Tonight's Top Pick is the series premiere of Are You My First?, with 10 episodes dropping at midnight on Hulu and then the pilot airing at 10 p.m. on ABC. It's a dating series featuring virgins. Hey, it was either this or the series premiere of LEGO Masters Jr.

While I look forward to the 2025-2026 fall season, and proudly announce that the new, improved, and less capricious Cancellation League begins Sunday, Aug. 24, let's see what else TV has to offer us for Monday, Aug. 18. All times are Eastern.
