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

    It's sexy, funny, hip and heartfelt.

    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

    It's funny and cute. It's not too weird that it's unrealistic like some comedy shows are becoming. I Love it!

    The fact that Nic Harcourt is a music director for the show is proof positive that this show is just not meant for network television. I think the show means well, but it's destined for more of a niche market, which CBS and Sony simply cannot provide the proper atmosphere for the show. Cavanaugh's noble ideals are certainly threatened by the hypocrisy and business behind the scenes of the show. GREAT attempt. Just wont make it. Take it to a network that can do this show right.

    It was OK, but I was hoping for High Fidelity, but I guess I was hoping too much. I never had a problem with Hanson. They were real musicians, which, apparently no one told the writers of this show. Expand
