There’s gold in them there puns, with Fool’s Gold

Here’s what’s up in the world of TV for Wednesday, April 1. All times are Eastern.
Top pick
Fool’s Gold (Animal Planet, 7 p.m.): The United States premiere (and full run) of Fool’s Gold is on tonight. Usually, we wouldn’t pay any mind to a show about “wanna-be miners in their search for gold.” But reading the episode titles, we’re now a little intrigued, based solely on the pun situation. The first episode is an instant winner, with the title “A Miner Setback,” but the seventh episode title is no slouch, as “Gold Habits Die Hard” is pretty fantastic itself. We can’t confirm that this is a good show, but those titles are definitely something to look forward to. What’s On Tonight will make sure to keep you informed of that, at least.
However, it’s your job to keep What’s On Tonight informed if Animal Planet’s Fool’s Gold becomes Kate Hudson and Academy Award Winner Matthew McConaughey’s Fool’s Gold:
Also noted
The Middle (ABC, 8 p.m.) / The Goldbergs (ABC, 8:30 p.m.): This week on The Middle, “Frankie attempts to help a socially inept Brick make friends on a school field trip.” Will Frankie also have the realization that she herself is socially inept? We shall see. As for The Goldbergs, in the amazingly titled “The Adam Bomb,” it’s an April Fool’s Day battle between Adam and Barry (and a bomb?). Will Harris prefers that his school field trips hav April Fool’s Day battles, so as usual, these are the perfect scenarios for him.
Arrow (The CW, 8 p.m.): This week on Arrow, Felicity’s mother returns to support Felicity and a “critically injured” Ray. We’re not sure that Donna Smoak is the best person to get viewers on the “You Will Like Ray Palmer” train, but with the top secret spin-off pilot that’s in the works, every avenue must be explored. Also, Ra’s al Ghul kidnaps Captain Lance, effectively decreasing the “mobbed up to the eyeballs”-style dialogue of the show by 100 percent. Alasdair Wilkins will make up for the loss by ending every other sentence in his review with “smitty.” It’s his April Fool’s gift to us all.
