    The show's main problem is that the guys, straddling the line between undateable-cute and undateable-unlikeable, more frequently fall into the latter camp. [2 Jun 2014, p.46]

    Since just about every character is neurotic, cartoonish or annoying, you end up rooting for them to remain dateless.

    Sporadically funny, this Bill Lawrence production is unpretentious, but ultimately tedious.

    There’s no one to care about, no laughs, and nothing that you haven’t seen before.

    Thanks to its cheap jokes and tired premises--it’s begging to be declared Unwatchable. [30 May/6 Jun 2014, p.113]

    Undateable probably isn’t a show many sitcom fans will want to make a standing date to watch.

    NONE of the critic reviews for this show have been since it went LIVE. This was a great show since season 1. It's an even BETTER show now. ANONE of the critic reviews for this show have been since it went LIVE. This was a great show since season 1. It's an even BETTER show now. A brilliant cast, with great actors and hilarious comedians...given free reign to improv - LIVE on national tv. No other "sitcom" on television does this.
    Plus- the writers and cast use social media in ways that have never been done before. You can tweet with them, see a periscope from the writers room DAILY, and even call a dedicated phone (the Danny phone) and often talk to a cast member - or get pictures via text. It offers an experience for the fans that is truly unique.
    While I'm sure it's easy for someone to watch ONE episode and verbally bash it to oblivion on the internet (negative reviews are so much more fun to write), if they would at least take the time to give it a chance - I'm almost sure they would fall in love with the show, just as the rest of us have. The UndateableLive cast/crew have certainly put in more heart, time and effort into creating this 30 min of entertainment than any other show I have ever watched. I truly hope NBC can see that and give it another season (and better time slot) for others to enjoy it as well.    … Full Review »

    Undateable? More like UN-WATCHABLE. And I won't fault the actors on this one, the lines they were given were titanic...in their tragic-ness.Undateable? More like UN-WATCHABLE. And I won't fault the actors on this one, the lines they were given were titanic...in their tragic-ness. Were these writers trained under Stephanie Meyer because after only watching 7 minutes of it, I feel like I'm in the twilight-zone of bad television.… Full Review »
