Synopsis

Love Monkey is a television series created by Michael Rauch and based on a book of the same name, by Kyle Smith. It starred Tom Cavanagh as a 30-something, single, record executive who navigated the tumultuous and highly amusing waters of work and dating in New York City. Its first episode aired on January 17, 2006 on CBS, attracting an audience of about 8.6 million viewers. By its third episode on February 7, viewership was down to 6.2 million, and CBS pulled it from the schedule, with no plans for its return. At the end of March, VH1 announced plans to re-broadcast the three episodes broadcast on CBS and air the five remaining unaired episodes. The last episode aired on May 16, 2006 on VH1. CBS has one episode available free for online viewing via its new Innertube website and intends to make the other 7 episodes available for viewing there as well. As it was bought for syndication by VH1, it now airs on MuchMoreMusic in Canada. In the summers of 2009 and 2010, the series was shown on the Universal HD cable network. It was a co-production of Paramount Television and Sony Pictures Television.

Micitype Pretty Good
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
calpilot This is just another example of corporate America running TV. They don't give new great shows a chance to develop an audience. I thought Love Monkey was great. It was funny, good spirited, light hearted, and very entertaining. Too bad CBS pulled the plug on this and continues to produce "reality TV (what garbage)" or another ER, CSI spin off.I think Tom Cauanagh is a very talented actor and the supporting cast was great. Anyway I like ED a lot also. It felt as the show went on that they were beginning to gel together. How long did it take for Friends, ER, MASH to develop a following which allowed those shows to run for up to 10 years?Maybe one day artists will once again be able to pick whats on our TV's.
octoberday75 Canada has its share of problems...such as - Vh1 isn't broadcasted here. Love Monkey became my favorite show after only one episode, but obviously a show this awesome could not be appreciated by a large enough audience so it was cut, just like arrested development, cough. anyways...now I am forced to scramble for copies of the remaining episodes that are being shown in the u.s on vh1. Someone has to pick this show up, and get tom c to drop his new show idea, which sounds like something that Would capture a larger audience - if you know what i mean. All the characters had depth, were interesting, and contributed something special to the show. Lets just stand back for a second and admire in awe, what was the best show in television during those 3 weeks the show actually aired.
dhandel To address those unhappy viewers who wanted to see the rest of the episodes of Love Monkey, there's some good news. VH1 will be airing them starting in April. The channel will be repeating first three episodes (the ones that CBS aired) on April 11 from 7-10PM, and the remaining five on successive Tuesdays at 9 pm EST. (April 18-) with repeats sprinkled throughout the week(s).FYI to those of you with a vested opinion one way or another, four of the five remaining episodes have music plot lines unrelated to Wayne (Teddy Geiger). To those of you who hated the show, you can safely return to your weekly diet of procedurals and medical shows.
tkad-1 the reason that I watch less TV lately is because there are less shows like love monkey. I will not watch any more reality shows. the majority of them embarrass the players, and that doesn't work for me.give me a program that shows the better side of people. like another show I enjoyed, cupid, (also canceled) there was a sense of hope that is given, I cannot think of many shows, if any, that make the effort. why will the producers not make the effort for genuine 'smiles'. why is it always about the cheap and easy laugh, sometimes it's about pleasure, something almost entirely lacking on TV today,gimme my love monkey back
