I've only watched one episode of NBC's Friday night sitcom UNDATEABLE, so I am not going to claim to be an expert on the deep, emotional lives of Danny, Justin, and the rest of their undateable friends. However, that one episode that I watched was an episode that was broadcast live last May. Yes the show was sucked me in with an obvious, attention-grabbing gimmick, but it was a gimmick that I found to be very interesting. Not only did the idea call back to the early days of television, where, by the constraints of technology, all shows had to be broadcast live, but it also opened up the door for legitimate comedic improv, that you can't see anywhere else on TV. Also, as someone who loves theatre as much as I love TV, this brought a new form of live entertainment into people's homes.
