Last summer, NBC launched a new sitcom called Undateable and it performed poorly in the ratings. The network still renewed it for a season two and decided to give it a second chance, airing it behind The Voice. Will the numbers improve enough for this sitcom to be renewed for a third season or, will it be cancelled instead?
Undateable follows a group of single friends who are trying to figure out the fine art of relationships. The cast includes Chris D’Elia, Brent Morin, Ron Funches, Rick Glassman, David Fynn, Bianca Kajlich, and Bridgit Mendler.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/9 update: Undateable has been renewed for a third season of “live” episodes. Details here.
Final season averages: 1.41 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.75 million total viewers.

For comparisons: The first season of Undateable averaged a 0.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 2.78 million total viewers.
Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like Undateable? Would you like to see this TV show cancelled or renewed for third season?
I think this is the funniest new show I’ve seen in years (including new “hits” like blackish and the Odd Couple), with a terrific ensemble cast. Unlike others here, I think Bridgit Mendler is a perfect fit on this show (plus she’s pretty hot). Chris D’Elia excelled on Whitney, and actually made that show watchable..his timing is impecable and it’s good to see some physical comedy on the air. As for your comments to laughter, I really like laughter when it comes from an obvious live audience, and these folks seem to be having a good time. NBC—keep this show… Read more »
Our favorite sit-com and of our favorite shows period
You know what else I love about this show, how they try to keep straight faces when they know they did, or said something funny. They try not to laugh, especially Justin, but he holds it together!
whoops…didn’t mean to ‘reply’ to last poster, just want to ‘add’ this comment.
..the bloopers are pretty damn funny in of itself… that ‘Live’ episode in May is going to be a Cat-5 train wreck..or atleast i hope it is… would be funny as hell.
🙂
Still love this show! Still don’t care for the new waitress gal, Candace. Can you get rid of her and have Leslie be the waitress? Thanks!
For something reason it never struck me to think of the background laughter on a show as a bad thing. People are going to laugh at what they think is funny. Whether its a laugh track or a live audience, it doesn’t really bother me. I liked the show in the first season and glad its finally back!
NBC gave this show a chance. the reason being is they have a talented bunch of stand ups that are friends in real life. So many times a show uses casting to find their actors, but with Undateable they wound up using people that knew each other and have had chemistry for years. if you are unsure if the laughter is real or a track look up some of the bloopers on the internet. Brent Morin and Ron Funches are two vastly under appreciated stands up and I believe Undateable will help them break out more as its on the… Read more »
So glad to see Undateable back on the air! I love Chris D’Elia and hugely enjoyed season one. Seemed like ages for season two to finally start. And could I love Shelly any more than I already so? I don’t think so! lol I know there are complaints about the laughter. With it being a live studio audience, I can handle that. That’s real people laughing at what they find funny. That isn’t canned laughter placed in there and the show execs telling me where I should laugh. I’ve got an odd sense of humor and don’t always find funny… Read more »
Thanks for bringing the show back! Had been looking forward to it all year! Don’t care for the new waitress gal though.
PATTK, glad you enjoyed it, However, I just can’t get used to the laugh track, live audience laugh thing. I know it’s just me, but it’s just one of those things I can’t handle. The minute that happens, I don’t watch the show any longer. Just for the halibut, what was it like being in the audience, and the general experience?
I’m just the opposite. I find the sitcoms with no laugh track “snooty”, as if to say, “We know you’ll find our stuff funny without any help”. Laughter has been a part of sitcoms since the 50’s, and I usually won’t give a show a second chance if it DOESN’T have any laughter inserted. The laugh-less sitcoms seem to take themselves WAY too seriously.
Undateable is taped before a live audience so the laughter is REAL. I know – I was there.
I enjoyed last night’s show look forward to the rest of the season!!!!
I really like this show. I laugh out loud in every episode. Cast has amazing chemistry.
Watching this is not a date I want to keep. I didn’t care for it last year, why should it be different this year?
Laff trak, UGH….
unwatchable.
Totally unwatchable.
