This show has been placed on hiatus and is likely done according to my
Monday Eugene Register-Guard (but it was a syndicated column, so I'm
guessing most folks are aware!?)

Subject: The Onion reviews Love Monkey


Review of Love Monkey from The AV Club:

The premise: Idealistic record company executive Tom Cavanagh searches
for romance and good music in New York City.

The difference: Like NBC's quickly cancelled The Book Of Daniel, Love
Monkey is the apparent product of TV producers looking for a new
profession on which to hang the same old dramedy storylines. Also like
The Book Of Daniel, Love Monkey doesn't seem to care enough about its
leading character's job to get the details right. But unlike The Book Of
Daniel, Love Monkey is fairly entertaining, thanks to Cavanagh's
likeable small-screen presence and a stellar supporting cast that
includes Larenz Tate, Jason Priestley, Eric Bogosian, and the
so-far-underused Judy Greer.

The future: Given that any episode of Gilmore Girls is smarter about
modern music than this show-which is supposed to be about modern
music-the creators are either going to need to spend enough time in a
record store to learn that The Essential Bob Dylan does not contain
"every song he ever recorded," or abandon the pretense that Love Monkey
is anything more than a male version of Sex And The City with a
sprinkling of Jerry Maguire. It'd be better if they went the former
route. CBS already has a How I Met Your Mother.
