NBC cancels Undateable



Well, the live experiment didn't work the way NBC was hoping for.

NBC has announced that it's cancelling Undateable after three seasons.The series created by Adam Sztykiel and executive produced by Bill Lawerence. The show set around a group of friends at a bar dealing with life and relationship.

Starring Chris D'Elia, Brent Morin, David Fynn, Rich Glassman, Ron Funches, Bianca Kajich and Bridgit Mendler. The series was based on Ellen Rakieten and Anne Coyle's book "Undateable: 311 Things Guys Do That Guarantee They Won't Be Dating or Having Sex.

The series was the number one summer hit in 2014 on Thursday nights. It was renewed and placed after The Voice on Tuesday night. They decided to do a live episode that sparked ratings up and when it was renewed for a third season the network wanted them to do all episodes live as they were placed on Friday nights.

This was one of the shows I was hoping it would be picked up. The cast has been nothing but hilarious and the addition of Mendler in the second season was great. The live episodes was like watching improv theater right in your own home. It got a lot of buzzed on twitter.

If you haven't seen the series I would recommend watching it. Go to NBC.com, iTunes or Google Play. The third season was it's best.

Church's Puppets: Friday Night Comedy


Undateable "A Puppet Walks into the Bar"

This live show was a lot interesting than last week's episode thanks due to the puppets.

When Leslie's boyfriend ask Justin to help him propose to Leslie, Justin gets everyone involved including Danny. They plan in by using puppets of themselves (how freakin cool!!!!) but when it came time, Leslie tells Danny that he might not be the one and freaked out Danny.

Danny to fix it with Justin it just made it worst. I know Danny is trying to be the brother that he can be. But I have to say that it was hilarious when Justin and Danny came back to the bar and told Leslie that they just fixed it again and made it a whole lot worst.

But at the end, they made up by using their puppets and give them a puppet hug.

I enjoyed this episode so much. They look way better than watching that new series The Muppets. I enjoyed Shelly and Candice's puppets along with Danny who not only had his puppet show his chest but had to make his own shirt pop out again.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch Undateable Friday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

Truth Be Told "Psychic Chicken" 

When Sadie hears the word death, heaven and church, Mitch and Tracy acts quickly to figure out how to explain what all those are but it doesn't quiet go the way they want it. Also Mitch's sister comes to visit and brings her boyfriend, a psychic.

I have to give performers all around for to almost the entire cast members in this episode. Lachey was also stunning as well. She quiet hasn't deal with the lost of her grandfather who had died years later and tries to say thanks to him with the help of the psychic. And also explaining to Sadie about heaven and death since she learned watch church and death means when not only from Russell and Angie but from the school teacher as well.

It's great to see Ashley Tisdale, who plays Mitch's younger sister and ask him for a loan even though she owns him a lot. They are complete opposite of each other but funny to watch when they glop down ice cream after tonight's event.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch Truth Be Told Friday nights at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

A Treat Unlike Any Other: Friday Night Comedy


Undateable "Halloween Walks Into a Bar"

This Halloween episode of Undateable had all the tricks and treats to fill that sweet tooth of comedy. When Danny makes a case that Justin is too romantic with Candice, it gets him upset even though he's in love with her.

Talk about the hug toll and rubbing her shoulders in bed whisper "I'm still here." Justin gets advice from Danny and the gang, and gets him to dress up as a superhero to face Candice of her little chat. As Justin faces Candice, she expresses her feelings about how annoying he is with certain things but not a moment later that she expressed that she's in love with him.

This episode was a very good and yummy treat. I loved each cast members costumes from Danny as a horny horse, Brett as Captain Smith from Titanic, Adam as the Jewish Wolverine with some heath issues and Shelly as Winnie the Pooh. The funniest scene was when Justin answered the trick or treaters and it turned out to be the gang and Shelly spots apples and toothbrushes and that he's going to burn the his place to the ground and dumps the bowl.

