What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, The Celebrity Dating Game is hosted by actress Zooey Deschanel and singer-songwriter Michael Bolton. The first season includes Hannah Brown, Nicole Byer, Carson Kressley, Iggy Azalea, Taye Diggs, and Demi Burnett. The series is a modern take on the classic game show but this version features a roster of celebrity singles all trying to find love. Offering the same iconic feel as the original, each episode follows two celebrities who each pick one lucky suitor from a hidden panel of three bachelors and/or bachelorettes based on answers to a variety of questions. In a twist, the celebrity identities remain a mystery to their suitors, who are given clues via parody song performances by Bolton. Is there love in the air?
Season One Ratings
The first season of The Celebrity Dating Game averages a 0.39 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.13 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but the higher-rated series are typically renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.

Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew The Celebrity Dating Game for season two? The network has a wide stable of game shows and they’ve become a staple of ABC’s summer schedule. This series fits well with the rest of the shows (some of which are getting a little long-in-the-tooth) so I’m leaning toward a renewal. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
