‘Til Death and Everybody Loves Raymond actor Brad Garrett will star in and produced a new online dating series on Sony Pictures Television’s original Web entertainment hub Crackle.com.

The upcoming reality series, Dating Brad Garrett, will see the sitcom veteran go on 10 blind dates with women who have submitted videos of themselves to crackle.com/datebrad. Those videos will be vetted by a panel of experts, including Garrett’s ex-wife and urologist, who will decide which 10 women will get a chance at love with Garrett.

Besides Crackle, Dating Brad Garrett will be syndicated across numerous Web video outlets, including YouTube, AOL Video and Hulu.

For Crackle, which was originally the YouTube-esque Grouper.com until being acquired and then relaunched by Sony last year, Dating is the latest in a growing list of original series. Just last week Sony unveiled a slate of new and upcoming projects for the site, including the gaming/sophmoric-humor-themed The Jace Hall Show as well as Take-Away Shows, a series produced by well known music video director Vincent Moon which will highlight up-and-coming bands.

The 13 episode Jace Hall Show, mixs of interviews with pop culture figures along with goofy stunts such as indoor skydiving, has landed several celebrity guest appearances, including Greg Grunberg from NBC’s Heroes, Zachary Levi from NBC’s Chuck and former That 70’s Show star Wilmer Valderama.
