7 Apr
Summary
- The 2003 NBC series "Miss Match" only aired 11 of 18 produced episodes.
- It starred Alicia Silverstone, with a cast including Nathan Fillion and Lake Bell.
- Darren Star, creator of "Sex and the City," co-created the short-lived show.
In 2003, NBC's romantic comedy series "Miss Match" proved to be a notable misstep, failing to achieve success despite its impressive creative pedigree. The show starred Alicia Silverstone as Kate Fox, a divorce lawyer who also worked as a professional matchmaker. Its co-creator, Darren Star, was already renowned for his work on "Sex and the City," "Beverly Hills 90210," and "Melrose Place."
Despite the star power of Silverstone and a cast that included Ryan O'Neal, Nathan Fillion, and Lake Bell, "Miss Match" struggled in ratings. Of the 18 episodes produced, only 11 were aired in the United States, with the remaining episodes finding their audience in the United Kingdom and Australia. The series concluded after just one season, marking a rare disappointment for its creators and the network.
