When he moves in, Danny ends up unintentionally adopting Justin's ragtag group of awkward friends as well. Danny decides to put his skill to use and begins a mission to school them in the ways of romancing a date. As the first lesson, he brings them to an event that his sister is hosting. Things seem to be off to a good start, but in the cold light of the following morning, it's clear that Danny has a lot of work ahead of him to make his new friends dateable. Read More Read Less

      TLA R Loved the show I still tell everyone about it! It sucks there's nowhere to really watch it😭. Someone please pick it up 😆 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review FRANCO R Loved this show, sadly it ended before its time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/21 Full Review Audience Member The critics that dismiss this show either 1. Dont enjoy humor. 2. Dont watch more than one episode to at least give it a chance, or 3. Like to get off on writing snarky, negative reviews. Probably all of the above. Either way - this show is fantastic, and I would recommend it to anyone. It's the only thing on NBC worth watching if you want something besides cop/hospital/drama crap. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Mildly enjoyable, with some occasional great one--liners. The characters grow on you, partly because they are odd, strange and even lovable. I continue to enjoy it, even though I really don't like many sitcoms anymore. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I really like Chris D'elia's humor and his stand up. Unfortunately the writing is what disappoints me in this show. I love the characters and the actors and actresses that play them. However, it is the jokes that fall flat. The humor is forced. There is weird awkward dancing and singing that isn't awkward-funny, it is just awkward. The character Justin is just a super sweet nice guy. There is no substance to him. There is always some lesson in each show, too, which dumbs the show down. There should not be a morality lesson in a comedy show if it isn't Disney Channel.

      Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Amid the dated material and the forced efforts to create catchphrases on "Undateable," there is some skill in evidence. Jun 4, 2014 Full Review Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times Do we honestly need another show in which all the men are varying degrees of moronic, especially the wise-cracking, rigorously immature lead? Jun 2, 2014 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Sporadically funny, this Bill Lawrence production is unpretentious, but ultimately tedious. May 29, 2014 Full Review Jessica Johnson Time Out Chicago While it comes out of the gate a bit slow with a premise that feels tired, over the course of several episodes it succeeds in embracing its more unique qualities, blossoming into something far more interesting. Jul 2, 2018 Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media Strong sexual overtones dominate mediocre comedy. Rated: 2/5 Jun 3, 2014 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The summer misses keep on coming as NBC rolls out the disappointing sitcom Undateable, which some viewers will no doubt find unwatchable (sorry, the title begged for it).
