I watched an 11-minute episode of Care Bears and didn't cringe once. He says he "doesn't like the word 'sex'". His father tells him to text her about what type of food she wants. Sam wants to text Jolene asking whether they are lovers.

This doesn't work with a reality TV show. She acts surprised when she learns who called. Sam decides to call Jolene for another date. Charlotte says "he's different and unique, and I think that's what makes him so nice." That's a useful heuristic. The narrator says Sam's lack of experience shows because he let Jolene leave without asking if he can see her again. Sam is going to commit a burglary to pay for their unborn child, then die and have to redeem himself in purgatory, right?
The narrator tells us that Sam "might have to work on his gentlemanly conduct." This leads to an awkward scene.Īt the zoo, Sam forgot to bring money, so Jolene has to pay. Hayden's condition makes him partially deaf.
The last time this happened, they got tarot cards read. Hayden goes on a date with Charlotte on a fairground. For a show about how physical differences doesn't stop people from finding love, The Undateables sure likes to point how physical differences can stop people from finding love. The narrator said that despite the height difference, Carly thinks they are a great match. Given that a dating show is filming her, I think she will. How am I supposed to internalize this sexism if it can't keep the sexism consistent within one episode?Ĭarly is getting ready for a party, and hopes to catch the attention of a suitor.
I thought girls just cared about sex? Or was it money? The Undateables has really inconsistent misogyny. Ashley tells him that girls just care about what you look like inside. Hayden has never had a girlfriend, but his twin brother, Ashley, has had plenty. Then I could at least pretend to suspend my disbelief If you must have them, maybe just have one person shooting with a hand-held camera. I have some advice for The Undateables: These "spontaneous conversations" don't work when you have cameras shooting all around them. Sam has a blind date tomorrow, so he asks his father for some advice. She says if women "get over his condition and see him as a person," he would make someone very happy. A woman from Searchmate comes to help him. I wonder how long these episodes would be if you cut out every time they remind you of the person's situation. I have to give The Undateables credit for teaching me about different disabilities.īack to Hayden. 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.Kali has William's Syndrome, a genetic condition that gives her a distinct appearance and a learning disability. 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. Some of the best moments of the show entail the cast embracing each other in a group hug. Through this group of superfans, the show consistently trends weekly on Twitter only aiding to the further growth and love of the show.Īla "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.īy 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.Īside 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. 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. In addition, whatever mess ups may occur during the live shows only adds to the hilarity of it all. Ever 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.
