Tonight is the series premiere of The Hustlers on TruTV at 9/8c. Get an inside look at the high-stakes world of competitive pool. This new docu-series follows top-ranked pool sharks as they play for cash, pride and bragging rights. Every player worth his or her weight in chalk must earn a spot at the table, but having the skills to sink balls is only part of the game. Alliances are formed, but when big money and even bigger egos come into play, friendships are fleeting. Negotiating your way back into good standing takes as much skill as the game itself.

Tonight is the series premiere of Labor Games on TLC at 10/9c, followed by a 2nd new episode at 10:30/9:30c. The show takes viewers where no gameshow has gone before: inside a delivery room! Our host gives couples already in labor the chance to answer trivia questions in order to win life-changing prizes for their child — all before the baby is even born.
 
Tonight is also the series premiere of Monument Guys on HIstory Channel at 10/9c. Some people make history with their actions, and some people make it with molten bronze. At the Crucible Foundry in Norman Oklahoma, brothers Mark and Steve Palmerton, and sculptor Craig Campbell, research, sculpt, and cast bronze statues of deserving heroes—dead and alive, celebrated and forgotten. In small towns across America, these monuments ensure a legacy that will last for thousands of years, and the crew at the Crucible will go to any means to make sure they’re done right.

Tonight is the series premiere of Lost in Transmission on History Channel at 10/9c. Automotive aficionado and Top Gear co-host, Rutledge Wood, and fellow car fanatic, George Flanigen, are hitting the road with one mission: rescue and restore America’s most under-appreciated classic cars. The show will follow these two car connoisseurs as they comb the barns and backyards of America to find rare rides from the past and get them back on the road to live another day. From resurrecting a 1981 DeLorean that was submerged in Hurricane Sandy to an insect infested 1964 Ford F100 that has been at the mercy of the elements for years, restoring these classics isn’t about making a profit for Rutledge and George, it’s about uncovering the most incredible vehicles ever made and seeing them run like new. Rutledge is an expert at finding rare cars and George is a shrewd operator with an eye on the budget, providing a much-needed counterbalance to Rutledge’s passion. While this journey will take them off the beaten path, exploring hidden back roads and meeting eccentric characters, they will discover the heart of American car culture.
 
Tonight is also the complete first season premiere of Grace and Frankie on Netflix at 3:01AM/2:01AMc. In this irreverent and touching series, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin star as Grace and Frankie, a pair of frenemies whose lives are turned upside down — and permanently intertwined — when their husbands leave them for each other. Together, they must face starting over in their 70s in a 21st century world. The series also stars Martin Sheen, Sam Waterston, Brooklyn Decker, Ethan Embry, June Diane Raphael, and Baron Vaughn.
