    Undateable may be unoriginal, but it’s not unwatchable.

    It’s watchable but it’s not unforgettable and, oddly, it could be.

    The Undateable pilot was a real chore to get through, in part because Danny is just such an obnoxious collection of dude-bro stereotypes.... Later episodes get better, because they start moving away from the idea of Danny as some kind of sexual Jedi master whom the others are lucky to be learning from.

    If there were a Match.com for sitcoms, this show would be blocked, banned and forgotten.

    It's still hard to expect much out of a sitcom arriving on broadcast TV in summer. In the case of NBC's Undateable, that's a good attitude. If you get a few laughs out of it, great. Otherwise, no hopes will be dashed.

    Amid the dated material and the forced efforts to create catchphrases on Undateable, there is some skill in evidence.

    Both [Undateable and "The Night Shift"] are NBC series serving as spring-summer filler, adequate at what they do but not worth scheduling your life around.

    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.

    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 »
