Weird Loners - Tuesdays at 9:30PM ET/PT on Fox
Premieres Tuesday, March 31, 2015 at 9:30PM ET/PT

Weird Loners is a new single-camera comedy about four relationship-challenged mid-30-somethings who are unexpectedly thrust into one another’s lives, forming unlikely bonds in a Queens, NY, townhouse. Starring Becki Newton (Ugly Betty), Zachary Knighton (Happy Endings), Nate Torrence (Hello Ladies) and newcomer Meera Rohit Kumbhani, the series explores the lives of these underdogs who, each for his/her own distinct reasons, are solo singles when most of their peers are well along the path of marriage and family.

"If you're expecting a funny comedy about lovelorn, pal-challenged oddballs, ratchet down your expectations," says Jeff Jenson. "Part of the problem with Weird Loners is that it doesn't have the guts to give us nuts worthy of the title. There are flickers of reality in them, but they're mostly pale shimmers of old "Friends" and other TV people." PLUS: It's middle-of-the-road fare, it's not as interesting as its title, and it stands out as a "rom-less com."

It was surprisingly decent for a FOX comedy (they barely click with me), unfortunately it's a six-episode affair with terrible debut ratings...

I wanted to see this one but missed it.

This is a dumb show with a dumb title, no offense, IMO!

i've been watching the show, it is pretty bad but it has had a few funny moments

there is no way FOX picks this up for any more episodes.
