    There’s nothing new going on here, either (people sitting around in a bar insulting one another is as at least as old as “Cheers,” if not much older), but in Undateable’s case, it makes for accidental perfection.

    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 »

    Ever since "Undateable" went live for both the East & West Coast tapings, it has become a genuinely laugh out loud sitcom, which is to beEver since "Undateable" went live for both the East & West Coast tapings, it has become a genuinely laugh out loud sitcom, which is to be expected since the show consists of four seasoned stand-up comics who do their best work improvising. In addition, whatever mess ups may occur during the live shows only adds to the hilarity of it all.

    The fact that the show is interactive with its fans through Periscope, Instagram, and Twitter both during the tapings and after has created a true connection between the fans and the cast and crew of the show, lending itself to a growing loyal fanbase who have dubbed themselves the JSquad. Through this group of superfans, the show consistently trends weekly on Twitter only aiding to the further growth and love of the show.

    Ala "SNL" style, the show also hosts special guests like "Scandal's" Scott Foley, "Scrubs" Zach Braff and Sarah Chalke, and musical guests like Weezer, Ed Sheeran, Meghan Trainor, and the Backstreet Boys, the latter three also having acting stints within the show.

    By breaking the "Fourth Wall" with meta references to current events happening the very day of taping, to the casts lives outside of the show, to the casts reactions to the live studio audience's reactions, the show manages to stay fresh and zeitgeist.

    Aside from the laughs, the heart of show lies in the relationships between the seven main characters from the bromance between odd couple Danny and Justin, to the romantic relationships between Justin and Candace and Burski and Leslie. Some of the best moments of the show entail the cast embracing each other in a group hug.

    When it comes right down to it, the success of the show is based ultimately on love: The love between friends, the love between romantic partners, and the love between the fans and cast and crew of the show. And to wrap it all up with a bow on top, is a genuine need to just laugh out loud at all the silliness and off the rails comedy that makes "Undateable" one of the funniest, most innovative sitcoms to grace television right now.    … Full Review »

I dare say this is the one network comedy on air that is actually funny. It's easy to watch, packed with jokes and the characters on screen really do seem like friends in real life.
    The characters may be "undateable" but the show is definitely not. I'll take it out every Tuesday evening.    … Full Review »
