Is Undateable underperforming? At the winter TCA press tour, NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt said the network still likes the sitcom despite its low ratings.
Undateable stars Chris D’Elia, Brent Morin, Ron Funches, and Rick Glassman as a group of single friends trying to navigate dating and relationships.
Currently in the middle of its third season, it’s true that Undateable‘s numbers have declined. So far, season three is averaging only around 2.75 million viewers whereas season two averaged 4.75 million per episode.
The change may have to do with NBC’s decision to air all of season three’s episodes live on Friday night. Despite the low ratings, however, Greenblatt was quoted at the TCAs saying, “Undateable is a show we really like.”
What do you think? Do you watch Undateable? Is the series worse or better as an all-live show?
REALLY like this show. I think it is so funny, although, not for young viewers. I like it being live so that it’s more topical.
It’s just OK, little substance and way too much sex-talk…and absolutely HATE the “laugh-track!” Look at LAST MAN STANDING and other shows that are really funny, substantive, and free of the annoying Laugh-track.
Laugh track? It’s live with legit crowd laughter
This comment shows you’re not watching. It’s live, you can see the audience, there’s no laugh track. Maybe it’s not for you, but many of us love it and participate with cast, producers and writers via social media, which expands the experience. It’s packed with talent. My favorite show
I love the live shows and really enjoy having different musicians each week.
I like the show live, and really like the musical guest. Cutting the show back to 1/2 hour, meant cutting more live music!!! The live 1 hour show felt like a new twist on the old variety shows. I’m not sure what the solution is, but I will keep watching no matter what you do next!!
Love the show! Really enjoy the show being live. The music has been great. And have enjoyed having Whitney Cummings on there also.
Undateable is one of my favorites . Very talented and funny cast. Hope you renew it as it is so much better than a lot that is out there in tv wasteland.
