Kate Fox (Alicia Silverstone) is a matrimonial attorney who accidentally becomes a matchmaker. Lake Bell plays her best friend, and Ryan O'Neal plays her disapproving father.I love both Alicia Silverstone and Lake Bell. They always seem to me to be really smart girls who could play dumb. This is simply yet another traditional hot-single-girl-who-can't-keep-a-man sitcom. Although I found the characters likable, I can't help but feel that they were too superficial. I guess they were trying to keep the L.A. feel.

I, like many on IMDb, was shocked and severely disappointed when this excellent, and ultimately TV-too-good-for-TV show was cancelled by NBC. However, I am thankful for 2 things: First-I was smart enough to tape each episode (on ep mode however) because Alicia is my most FAVORITE actress and my #1 crush since I was 13, and Second-the W network here in Canada is airing the entire series run, including the originally unaired episodes. Now that I have a PVR and a DVD burner, I plan to digitally record each episode, chuck my old cassettes, and have the next-best-thing to an official release. I just watched an episode for the first time in a while and I am pleasantly reminded how cool, breezy and sexy the show was. I would love to see it turned into a movie with the original cast returning. That would be great!

I loved that show. I was waiting to see when it was next on and then nothing. I thought it was great, great actors and the weekly stories were just great escapism and funny too. The music was fab and it was something I looked forward to every week. I think ABC were sorely mistaken when they cancelled this, it should have had at least another season to see where it would go. Plenty of shows had more than one season that have not been worth watching. I totally agree with the previous comments. What a great shame. The idea of the matchmaker was a new concept alongside the whole lawyer thing and was good fun to watch. Even my boyfriend got into it. Although maybe Alicia Silverstone had something to do with that.

When "Miss Match" premiered in America, the smart money was on the series defeating its freshman competition "Joan of Arcadia" - with Alicia Silverstone back in good-hearted romantic mode and Darren Star behind the scenes, it couldn't fail up against the more dubious-sounding premise of a troubled teenage girl who has conversations with God. (LivingTV certainly seems to think so; they've bought both shows, but "Miss Match" is now airing weekly in prime time whereas "Joan of Arcadia" will be airing in June, stripped across weekday afternoons a la "Everwood.") Flashforward to March, and Amber Tamblyn's series has not only clobbered it in the Stateside ratings but also already secured a second year; unfortunately it's all too easy to see why.It's refreshing to see something from Darren Star that isn't flavoured "bitter" - unlike "Sex and the City" and the dreadful "The $treet," this series benefits from having a lead character you don't want to kill, although the once and forever Cher Horovitz suffers from having a supporting cast that, apart from Lake Bell as her sexy single bartender friend, could either be better used (especially Ryan O'Neal as her more traditionally lawyer-ish dad) or just plain better (most of the others). Sweet-tempered though it is, it's not funny or dramatic enough to really work; and how much mileage can the writers really get from the lawyer-to-all-and-better-at-other-matches-than-her-own thing? (Then again, look how long "Three's Company" ran with just one plot.)Easy to watch, and Alicia is as adorable as ever (though admit it, it's her friend who should be really beating them off), but I wouldn't get attached to it. Still, at least it's better than "Braceface." And "Sex and the City." And, in the case of Ryan O'Neal, infinitely better than "Love Story."