And a surprise guest appears which I believe Whitney Cummings came on as Danny's love interest, dressing up in the same outfit as him.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Undateable Friday nights at 8/7c on NBC.


Truth Be Told "Big Black Coffee"

When a babysitting job turns horribly wrong, is it best for the babysitter, who's male, to tell them what had happen?

When Mitch decides to babysit not only his kid but the neighbor's kid too, the situation goes from wild to uncanny when he takes them to Russel's house. There the neighbor's kid comes into a bathroom where Russel so happens to be taken a shower seeing everything.

That got everyone upset in what to do with this situation. They choice not to tell so it lead to the neighbor's own babysitter to be fired.

Meanwhile with that situation going, Tracy is trying to put on a great birthday party for her little girl that the moms can enjoy. She had a plan but the plan backfired and almost turned out too be bad until Russel comes out dressing up as the mascot from the frozen yogurt that he was auditioning for until his pants ripped and showed his little carrot around the kids.

This episode was hilarious. Probably better than last week's episode. I can't get enough of Paul and Vanessa, they are amazing together. They used the phrase BBC which means a totally different term than just British Broadcasting Company not to mention that I'm still trying to figure out what CSPAN would mean.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Truth Be Told Friday nights at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

Cuddle and Bundle: Friday Night Comedy




Undateable LIVE "A Truth Hug Walks Into a Bar"

When the truth comes out about Shelly's living situation, Justin intervenes and gets Danny to help.

Tonight's episode was good but it felt more like a regular episode, not a lot of guest but there were plenty of humor and a performance during the intro by Saint Motel. 

Throughout the episode each cast member was given each one a meaning of their names like Justining meaning ruining things, Brett making a small issue into a big and an emotional issue. And of course, Shelly's truth hug, which you should keep away from, soft and cuddly but deadly. 

I will say that Chris and Brett performed outstandingly in this episode. When Danny and Justin working together to tell Shelly what happen in the robbery. The two were just working off one another like butter. I enjoyed it very much.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

You can catch Undateable LIVE Friday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

Truth Be Told "Adult Content" 

Tonight's episode deals with lying and sharing. All of which seems hilarious in this episode.

When Russel has tickets to a porn award show and wants to invite Mitch and the guys to come. Mitch talks to Tracy about it and gets her approval. That's until the print on the invite that has an after party that gives Tracy some thoughts like did he lie to her about it.  And Angie gets upset with Russel when she's sees someone tweeting a pic of their boobs on to his twitter as she's on his account.

I don't think that Mitch lied to Tracy about the after party because if you go to an award show there is an after party. And I wouldn't want my significant other's password unless they want to tell me what it is. I respect that others need a bit of privacy (I know I'm a fool).

This episode was good. I can't get enough of this cast, both of them are just hilarious and have chemistry. I can't get enough of Lachey and Bell's characters along with Gosselaar and Webb.

My favorite scene in the episode was when Mitch gets a call from Tracy while he and the guys were having dinner. When he told her that he'll come home, Jim breaks down because Jim doesn't want to go home. Mitch lied and broke Jim .

Not to mention that at the end of the episode, when Angie and Russel were too busy to go to the awards, Mitch brought Tracy and the guys were freaked out about it until she starts yelling out "PORN PORN PORN!!!" which was hilarious as well.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

You can catch Truth Be Told Friday nights at 8:30/7:30c on NBC.

"Take Me to Church" and Find a Good Time: Friday Night Comedy


Undateable "A Rock and Hard Place Walk Into a Bar"

Week 2 of Undateable Live season continues with some surprises and even coming up with a catch phrase.

Justin and Candace's relationship gets more serious when none of them want to walk away from each other. They're relationship does interfere with Danny when he brings a lady to his place. Candace as Candace likes to do talk and make things a bit worst and soon Danny's date leaves because he couldn't remember her name.

