NewsdayDiane Werts
The characters are vibrantly well-defined... And the writing is smart, with a light touch.

Centers on a dating consultant (Busy Philipps) who has no romantic success of her own. Could it be because the show presents her as an overbearing know-it-all?
Read Full Review >USA TodayRobert Bianco
Overagitated and overaggressive, Philipps is in constant motion; her face contorting, body twitching, voice braying. Against all odds, she has taken a show that was merely bad and made it truly unbearable.
Read Full Review >New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
Perhaps, with all the reality TV dating shows pervading the tube, there's not much appetite left for a sitcom about a fictional dating firm. More probably, there's just not much appetite for a sitcom that isn't funny.
Read Full Review >Hollywood ReporterRay Richmond
While this show isn't terrible, demonstrating spirit and energy if not belly laughs, it will need to get funnier very quickly or risk dying a quick, inglorious death.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-IntelligencerMelanie McFarland
We wonder whether the problem isn't in the casting but the paper-thin punch lines. No, wait, we don't wonder... we know that's the problem.
Read Full Review >The New York TimesVirginia Heffernan
The writing on "Love, Inc." is unsparkly and sometimes labored.
Read Full Review >Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
The laugh track is far too enthusiastic for the lame attempts at comedy on display here.
Read Full Review >PopMattersTodd R. Ramlow
If it's trying to emulate Sex and the City, Love, Inc. misses the fact that that show presented us with complex characters from the get-go; here the single women are all pretty much one-shtick ponies.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles TimesPaul Brownfield
"Love, Inc." is as unintentionally unfunny as "Room and Bored" -- the sitcom within a sitcom on HBO's "The Comeback" -- was meant to be bad.
Read Full Review >Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
Each character on ''Love, Inc." is a one-joke affair.

This is not a good show. I don't really get the whole concept of what is going on. This show won't make it to the fall schedule for 2006.
