Season 1

Romantically Challenged is an American television comedy series created by Ricky Blitt and produced by Bonanza Productions, Candy Bar Productions and Warner Bros. Television about four friends trying to find love and happiness while navigating their way through today's tricky world of dating.

The series aired in the USA on ABC from 19 April to 17 May, 2010. Only four episodes aired before the show was cancelled and removed from the schedule. There are six half-hour episodes in total.

Romantically Challenged premiered in South Africa on DStv's Vuzu channel on Friday 10 December 2010, at 19h00. New episodes broadcast weekly.

Synopsis

Smart and beautiful Rebecca is recently divorced after 15 years of marriage. Having never really dated before she was married - and not having been on a date since Clinton was in office - she finds it scary to start over now.

Although a gifted mom and lawyer, she is clueless about dating and hopes to get some help from her equally romantically challenged friends.

Perry is Rebecca's best friend since childhood. He is a rugged man's man and a tremendously successful financial planner - but also one of Pittsburgh's most sensitive hopeless romantics.

When it comes to matters of the heart, Perry is a romance-aholic who falls in love with women 20 minutes after meeting them. After 40 minutes, he's already naming their future children.

A struggling novelist, the witty and affable Shawn has been Perry's best friend and rent-free roommate for six years.

Shawn is the emotionally unavailable cynic to Perry's hopeless romantic. He has never had a relationship more serious than a three-night stand - and even those send him running for the door.

Rounding out the group is Rebecca's petite baby sister, Lisa. Behind her deceptively sweet appearance is a sassy pit bull ready to protect her older sister. Although a nurturing kindergarten teacher, she has a wild side too, and sees a "threesome" as "second base."

Will these four romantically challenged friends ever find lasting love? Or even someone who lasts until next Thursday?
