    "Love Monkey" may well be the smartest and most innovative network comedy-drama in many a year.

    To say that Love Monkey is derivative and predictable is not quite the same as saying it's bad.

    What ultimately hampers Love Monkey isn't its lack of credibility. It's a severe shortage of preposterousness.

    I miss this show a lot. I think it was so cool and anti-establishment. I could relate to all of the characters on the show and I loved all of he music; not to mention the cameos (Martin Luther is so talented). I think this show was way too progressive for it's own good.… Expand

    Heaven help us if this alternate reality ever collides with the alternate reality of Gilmore Girls. What this show fails to appreciate is that the Waynes of today are the Hansons (and Starships) of tomorrow. Catchy pop hooks are not a sin. Derivative garbage is.
