Hooking Up on ABC on Thursday

Tue, 07-12-2005 - 9:24pm

This Thursday July 14 at 9pm, ABC will air a five part documentary series examining online dating.

In the first episode, the focus is on three professional women who reside in Manhattan.

One woman is excited about her date until she meets him in person and discovers that he used a 15 yr old photo for his online profile.

One woman meets a guy who seemed really good on paper - but alas there were no sparks in real life.

One woman's strategy is to remain mysterious online. And...when she reveals some truth about herself to her date...well, he doesn't take it too well.

These women are all hopeful that they will find love and get really excited about the possiblities...even when those hopes are often dashed.

Should be interesting to watch.

From the promos, it looks like a total train wreck, with a number of "OLD don't", but of course I have to watch!

Let me set the "TIVO" so I can check it out. Unfortunately, since it's TV probably most of the folks will be doing all the OLD Don'ts!!!

I'll be watching too. I'm sure they will have rookies at it and they don't know OLD rules so we already know the stuff they don't know, ha! Should be fun, especially the person that posts a photo from 15 years ago or they "he sounded great on paper" but "no sparks in real life"....

Wouldn't it be fun if we had a chat room open during the show for our (snide) remarks? CLs, is this possible?