Danny tells Justin that Candace needs to but out at times when he has someone. It gets into a battle between to people that Justin loves, Danny and Candace. At times, Danny and Candace were insulting each other, and at times were very hilarious. One of them Danny tells Candace that she wasn't the star of the hit Disney series "Good Luck Charlie" that it was the parents. Very hurtful but funny.

And of course there was one scene when Danny and Justin were fighting but it was just the two of them that they're going to hit with whatever they name their fists or foot. Like for Justin called his two fist Marvin and Gay and that they're about to bring it on. Danny called his foot that he's about to kick Ron Fudge.

Soon Danny and Candace talked and made up. But they had to get Justin to forgive them by singing Summer Nights from Grace and it turned into one of the hilarious group moments.

Throughout the episode Shelly tries to come up with a catch phrase like other television series. He comes up with "Take it to Church" and it was sound a lot shown by his hoodie and even said out loud from the audience.

The cast have made fun of how the show is live. Like last week, they said that no one should watch a show later that they should watch it live. Shelly turns on the television in this episode and sees himself, than the audience and even Sarah Chalke from Scrubs in her character's doctor coat. They do make fun of Scrubs too. HEll, I thought Scrubs ended after 7 seasons.

I enjoyed this episode so much. I believe that this episode gave a lot more for Bridge Mendler's character a lot to do and said a lot more. I enjoyed watching her and Chris going at it.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10

Truth Be Told "Pilot" 

"Truth Be Told" is a new series from the creator DJ Nash. The series is about two diverse couples that live next door and are best friends. You had me at best friends, but anyway the show is focus on conversations/discussions on everyday life.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar plays Mitch and Vanessa Lachey plays Tracy, Mitch's wife. They are a married couple with a little girl. Their friends Angie and Russell, played by Tone Bell and Bresha Webb are a married couple without any children.

Mitch and Russell deals with how at a Chinese restaurant that the lady that gave them their order, probably doesn't speak Chinese. Russell tries speak it by saying thank you and the lady doesn't respond.

Russel deals with an issue when Angie, who got tickets for a Jay-Z concert, is getting them from her ex-boyfriend. But when her ex text her back, Russell looks into and asked the question should you look into your significant other's text? I wouldn't think so, if there's nothing to hide.

As Mitch and Tracy planned to go to the concert, they need to find a babysitter and they took one from the neighbor that has more kids every time they come home they say. The issue with this babysitter is that she's a bit of a hot one as in beautiful.

Tracy doesn't think its an issue at first but it kind a does with the rest. Mitch seems to get intermediate from the sitter. But when Russell thinks that he's seen her somewhere, it turns out to be online as a porn star.

Playing cool about it and not tell the girls, Mitch spells it just before they get even leave the drive way. They stopped and check it out, Tracy and Angie couldn't tell until the sitter actually came out and asked why they were watching her. So I guess it isn't a good idea to hire a hot babysitter.

I enjoyed this cast and their characters. This is like the first time I've seen Gosselaar in a comedy since Save By the Bell. He's hilarious and very good. I like how he was singing to Jay-Z's Empire State of Mind by Russell tells him that there's one part that he shouldn't sing so instead he sing the Alicia Key's verse which was hilarious.

Lachey and Webb are so hilarious as well. Lachey is amazing and hilarious. I can't wait to see what else her character and the rest will be doing this season.

Overall, I give this episode a 7/10.

Undateable "A Will They Walks into a Bar"/"A Won't They Walks Into a Bar" Season Premiere LIVE


The new season of Undateable premiere tonight anything can happen because well, it's freakin LIVE.

The series did a Live show last season and it was such a huge hit that NBC thought it would do well by doing an entire season live. I for one love the idea. I believe that this show can sustain.

Just to let you know that this recap is based on the airing of the East Coast.

Well, in the season premiere Candace and Justin are about to become a couple. Everyone else in the group seems to have someone expect for Danny, who makes a mock and gets Candace thinking that her and Justin shouldn't really be a couple.  The reason why is that Danny doesn't have anyone to be with.

