You Can Do Better is a truTV series that premiered in 2016 and was hosted by comedians Matthew Latkiewicz and Abbi Crutchfield. Danilo Di Julio served as the show's correspondent. The series is a mix of comedy and education, where the hosts take a humorous and informative look at various topics, providing viewers with tips and advice on how to improve their lives in a range of areas.

Each episode of You Can Do Better focused on a specific theme, such as dating, finances, health, or travel. The hosts tackled these subjects with a blend of comedy and practical advice, bringing a lighthearted yet informative approach to the topics. The show was geared towards young adults in their 20s and 30s, offering advice on common problems that people in this age group might face.

One of the strengths of You Can Do Better was the chemistry between the hosts. Latkiewicz and Crutchfield played off each other well, with Latkiewicz often serving as the more cynical and sarcastic one, while Crutchfield brought a bubbly and energetic vibe to the show. Di Julio's segments added another layer of humor and insight, providing a break from the banter between the main hosts.

The series had a light and fun tone throughout, with the hosts often taking a playful approach to their advice. For example, in one episode about dating, they suggested that if someone wanted to stand out on a first date, they should order a pizza with a custom message written on it, such as "I hope this isn't our last date." While the advice was often tongue-in-cheek, it was also grounded in reality, with the hosts offering genuinely helpful tips and suggestions.

In addition to the humor, the show also featured a range of guests who provided additional insight into the topics being discussed. These guests ranged from doctors and financial experts to dating coaches and travel bloggers, and offered a variety of perspectives on the issues at hand. The guests were integrated smoothly into the show, and were able to contribute to the conversation without feeling forced.

The production value of You Can Do Better was also a highlight, with the show featuring slick graphics, fast-paced editing, and stylish on-screen text. The hosts frequently used props and costumes to add to the humor, and the show made smart use of cutaway shots and reaction shots to keep the audience engaged.

Overall, You Can Do Better was an entertaining and informative series that managed to strike a balance between comedy and education. The show offered practical advice on a range of topics, while also providing a healthy dose of humor and personality. The chemistry between the hosts was a highlight, and the show's informative yet playful tone made it a standout in the crowded landscape of lifestyle programming.
