Back in 1992, Fox did the unthinkable and aired all live episodes during the second season of Roc. Now 23 years later, NBC will be doing the same thing with their only returning sitcom Undateable. That’s right for Undateable’s third season Chris D’Elia, Brent Morin, Bianca Kajlich, Ron Funches, Rick Glassman, David Flynn and Bridgit Mendler will do what they did on Tuesday night and go live for every episode.
No matter what religion you are, please pray for Kajlich, Flynn and Mendler because they are going to need them to get through those 13 episodes with D’Elia, Funches, Glassman and Morin. Also pray for Bill Lawrence and Adam Sztykiel, they might currently be the best looking television producers out there in the TV world with their full heads of hair, but after next season they might have a whole new look.
Seriously, if any sitcom could handle going live, it is Undateable. They have the best team to handle the pressure and bring the craziness week and week.
Now I get what Bill Lawrence was talking about when he told me last week that the network’s President Robert Greenblatt loves live television. This was probably always in the cards and I am glad Greenblatt played this hand.
Lastly, NBC also renewed The Mysteries of Laura and Night and Night Shift.