There's a ton of breakout moments from the introduction of the cast in the studio audience, the calling of Danny's cell phone after Justin read out load the real number, the truth battles, the fight/kiss of Bianca Kajilich and Scott Foley.

But Danny comes and chewbacca to Justin of what he's done. Danny comes around and gets Justin and Candace back and now they are together a couple.

Overall, I give this episode 10/10.  You don't know what's going to happen. The story is written but there are some improv that I enjoy so much from the cast.

The Men and Honor: Tuesday Night Comedy & Drama




Undateable "A Live Show Walking Into the Bar" 

ER, The West Wing, Will & Grace, 30 Rock, and now Undateable is part of the history of shows to do a live episode. But it was a first for a sitcom to air a whole hour's worth, and it wasn't a disappointing hour.

Justin, still upset about his ex-girlfriend getting married, outcomes in Amanda (Victoria Justice), and soon he and Henny fight over each other to go out with her. Plus, Candice tries to stand her ground on her ex-boyfriend. 

It was one of the most hilarious episodes in a long time. I think they surpassed the number of guest stars that 30 Rock has had. Not only Justice makes a camo, but Ed Sheeran, Zach Braff, Donald Fusion, Kate Walsh, Minnie Driver, Christa Miller, Scott Foley, and many, many more. 

There are significant insult bits between Danny and Justin. Even when Danny acted like a wombat over Justin to prove he couldn't get Amanda to go out with him. It was soon that Danny would walk and sound like a wombat which also meant that he pretended to throw poop at Justin, not once but twice. 

There were great moments, like seeing Braff and Fusion together again. Ed is performing, but Justin kicks him out; I didn't realize. Ed got upset, and soon, Ed fans came out and slapped Justin for what he did to Ed.

But it was seeing Justice and Bridgit together and singing the song "Undateable" at the end, which was just amazing. 

This episode did have an arc to it that will be discussed in next week's episode: Candice might have feelings for Justin. Uh oh!!!

You can catch the one-hour season finale of Undateable next Tuesday at 9/8c on NBC.


Chicago Fire "Category 5"

This week's episode of Chicago Fire deals with an accusation of a Squad member ducking during a call. That has gotten a separation between both Truck and Squad.  

With Otis's accusation about Rice ducking during a season, Severide isn't too pleased about what's been going on. Later, things became the way it was when we first saw this group of firefighters after the death of their own. 

There was a separation between them that you see in high school. But I think that after Severide and Casey talked to Boden about it, it didn't quite go as it did under Casey's view when Severide agreed that he should take more control of it. 

Boden did get to talk to Otis about it but asked him if he needed a vacation. Otis tells him no, but then Boden lets him have it with him having a gut feeling about a firefighter ducking calls.

Severide did confront Rice about it, and now that friendship between them is gone.

In the meantime, Casey gets a gift from Jake, who hopes he returns and agrees to do some business. The best gift came when Voight stopped by to ask Casey for help to get some information about Jake. Voight has info that Jake is in some illegal trafficking. 

At first, Casey was like, hell no, but after Dawson talked to him about it. He agrees, and I hope to let the past be the past between Voight and him. 

Just as he agrees, he takes a cell phone that Mouse gives him, and as soon he sees one of Jake's girls with a worried look. Casey sees Jake and is introduced to the guys. But before any talks, one guy asks to see his cell phone, which goes black screen. 

Next week is the season finale of Chicago Fire, which is the one not to miss. From what the promo shows, it will be a jaw-dropping episode. I don't think anyone will die because that's what one of the producers said in an interview.

You can catch the season finale of Chicago Fire next Tuesday at 10/9c on NBC.

The Bucky and The Wecked: Tuesday Night Comedies





Undateable: "A Priest Walks Into a Bar"


This week's episode deals with two things: getting a job and wanting more than a booty call.

