What to Watch Tonight: Tuesday, November 11 — Dancing, Murder in a Small Town, and NCIS

Welcome to your Tuesday night survival kit, TV lovers — brought to you by The TV Cave, where your remote gets the workout it deserves. Whether you’re in the mood for glitz, grit, or a little Golden Girls gossip, tonight’s lineup has it all: throwdowns, tributes, and a crossover decades in the making. Let’s dive in.

🌅 Early Risers (or Night Owls): Streaming Starts at 3 AM

If you’re the type who considers 3 AM “prime time,” streaming’s got your back.

All’s Fair (Hulu) Emerald’s quest for independence hits a serious plot pothole, forcing her team to regroup for justice. Expect sharp writing, emotional whiplash, and that signature Hulu mix of grit and glossy drama.

Squid Game: The Challenge (Netflix — four new episodes) Still standing? Congrats, you’ve made it further than most contestants. The tension ramps up as players push through new games designed to crush both spirits and alliances. Translation: chaos, betrayal, and a few questionable friendship choices.

🌟 8 PM ET: Primetime Has Entered the Chat

The couch showdown begins. Who needs dinner when the menu is this good?

American Heart in WWI: A Carnegie Hall Tribute (PBS) PBS serves up a “living documentary” that’s half concert, half history lesson. Expect powerhouse performances from Adam Chanler-Berat, Micaela Diamond, and more as they bring the World War I era to life — because nothing says “Tuesday night” like heartfelt ballads and vintage patriotism.

Beat Bobby Flay: Holiday Throwdown (Food Network, Season 4 Premiere) Bobby’s got beef — literally and figuratively. Sunny Anderson kicks off a Friendsgiving brawl where chefs Damaris Phillips, Jet Tila, and Antonia Lofaso come armed with festive dishes and a side of revenge. The kitchen’s heating up, and the shade is well-seasoned.

Coast 2 Coast Tuesday (NBC) Sports fans, rejoice — it’s a doubleheader night. The Celtics face off against the 76ers while the Nuggets tackle the Kings. Both games stream back-to-back on Peacock, so no one’s left courtside crying.

Dancing With the Stars (ABC) Break out the sequins! DWTS celebrates 20 years of glitter bombs, dramatic dips, and wardrobe malfunctions. Tom Bergeron returns as guest judge, proving that nostalgia looks best under a disco ball.

Murder in a Small Town (FOX) The stakes rise with a double kidnapping that sends the Gibson police force scrambling. Cassandra’s facing budget woes, but honestly, we’re more concerned about who’s getting out alive.

NCIS: Origins / NCIS Crossover Event (CBS, Two Hours) Buckle up, agents — this is a big one. The mystery begins in the ’90s with young Gibbs, and decades later, the current NCIS crew reopens the same case. Mark Harmon returns, because some heroes never fade (they just get cooler with time).

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (Bravo) Ahoy, drama! It’s the final day at sea, and Meredith and Britani’s feud has officially capsized the yacht. Bronwyn’s offering up sacrifices, someone’s crying, someone’s lying, and alliances are shifting faster than the waves. Bless this glorious mess.

💃 9 PM ET: Things Get Personal

The mid-evening crowd is all about emotions — and holiday clutter.

Doc (FOX) Amy and Gina go full-on superhero mode to help a domestic abuse victim, while TJ accidentally becomes a viral star after saving an influencer. Expect equal parts heart and eye-rolls.

Hoarding for the Holidays (HGTV) If your storage unit gives you anxiety, brace yourself. This four-episode binge takes you inside homes where holiday spirit turns into a full-blown snowstorm of tinsel, figurines, and regret.

The Oval (BET) Victoria’s plotting (again), Hunter’s distracted (again), and Sharon’s about to unearth something huge. Basically, another perfectly unhinged night in the fictional White House.

🌙 10 PM ET: Legends and Mysteries

When the clock hits ten, nostalgia meets treasure hunts — and both deliver serious TV comfort food.

The Golden Girls: 40 Years of Laughter and Friendship (ABC) Picture it: primetime, 2025. ABC’s 20/20 celebrates four decades of cheesecake, sarcasm, and sisterhood. Expect stories from creator Susan Harris, exec producer Tony Thomas, and famous fans like Kelly Ripa and Laverne Cox. Blanche would call it “fabulous,” and we agree.

Mysteries Unearthed With Danny Trejo (History, Season 2 Premiere) Danny Trejo’s back and digging up America’s weirdest treasures. From a legendary baseball bat to a hidden painting, this is history with a side of badassery.

NCIS: Sydney (CBS) One dead Navy attaché, one USB jammed where it shouldn’t be, and a trail that leads to — wait for it — an international chess tournament. It’s smart, stylish, and just the right amount of deadly.

🍿 Final Take

Whether you’re team sequins, team suspense, or team “just give me something to stream at 3 AM,” tonight’s TV buffet delivers. From Golden Girls nostalgia to NCIS crossovers, The TV Cave has your watchlist covered — so grab your snacks, silence your group chat, and dive in.
