Excused is an American dating reality-based competition series that debuted in first-run syndication in the United States and Canada on September 12, 2011. The half-hour series is hosted by comedian Iliza Shlesinger and created by David Garfinkle and Jay Renfroe for Renegade 83 Productions (the same company that produced Blind Date) and CBS Television Distribution.
The series, which is primarily syndicated to stations affiliated with Fox, CW, CBS, MyNetworkTV and to independent stations for broadcast in late fringe and access time periods,[1] is the first dating series (along with Entertainment Studios-produced Who Wants to Date a Comedian?, which debuted the same month) to air in first-run syndication since the 2006 cancellations of Blind Date and Elimidate.
On April 19, 2012, CBS Television Distribution announced that Excused would be renewed for a second season, which began on September 10, 2012, but it would also be its last as the series ended its run in September 2013 after 230 episodes.[2][3]
