrior
NBC | 8:00 PM ET
Genre: Competition, Sports
Finals in Vegas, ninjas flying through the air, and more abs than your gym. High-stakes, side-by-side races are on the menu. Get ready to cheer and feel wildly unfit.
TV Cave Challenge: Try not to pull a muscle just watching.
🌴 Bachelor in Paradise
ABC | 8:00 PM ET
Genre: Reality Romance, Hot Mess Express
Tonight’s "Treasure Hunk" test (we can’t make this up) brings a twist before a group vote rose ceremony. Nothing says “true love” like organized chaos and 15 people you barely know deciding your fate.
TV Cave Mood: Bring wine. Lots of it.
🚢 Below Deck
Bravo | 8:00 PM ET
Genre: Reality, Drama at Sea
Guests are pissed, Fraser’s melting down, and Kyle might get thrown overboard (emotionally, at least). Chef Anthony is this close to flipping a pan. Peak Below Deck energy.
TV Cave Says: The ocean’s not the only thing with waves tonight.
🧱 LEGO Masters Jr.
Fox | 8:00 PM ET
Genre: Family, Reality, Build-A-Showdown
New series alert! Hosted by Kelly Osbourne and starring a delightful lineup of celeb contestants. It’s bricks, banter, and wholesome competition with just enough drama to keep adults interested.
TV Cave Tagline: Build it. Break it. Beat it.
👑 The McBee Dynasty
Bravo | 9:00 PM ET
Genre: Reality, Family Drama
Jesse’s spiraling, Cole’s buying rings, and Steven’s inviting surprise guests. AKA, a classic McBee meltdown. The wedding’s near and so are the emotional breakdowns.
TV Cave Energy: Southern soap opera realness.
🧠 The Quiz With Balls
Fox | 9:00 PM ET
Genre: Game Show, Trivia
Two families, one giant quiz, and categories ranging from video games to world languages. This show throws trivia and dodgeballs. Think "Jeopardy!" if it got hit in the face.
TV Cave Reaction: Balls. So many balls.
🌊 Late Night Drama & True Crime Fix
🆘 Survival Mode
NBC | 10:00 PM ET
Genre: Docuseries, Disaster
Real families fight for survival during catastrophic floods in Kentucky. Raw, emotional, and a reminder that nature doesn’t play fair.
TV Cave Mood: Heavy but gripping.
🔪 A Killer Among Friends – Season 1 Finale
Investigation Discovery | 10:00 PM ET
Genre: True Crime
A UCLA student is murdered in a hauntingly infamous tunnel. Manson connections. Chilling twists. A must-watch for crime lovers.
TV Cave Chills: Don’t watch this alone. Or do, if you're into that kind of terror.
🛋️ That’s a Wrap!
