Holey Moley (ABC TV Series)

[Leisher]

This showed up on my Hulu front page and curiosity got me to try it.

What. The. Fuck.

Picture a regular Masters broadcast (that's golf Gordon, but don't leave yet...). Instead of golf, it's mini-golf. And instead of normal mini-golf courses, they're basically what you'd see in a mini-golf video game. And remember the show Wipeout? Throw that in as well so our contestants have physical things to deal with. Now add in the commentators from Best in Show (Rob Riggle is fucking hilarious), and for some reason, Steph Curry (he's a pro basketball player Gordon) is an executive producer. Oh, and just in case it wasn't whacky enough, bring in contestants that are cute girls and guys who think they're on Let's Make a Deal (bonus points if you understand why I said that). Did I also mention the completely random cameo?

Rob and Joe T., his co-host (the straight man in the comedy duo), start the series basically telling you how absurd this show is, and they're not lying. It's ridiculous, yet somehow entertaining.

Again, Riggle is hilarious and Joe's either no selling his insanity or breaking down laughing. They're a great duo.

The very first competition really plays up the Wipeout link and despite feeling bad for one of the participants you can't help but laugh because they get wiped out spectacularly. The winner felt really scripted, but stuff happens that will remind you it probably wasn't...?

This show is as stupid an idea as The Pitts, but unlike that turd this show works. There's only one episode so far, but I laughed and was entertained, so I'll give it another look next week.

A show you can watch with your family.

I kinda love miniature golf. Apparently I even set this up to record already, despite having no memory of that.
