PURCHASE THE DVD: Love Monkey (2006)

This series, based on a novel, lasted a whole three weeks before CBS yanked it off the air. It starred Tom Cavanaugh ('Ed') as a record exec who gets fired from his cushy big label A&R job after making a speech about his passion for "real music." He lands at a small, start up label where he can work on the music he really loves. Meanwhile, he's always seeking "The One" and spends a lot of time hanging out with his buddies. The show wasn't bad, but it wasn't a stand out either. Cavanaugh, on whom this show rested, mugges it up for the camera a bit much for my taste. That worked on 'Ed', which was a naturally quirky show, but not as well here. The show might gotten better given the chance, but that rarely happens on TV anymore.
