The brainchild of Ricky Blitt, Romantically Challenged is an engaging package of humor and drama. Its airing journey took off on ABC on April 19, 2010 and comprised of four episodes. Set in Pittsburgh, the show involves sizzling Alyssa Milano as the lead actress.
Its rib-tickling storyline revolves around Rebecca, who has not enjoyed the warm feeling of companionship, since a very long time. She has been leading a lackluster life of a divorced single mom. With the passage of time, her confidence with men has worn out and she is completely clueless about dating.
The show is a dual-presentation of her life as an able mother and primary bread winner of her family. Rebecca’s growing intention to re-invite dating into her life remains highly evident in all the episodes. She goes as far as seeking advice from her friends to somehow ignite the spark of romance. At last, someone does intrude her life, but is he the right guy for her?
The talent-rich star cast of Romantically Challenged, showcases popular names like Alyssa Milano (played Rebecca Thomas), Kyle Bornheimer (Perry Gill), Josh Lawson (Shawn Goldwater) and Kelly Stables (Lisa Thomas).
Milano disclosed the creator’s main attention behind basing the show in Pittsburgh. While throwing light on this topic, she said that Blitt is a big admirer of Pittsburgh Penguins and wanted to present the whole story in a “small-town city”. Moreover, director Burrows, was also in favor of filming the shown in Pittsburgh, as his previous experience of shooting in this city had been absolutely satisfying.
During its short run, Romantically Challenged managed to get high positions in the overall viewership chart.
