New VH-1 Show- Can’t Get a Date

I don’t know how VH-1 manages to target my demographic so well. Every show on VH-1’s lineup is like CrackTV to me. New on Friday Nights is a clever and cute show called “Can’t Get a Date.”

“Can’t Get a Date” profiles normal every day people that can’t seem to well… get a date. These people have annoying problems that make them undatable at worst, and social misfits at best. The show also features a narrator that interacts in real time with the people, providing real-time tips on what works, and what doesn’t when it comes to dating. It works very well and comes off as a humorous how-to guide for the viewers on how to not be a troglodyte on the dating scene.

This week’s season premiere featured Morgan, a misfit toymaker who turns off women all the time with his rudeness, his grubby clothes, and general obnoxiousness. He goes through a series of makeovers, fitting him with proper glasses, a good haircut, new clothes and lots of good sound advice from the narrator, and he scores a charming lady by the end of the episode.

Its like a mini-Cinderella story every week, with the Narrator as the omnipresent fairy godmother.
