When Nature Calls with Helen Mirren has a new premiere date, Thursday, June 24 from 8:00-9:00 p.m. EDT (instead of June 17), on ABC. Episodes will also air the next day on demand and on Hulu.

ABC's wackiest extreme mini-golf competition series, Holey Moley 3D in 2D, will now swing into its season three premiere with an epic two-hour evening airing Thursday, June 17 from 8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT, on ABC, and return to its regular 9:00-10:00 p.m. timeslot the following week.
