 "Romantically Challenged" was initially scheduled for an April 12, 2010 premiere, but ABC delayed the start to April 19 to allow for a two-hour "Dancing with the Stars" episode.Milano has told the press that Pittsburgh was selected since the creator and executive producer Blitt wanted the show set in a "small-town city", and that he is also a "huge Pittsburgh Penguins fan".Director Burrows also endorsed Pittsburgh since his positive experience filming parts of the former sitcom "Back to You" in the city.
