📺 What to Watch Tonight: Monday, October 6, 2025 — Horton, Brilliant Minds, and Halloween Mayhem

Welcome to The TV Cave’s Daily Watchlist, your not-so-average TV guide where we filter out the snoozefest so you only get the juiciest, wildest, and most binge-worthy picks across primetime, streaming, reality, and everything in between. It’s October 6, 2025 — spooky season is in full swing, and the TV gods are delivering treats. Let’s get into what to watch.

🌙 Before Sunrise Binge: Cartoon Chaos and Creepy Tunes

3:00 AM ET Netflix – Dr. Seuss’s Horton! (Seven-Episode Binge)Who needs sleep when Horton and his jungle crew are on a mission? This animated adventure sees Horton and Samson stepping up to save their leafy neighborhood. It’s full of heart, hijinks, and probably some life lessons adults need more than kids.

Hulu – Family Guy: A Little Fright Music Brian and Stewie are trying to fix the tragic lack of Halloween bops, and it’s going about as well as you'd expect. Meanwhile, Peter learns that faking trick-or-treating is a dangerous game (and yes, someone does die).

🛥️ Prime-Time Punch at 8PM: Drama on Deck & Battle of the Bublé

8:00 PM ET

Bravo – Below Deck Mediterranean The yacht crew is flopping harder than a TikTok dance trend. Deckhands are stumbling, a stew is flirting like it's open bar night, and the chef is barely holding it together under the pressure of rich people’s weird food requests. We live.

Fox – Name That Tune Lil Jon vs. Chord Overstreet. That’s it. That’s the tweet. Also: random normies battle it out for glory and maybe a few bucks. May the best ear win.

NBC – The Voice Night 5 of Blind Auditions is here, and the competition’s heating up. Bublé, Snoop, Reba, and Niall are all after your next karaoke go-to. If you missed Night 4, catch up before you miss another shocking buzzer moment.

ABC/ESPN – Monday Night Football: Chiefs vs. Jaguars For the sports-inclined (or Swifties looking for a stadium cameo), the Chiefs face off against the Jaguars. Spoiler: the drama may be off the field.

🎃 9PM Gets Spicy: Comedy Roasts & Ghost Notes What to Watch

9:00 PM ET

Fox – Celebrity Weakest Link Eight comedians walk into a game show… and only one will be left standing. With names like Kathy Griffin, Lil Rel, and Iliza Shlesinger, expect jokes sharper than a candy corn dagger.

Food Network – Halloween Baking Championship This week’s challenge? Desserts that send a message from the other side. Think Ouija-board cookies and haunted layer cakes. It’s spooky, it’s sweet, and someone’s ganache is going to crack under pressure.

🧠 10PM Brain Boost: Medical Drama with a Side of Mystery

10:00 PM ET

NBC – Brilliant Minds Tonight’s patient is a minor… with a major problem (read: he may be a criminal). Dr. Wolf and crew dive into neurological gray areas, while guest star Connor Tomlinson (yes, from Love on the Spectrum) brings some heartfelt depth to the screen.

🌟 Late-Night Royalty: Taylor’s Back (Again)

11:35 PM ET

NBC – The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Clear your DVR: Taylor Swift returns to Fallon to talk about The Life of a Showgirl, her 12th studio album that’s already breaking records and probably your ex’s heart. Don’t worry, she’s doing Seth Meyers on Wednesday, too.

🔮 Final Thoughts

From haunted cakes to roast battles to pop royalty on the couch, tonight's TV lineup is stacked. Whether you're here for high-stakes singing, reality show chaos, or just trying to guess how Horton saves the jungle (again), we've got you covered.
