"Love Monkey" (2/14)...what happened to it?
 
Was it cancelled? there was a repeat of NCIS. This would suck!

Not yet officially but it's pretty much dead.

ABC seems to pulling the same thing with Crumbs as it's being benched tonight for a repeat of Grey's Anatomy again.

All the new shows with gay characters are getting the axe on network TV: Emily's Reasons Why Not, The Book of Daniel, Love Monkey, Out of Practice (not canned but moved to a worse time slot).

Obviously a conspiracy.

Surprised you didnt see the other thread that it was cancelled.
It's old news now.

I have the 3 episodes DVRed that have aired so far. Since it is cancelled, are they worth watching?

Spanky BananaPants 02-16-06 03:49 PM

I think they're worth watching; I really enjoyed the three episodes we did get.

OldBoy 02-16-06 04:34 PM

well, this sucks. they didn't even give it a chance.

and to say this had "gay characters" or that it was cancelled due to it is a bit of a stretch since they had yet to delve into the sportscaster character and only showed that one snippet on the 1st show.

I was disappointed in that too. They showed everyone's home life except his.

But they replaced Love Monkey with reruns of a show about the navy, so that's kind of an equal trade off, right?

riley_dude 02-16-06 05:34 PM

How so?

Count Dooku 02-16-06 06:03 PM

An instance of jesting explained?

Are you hinting at the fact that there are straight people in the navy? Surely, you jest.

Judy Greer was on "The Late Late Show" last night (and lookin' fine). Nary a mention of "Love Monkey." Sad.

riley_dude 02-16-06 07:30 PM

Don't ask (almost typed ass) Dont tell.

She's the reason I picked up "What Planet Are You From?" at Wal-Mart for $4.88.

And networks wonder why viewers are fleeing to cable.

This show would not have been canned after 3 eps if it were on BrAvo, Fx, US or TNT

THis is really Bogus, I was just getting into this show

movie diva 02-17-06 10:48 AM

I'm sorry to see it go I enjoyed it.

rfduncan 02-17-06 11:00 AM

Jeez - I just caught last week's episode on my Season Pass. Guess I can scratch that.

At what point does a network decide it wasn't worth the effort to burn off what they've already paid to produce? I mean the show would have gotten as much viewership as a rerun - especially during the Olympics. Makes no sense.

Tom Cavanaugh was supposed to be on Ellen a few days ago, but he was replaced with Jeff Probst. I guess he had nothing left to talk about.

PerryD 02-17-06 01:37 PM

I'm very disappointed that the show is cancelled already. The first 3 episodes were very good and I was happy to finally get a new CBS show without the letters CSI in it.

mongoco 02-17-06 02:31 PM

Maybe we should petition Vh1 to pick it up?
Seems like a good fit for them.

Jimmy James 02-17-06 03:53 PM

I believe Kristin of EOnline indicated that there have been discussions with CW and that there may be a 5% or so chance that they pick it up.

Chew 02-21-06 06:11 AM

It would've been nice if CBS had done the same thing as NBC (with Book of Daniel) and put the unaired episodes on their website. :(

Well, he is coming back to Scrubs.
