Mixology

Am I the only one who liked this for its original concept? We follow 5 single guys and 5 single girls, single for varied reasons, over the course of one night for 13 episodes, and follow their interactions with each other. The show is not without its flaws (for me: the unsympathetic way one of the characters leaves another hanging at the end), but there's plenty of fun to watch. Loved the 'dork gets pushed to get over heartbreak'-arc despite cliches, maybe because it was so recognisable for me.

I think there was a lot of potential with this cast and this idea, but something just didn't quite come together right with it. I think if some things had been different this show could have been great.

The "gag" with this one, as it were, was that it was an ensemble romcom modeled after 24, with all the episodes set back-to-back in real time over a single night. Ambitious, but unfortunately not funny at all. Also, one of the main characters vomited, did NOT go home to use mouthwash or brush his teeth, then just continued through the rest of the season, apparently enjoying the night and romancing ladies with the taste of vomit on his tongue the whole time. Gross, gross, goddamn gross.
