Undateable

Lets be clear guys if you want a good laugh you should watch the show.. It does not have a plot or storyline but its good comedy.. Mainly because of Chris D'Elia he will do something completely random and stupid which will make you laugh like crazy.. As for the rest of the cast I might say I was not really impressed as most of the time it looks like Chris saves the day but nonetheless they are quite good you might see their inexperience if you are a fan of Comedy TV Shows as it looks too scripted. One big recommendation just watch this show to see Chris D'Elia who will not fail to impress you if you are not much of a fan of Him. All in all I appreciate the show now everyone has their tastes.. I like the comedy in here sometimes it looks like they try to hard but as always Chris is there to save the day. I really have become a big fan of his, give it a try!

Now in its second season (I did not watch the first), "Undateable" is a show with an unusual conceit: not only is the action live, but the actors acknowledge that, and the show centers on that fact. The actors interact with the audience. Cameras show the audience in the studio. They have a live band that interacts with the actors and the audience. In short, the concept of "breaking" while in character is not only acceptable, but encouraged.

I have seen criticisms in the posts saying that such breaking is "amateurish". Well, this is a comedy; it's not like they are performing "Hamlet". And when it's intentional, it's not amateurish.

I have attended many plays, both amateur and professional. Some of the funniest moments I have seen onstage involved actors breaking character and embracing or enchancing the humor in the situation. What's interesting is that it happens (almost) exclusively with professionals. Amateurs are not secure enough to take the risk. So it's not amateurish.

That being said, this show is not for everyone, because not everyone will appreciate that conceit. It can come across as too cute if not controlled, which is where the director comes in.

In "Undateable", they even have recognizable guests who play "themselves".

And they sometimes treat their fellow actor as both the character and as the actor playing that character.

For me, this is like attending a play, keeping the immediacy and the risk of a live performance.

The show was funny already but adding the "Live" factor really makes this show have a feel of the old Carol Burnett when Harvey Korman could not contain his laughter in the scenes.

Clearly, at least to me, Ron Funches is the star of the show. His character becoming bigger than life with his Southern Belle quality and witty zingers left and right. The other characters pale in comparison to him. Although the two lead actors, Chris D'Elia and Brent Morin are a delight when they interact.

However, the entire ensemble lends something to the show. Every character unique, flawed and funny. Add to that the merry go round of "special guest stars" to the show and the show hits all the right spots. This should be a Friday night staple for years to come. It's Cheers, Carol Burnett and Saturday Night Live all rolled into one.

I turned this show on when there was nothing else going on and I didn't have the best expectations. It's pretty funny though! I watched the four episodes that were On Demand and I will be watching it more. The live aspect of it brings in fun, unscripted moments. Having a music guest is neat, especially when they throw them in the scene. I like most of the characters, and their relationships to one another. The writing seems like it could be cringe worthy but it's endearing. If the writing stays on point, it has the potential to be one of those shows you put on in the background while doing other things (Friends, HIMYM, Sex and the City).

Chris does a wonderful job in leading the underlieing story along with the chemistry with the charaters throught the season.
