Could I BE more embarrassed? I watched all of last season's 6 episodes of the ABC-TV reality series "Dating In The Dark," and was surprised a network would only order 6 episodes of a show...and bummed that there weren't more... I'm not a reality TV freak... but this... is safe voyeurism in its purest form... not even the people we're watching can see each other...
The Concept? 3 guys, and 3 girls spend a weekend in a special house, separated into two groups, and occasionally, each guy and girl get to go into a pitch black room, to get to know each other... At the end, they get to finally see each other, and then decide whether to date again in the real world in the future... You see more REALITY in this show, than most others.... Guys, like the moron presented in the teaser trailer try to hit on the women, and the women are free to react facially to the nonsense...since no one can see their expressions, but the viewer.... a vital social cue that we don't normally get to see.... I've never watched Big Brother, because it seems like there are just 16 actor wanna-be's who are looking for FAR more than their 15 minutes of fame... Dating ITD seems more genuine.... (ABC TV Monday, Aug. 9 8 p.m.)
