I Want Rom-Com TV to Flourish, But ABC’s Manhattan Love Story Is Not Helping …

I would love nothing more than for TV to have a rom-com era, but this is not at all what I wished for. Analeigh Tipton (Crazy, Stupid, Love. and a former Top Model contestant) and Jake McDorman (Greek, R.I.P.) are the fated couple we’re supposed to root for. Dana lusts after purses. Peter lusts after breasts. He is cocky and rude. She is dreamy and naïve. He’s a vague womanizer who lives off Daddy’s money — money earned running a trophy-engraving company, which cannot possibly be the cash cow the show envisions — and is so dismissive to Dana on their first date that she cries. And then she gets the hiccups, a personal quirk so oppressively cutesy, even Taylor Swift’s cat is looking at it and thinking easy does it. Dana’s such a tender flower that she can’t even work a cell phone, always just typing the wrong things into the wrong boxes, garsh darnit, but she’s determined to live her dream and work as a book editor. She tries to buy sexy lingerie, but she mistakes a necklace for a thong. Good luck living an adult life, sister.
