FIRST DATES

Everyone can relate to the
experience of a first date: the promise of potential love when it goes
well and the hilariously awkward moments if it crashes and burns. From
executive producer Ellen DeGeneres, narrated by Drew Barrymore and
based on the hit U.K. format, this new series offers a voyeuristic look
at a variety of real first dates happening throughout one night at the
same restaurant in Chicago. The daters are of all ages, backgrounds and
from across the U.S. The audience will be along for the ride in a
refreshingly authentic viewing experience that plays like a real-life
romantic comedy. At the end of each episode, we will find out if the
participants want to see each other again for a second date or if they
head back to love's drawing board.
