TV picks for June 20: 'Holey Moley,' 'Trinkets,' 'Spin the Wheel'

June 19, 2019 at 8:17PM
HOLEY MOLEY - "Putt Up or Shut Up" - It's mini-golf like you've never seen it before. Every week, the first-of-its-kind mini-golf competition series with Rob Riggle, Joe Tessitore, Jeannie Mai and resident golf pro Stephen Curry features 12 mini-golfers facing off in a series of head-to-head, sudden-death matchups. Winners will move on to round two and from there, only three will make it to the final hole - the daunting Mt. Holey Moley. At the end of every episode, one winner will be crowned and

Watch the birdie

Miniature golf gets taken semi-seriously in "Holey Moley," a new competition series in which putters take on holes that appear to be inspired by the obstacles on "American Ninja Warrior." Since NBA superstar Stephen Curry is among the executive producers, we can only assume that a show revolving around Pop-A-Shot is in development.

7 p.m., KSTP, Ch. 5

Disenchanted

The teenagers in "Trinkets" are more likely to take their cues from internet porn than "Catcher in the Rye," especially the three girls who slowly bond over their addiction to shoplifting. Creator Kirsten Smith, who helped write the screenplays for "Legally Blonde" and "Ella Enchanted," is clearly eager to explore territory too dark for big screen rom-coms. Grown-up viewers may not be convinced that today's youth are as promiscuous as the show portrays them, but they may start thinking about establishing an earlier curfew.

Spin cycle

Dax Shepard makes a good host/cheerleader for "Spin the Wheel," a new series that borrows the right bits from "HQ Trivia," "Wheel of Fortune" and "Deal or No Deal." As with most of the new game shows premiering this summer, "Spin" doesn't take a lot of brainpower to play along. Shepard will also appear June 29 in the Twin Cities as part of the inaugural Minneapolis Comedy Festival.

8 p.m., KMSP, Ch. 9
