As John Denver once memorialized in song, there’s something special about living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. In the first project outside of their home state of Texas, Chip and Joanna Gaines will chase their own Rocky Mountain high as they renovate a ski getaway for their family in Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House. The three episode series finds the Gaineses navigating everything from “creating spaces ideal for a multi-generational family gathering, to surprise visits from local wildlife, to uncovering unique architectural details.” New episodes will premiere over the next three Tuesdays on HGTV and Magnolia Network, which is available with a subscription to discovery+.

30 For 30: Boo-Yah: A Portrait of Stuart Scott - 9pm ET on ESPN
For sports fans of a certain age, Stuart Scott will always be the first SportsCenter anchor they associate with ESPN’s iconic highlight show. With his patented mix of enthusiasm and knack for clever metaphors – “as cool as the other side of the pillow” will always be our personal favorite – Scott was as instrumental as anyone in turning SportsCenter into one of the most popular shows on all of cable. Sadly, Scott succumbed to his multiple battles with cancer at the age of 49 in 2015. On Wednesday, ESPN is premiering a new 30 For 30 documentary on his life. Featuring interviews with fellow broadcasters like Kenny Smith and Scott’s former SportsCenter colleagues like Rich Eisen, the newest 30 For 30 special promises to be both entertaining and emotional.

Before Bowl Season heats up, ESPN has an NHL doubleheader on Thursday night. First up, Jack Eichel and the Vegas Golden Knights travel east to take on Trevor Zegras and the Philadelphia Flyers. Both teams are off to solid starts but have ground to make up on the division leaders. The marquee game of the night belongs to the defending champion Florida Panthers, who travel to Denver to face Nathan McKinnon and the first place Colorado Avalanche. With 48 points and an eye-popping +49 goal differential, the Avs are off to not only the best start in franchise history, but one of the best starts in the history of the NHL: As of last week, The Athletic reported that the Avs were on pace for a record 139 points this season. The Panthers, meanwhile, are dealing with a ton of injuries, which has led to a mediocre 14-12-2 start in their quest for a threepeat.

College Football Awards - 7pm ET on ESPN
With the college football regular season now completed, it’s time to give awards to the best players and coaches. First up is the College Football Awards, which will hand out individual honors named after the greats from yesteryear. Look for live presentations of such colorfully-named awards like the Biletnikoff Award (best receiver), the Doak Walker Award (best running back), the Butkus Award (best linebacker), and our personal favorite, the Nagurski Trophy (best defensive player). Friday night’s award show is a prelude to the Heisman Trophy Ceremony, which takes place the following day at 7pm ET on ABC.

Bucked Up LA Bowl - Boise State vs. Washington - 8pm ET on ABC
Following the presentation of the Heisman Trophy, College Football’s Bowl Season kicks off with a tasty matchup between 2023 CFP runner-up Washington and Mountain West champion Boise State. The 8-4 Huskies enter the game as heavy -9.5 point favorites over the Broncos, and while they struggled to a 5-4 record in Big Ten play, they seem to have found their footing under head coach Jedd Fisch, who took over the program after Kalen DeBoer left for Alabama. On the flip side, Boise State may not have made the College Football Playoff as they did last year, but they’re known for highly entertaining Bowl Games, including their unforgettable trick play to beat Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl.

It: Welcome to Derry - Season 1 finale at 9pm ET on HBO
https://youtu.be/M1w-I8vreAQ?si=5viTPGtyacR9HMSV
The first season of the It spin-off Welcome to Derry wraps up on Sunday night. Helmed by the same creative team behind the hit film series, Welcome to Derry has been, if anything, even more terrifying and disturbing than the movies. With Bill Skarsgård’s Pennywise finally making his grand entrance in episode 5, expect the finale to feature even more scares than previous episodes. Director Andy Muschietti promised a different time-setting for subsequent seasons, so expect the season finale to wrap up the main storyline.

Monday Night Football - Miami Dolphins at Pittsburgh Steelers - 8:15pm ET on ESPN
On paper, the Miami Dolphins are just as good as the Kansas City Chiefs. That statement is shocking for a couple of reasons, but on the Miami side of it, their turnaround from the ugly start to the season has been borderline remarkable. After a 1-6 start, the ‘Fins have won five of their last six and would get back to .500 with a win against the Steelers. Pittsburgh is coming off of a massive (and controversial) road win over Baltimore and are in great position to win the AFC North. But the Steelers have been impossible to predict this year, and if they want to stabilize to win a playoff game for the first time since 2017, they’ll need to handle business against the Dolphins, as they close their season with tough games against Detroit and Baltimore.
