Just saw the whole season (except 1 episode) - absolutely loved it! It's such a shame they didn't pick it up. Was done 5 years ago but does not seem dated at all. Whilst I agree that towards the end the stories were getting a little tired, possibly redundant, it's still so much more entertaining than newer dramedy shows we have today that actually get picked up for a second season! Alicia was just great. She lights up every scene that she's in and brings a very refreshing feel to the whole show. Great support as well - Lake Bell, Ryan O'Neal, even David Conrad and James Roday - the characters were great, some more developed than others. Even the guest stars were great - charisma Carpenter of Buffy/Angel fame! Every one held their own.

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.

This show is sort of what "Clueless" would be like ten years after ... after all Cher was the lovable/cute daughter of a lawyer, had the potential to be one in her own right, and was the master of matchmaking (while not being as lucky in love herself).Kate is a lovable/cute daughter of a lawyer, in fact she is a (divorce) lawyer herself (in her dad's firm), has a gift for matchmaking (thus the title), but is not as lucky in love herself. Ryan O'Neal plays her womanizing dad. And, the show will likely have various guest stars with stories to tell and matches to be made.The first episode was promising ... fun, romantic, and cute. Kate doesn't quite get the cynical world of divorce attorneys, which might get a bit annoying, since this is a bit clueless, isn't it? Still, especially given its core competition ("Joan of Arcadia"), the show has charm to spare, and Alicia Silverstone is great in the lead. Why not? She played this character already in her best role, Cher is "Clueless." And, though some might compare the two, she seems a bit more together than Ally McBeal.I don't know how it will holdup (especially given it's hour length) over the long haul, but I'm routing for this show.-j

Miss Match is light and fun, and touches just enough on serious themes (like fear of being alone) so the show isn't entirely superficial. Alicia Silverstone is very appealing and likable. Some of the supporting cast is a bit weak, but overall the show is surprisingly good.
