In early February 2010, NBC green-lit a pilot script by Jon Pollack and Scott Silveri. Olivia Munn was the first actress cast in mid-February. David Walton joined in early March, followed by Mary Elizabeth Ellis and Hayes MacArthur. Christine Woods was cast in late March 2010 as the female lead, and Kyle Howard rounded out the main cast in mid-April.
NBC announced a series pickup on May 12, 2010, planned as a midseason replacement. On June 3, 2010, comedian Jen Kirkman left Chelsea Lately to join the writing staff. On July 1, 2010, Deadline.com reported that Kyle Bornheimer replaced Kyle Howard as Dave due to uncertainty over Howard's availability pending TBS's decision on My Boys' fourth season; TBS canceled that series less than three months later. On March 22, 2011, The Paul Reiser Show was announced as a replacement, even though Perfect Couples had two unaired episodes remaining.
