Production notes

"The Dating Guy" is a comedy about the single life of twenty-somethings in the city.

Meet Mark, Woody, Sam and VJ. They live in a sort of in-between world. They've finished school and are living on their own, but they haven't settled down yet or even accrued much of a bank account. They're essentially living life day to day. Kind of broke. Kind of directionless.

Each week, one or more of them find themselves exploring the dating world in one way or another. Sometimes it's twins, sometimes it's conjoined twins (which is way less awesome than it sounds), and sometimes it's a shameful night at home with the palm twins.