It starts with Danny, who has been tweeting out stuff that suck and not suck on twitter, is set up a job interview by the help of his sister, Leslie. But Danny doesn't want to do it because he's a bit scared. Justin challenges him to do it. And soon Danny takes that challenge.

It's not until after Leslie sets up everything that Justin apologizes to Danny for what he had said of challenging him of getting the job. That led Danny to not go and upset Leslie who gave a choke hold on Justin for her thanks.

But Justin gets Danny a second interview and brings the guy to the bar where he talks to Danny. Danny soon realized that it's a job interview and get's upset but after listening to Justin's story of how he wanted to be Mr. Von Trapp in Sound of Music but got the part of the younger girl. That set Danny to go for the interview and soon got the job.

Meanwhile, probably one of the funniest B-storyline in the show so far is when Shelly has been seeing this lady name Vanessa. It's not a relationship but a one night stand, a booty call. Candice doesn't like it and talks to Shelly about it that he should pursue Vanessa into a relationship.

After Shelly tricked Candice with a fake booty call, mixing with Love Actually and Hugh Grantt that got Candice all soft and distracted. Soon Shelly left to go for that booty call. Then Candice stopped Shelly and soon got him to ask Vanessa to come to the bar and ask for more than a booty call. Vanessa refused but then text for him to came at midnight. Shelly declined.

Even though, Shelly didn't like it, it was for the best and with Candice trying to make things better by telling him a story of her and mother being homeless and having a friend to see that was her own reflection.


This episode was hilarious. A lot of funny Matrix references all over and at the end Danny dresses up as Neo and Shelly comes in dress as Morpheus. I couldn't stop laughing after that.


You can catch Undatebale Tuesday nights at 9/8c on NBC.






One Big Happy: "A Tale of Two Hubbies"

In one of the wackiest and funniest episodes so far. This week's episode of One Big Happy deals with the fact that Luke and Prudence weren't actually married when they were in Vegas.

The gang went to Vegas for the weekend and when they stopped at the place where Luke and Prudence got married it turned out to be a fake place for the mod. Which means that they aren't married and Prudence will soon be deported if she isn't married.

So that gives Lizzy an idea to through a prefect wedding and had an idea to bring Prudence's dad over too. That turned out to be a bad idea. It turns out that Martin isn't Prudence's father but her husband. Yeah, Prudence married him. The only reason was for his last name because her actual last name is a name that I couldn't even spell or pronounce.

So Lizzy, Luke and Prudence try to get Martin to sign the papers. Luke failed as Martin is such a fast British talker. Things too a turn when they brought Martin back home and drunk as hell. Lizzy tries to get him to sign the papers and the next morning, he turns out to love Lizzy than Prudence.

Luke than ask Lizzy to take one for the team but she not for that team. So Lizzy pretends like him very much and got him to sign the papers. But she tells him that he signed divorce papers for a lesbian and then that got Martin excited and called his buddies.

Meanwhile, as that heated up another heats up in the kitchen when Luke heard that Prudence and Martin got married after being together for three days. That got Luke thinking that maybe Prudence doesn't love him at all and she's doing it just to stay in the states. Soon Luke leaves in what was a dramatic fashion that I haven't seen on the show and it was one of the best.

Than we come to Lizzy and Marin, as he told her that he doesn't do any work and there shouldn't be no kids. That got Lizzy to tell him that she might be pregnant and pulls out a pregnancy test but he leaves as fast as he could.

That leaves to Prudence come to Lizzy, fully upset and hugging that Luke is gone. Lizzy than tries to bring some tension down with a couple of humor, which worked in my opinion.

I enjoyed this episode very much. There were so many one liners that I couldn't pick. I really enjoyed that we got some emotional scene with Luke being upset. That was really good. Lizzy once again brings the humor along with Prudence and their friends.

I assume that we'll find out this Tuesday of what will happen.

You can catch One Big Happy Tuesday nights at 9:30/8:30c on NBC.
