I Can't Believe I'm Still Single is a mockumentary-style comedy series that debuted on Showtime in 2008. The show was created, written, directed, and starred in by Eric Schaeffer, who plays a fictionalized version of himself. The series explores the life of a man in his late 40s who is struggling with being single while living in New York City.

The premise of the show revolves around Schaeffer's character attempting to find love while documenting his dating experiences with a handheld camera. The show breaks the fourth wall as Schaeffer speaks directly to the audience, providing commentary on his dating experiences, friends, and family.

Throughout the series, several recurring characters are introduced, including Schaeffer's best friend and roommate, Rusty, played by Bryan Callen, and his sister, Abby, played by Sarah Burns. Other characters include Schaeffer's various dates, potential love interests, and family members.

The show is a mix of comedy and drama, as it explores the struggles and insecurities that come with being single in your late 40s. Schaeffer's character is often portrayed as being socially awkward, particularly when it comes to relating to women. He also struggles with feeling like a failure in both his personal and professional life, adding to his insecurities.

One of the unique aspects of the show is its use of real-life people and locations in New York City. Schaeffer frequently takes the camera into real bars and restaurants, featuring real people who are unaware they are being documented for the show. This gives the series an authentic feel, as Schaeffer's character interacts with real New Yorkers and their reactions to his behavior are genuine.

Overall, the series provides a raw and honest look at the struggles of being single in your late 40s. Schaeffer's character is relatable to many people who have experienced the ups and downs of dating in their adulthood. While the show explores serious themes, it does so with a lighthearted and comedic tone, making it an enjoyable watch for those looking for a relatable and humorous take on the dating scene.
