On October 2nd NBC will air A to Z. This is the complete story of Andrew and Zelda’s dating history. I caught the pilot episode online. Overall the show was good. Andrew (Ben Feldman) works for a online dating company who’s boss cares more about monthly subscriptions than people finding their true love. Andrew believes in destiny and meets Zelda (Cristin Milioti) when she comes to his office which just happens to be across the office park from her office. He friends her on Facebook and uses his social connection to ask her out. He realizes during the date that Zelda was the destiny girl that got away at a concert. She tells him it wasn’t her when it was….mayhem ensues.
Feldman (a young Scott Baio) and Milioti have great chemistry. I’m not sure if I have enough patience though to stick with this show for their 8 month courtship though. The script is good, though not great, needs to be beefed up a bit. A cubicle worker and a lawyer show is not that creative. I need to know what makes them both special. I’ll give it a few episodes before I tune out.
