A new round of TV match programs subverted the service mode of traditional dating programs. These new programs are endowed with deeper humanistic thinking through a variety of controversial issues and sensitive concepts. They reflect times youths’diverse attitudes of love and marriage and outlooks on life in the period of social transition, become the comprehensive outbreak of the problems of age and social symptoms, and embody fickleness and contradiction of an era.
