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.
