Even Adam’s got some hope, though, with Leslie, who is softening to his approach a little with her new haircut in theory, Season 3’s premiere sets up a season where every character finds (or loses) love, all while a very sad man tries to deflect his own desires through deprecating humor and lengthy, hilariously weird dialogues (the conversation about the bullet falling into the water was my single favorite part of the episode). It may not carry through the entire season, but the premiere does not shy away from having a story, even if it’s a fairly bare-bones one, and smartly enough, it revolves around Justin’s hope for the future, and Danny’s eternal loneliness, with the latter trying to sabotage the former’s relationship with Candace, before it even gets started (like true nerds, they were waiting until midnight on a specific day to start dating).Īnd what the story sets up is an interesting premise for the season, in that the title of the show now only applies to two characters, Danny and Adam. That’s really where theÂ UndateableÂ premiere impresses: it certainly plays to the strengths of its performers throughout the hour, but surprisingly, still contains a bit of pathos to give the episode some meaning – and if there’s anything to be lost in this new format ofÂ Undateable, it would be the more focused narrative of Seasons 1 and 2. Constant changes in perspective and a relentless pursuit of audience laughter really keep the pace moving, which helps cover the long gaps in story during parts of the episode. For an hour-long episode, “Will They” and “Won’t They” pulses with energy, even when scenes are just sitting two characters sitting down at the table for a minute. There’s a lot of playing to the audience, live tweeting, Brent Morin giving out Chris’s cell number live on the air every ‘meta’ moment the show can play with, it absolutely does, whether it’s little things like Chris glaring side-eyed into the camera when dropping punch lines, or Brent yelling at the band to make the music in his header a little bit sadder. And in the space between spring’s finale and fall’s premiere,Â UndateableÂ really hasn’t changed much if anything, the two-part live episode that opens the third season provesÂ UndateableÂ not only works live – it actually thrives there.Įverything one would expect from anÂ UndateableÂ live episode is here: there’s Scott Foley returning as a guest star, numerous brief musical interludes, andÂ lotsÂ of Chris D’Elia hamming it up with what appear to be semi-improvised bits. After the success of their live, two-part season finale, NBC did the unthinkable, and turned the entire third season ofÂ UndateableÂ into a live affair, making it the first show to air an entirely live season of television sinceÂ Roc‘s second season on FOX back in 1992.
