a brand new six part series starting on RT\u00c92, Monday, 14th October at 9.30pm which follows young singletons from across the country who are stuck in a merry-go-round of bad dates and dating apps. Jaded with swiping left or right, ghosting and disastrous dates, these singletons are taking drastic action and handing over the reins to their parents to give their dating profiles a full make-over to crack the cupid conundrum. Parents of lovelorn millennials will roll up their sleeves to give their little angels’ dating profiles an old fashioned overhaul, replacing saucy selfies with something more becoming in order to find them suitable suitors. As well as a crash course in emojis, the parents will look to the more traditional routes to find their loved ones a date. Will a small ad in the Farmers Journal be just the ticket? What about the talent at the local GAA club or does one of the neighbors have a niece just home from Australia?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

In the world of reality TV, a genre that often thrives on the unexpected and the outrageous, there’s a show that has managed to carve out its niche by blending the universal quest for love with a unique twist. “Pulling with My Parents,” which first aired in 2019, is a show that takes the familiar format of dating reality TV and turns it on its head by involving a factor many of us can relate to: our parents.<\/p>\n

The Premise<\/h2>\n

At its core, the premise of “Pulling with My Parents” is both simple and audacious. Single participants, tired of the modern dating scene, hand over control of their dating apps and love lives to their parents. The goal? To see if mom and dad can succeed where their children have failed – finding true love, or at the very least, a decent date.<\/p>\n

Why It Works<\/h2>\n

Relatability<\/h3>\n

One of the show’s strongest suits is its relatability. Who hasn’t felt the generational divide when discussing dating with their parents? The show taps into this universal experience, creating moments of comedy, empathy, and sometimes, surprising insight.<\/p>\n

The Generational Clash<\/h3>\n

A significant part of the show’s appeal lies in the clash of generations. Watching parents navigate the world of Tinder, Bumble, and other dating apps is as hilarious as it is enlightening. The show serves as a mirror to the changing norms and practices of dating, highlighting how much has changed since the parents were on the dating scene.<\/p>\n

Unexpected Wisdom<\/h3>\n

While it’s easy to expect the parents’ attempts at matchmaking to be out of touch or misguided, the show often surprises us. Many episodes reveal that, despite the generational differences, the parents’ advice and choices can be spot on. This blend of humor and heartfelt moments is a key reason why viewers keep coming back.<\/p>\n

Standout Moments<\/h2>\n

“Pulling with My Parents” is filled with memorable moments that range from cringe-worthy to genuinely touching. Here are a few that stand out:<\/p>\n
