Love Monkey—10:47 PM
CBS has been promoting its new show for January, Love Monkey, with Tom Cavanagh playing a quirky guy who's looking for love. (Presumably with some sort of monkey involvement.) It promises to feature music industry A&R (which I couldn't love less) and Judy Greer (whom I couldn't love more).
I know there are doubters out there, based on its nearness to some elements of Ed, but I'm way on board. I'd watch Tom Cavanagh read the phone book. I'd watch Tom Cavanagh watch Tom Bosley read the phone book.
"Mike" — Tue, 12/20/05 4:06am
I'd love me some Tom Cavanagh! I miss my boy.
Brandon — Thu, 12/22/05 8:21am
I'd love to see a great new TC show, but the promos for Love Monkey look terrible. The comedy looks really forced. Of course, if there's gonna be a monkey, I can be swayed...
Also acceptable:
- Tom Cavanaugh's character is part monkey.
- TC's character's landlord is a monkey.
- TC's character's boss is a monkey.
- TC's character does A&R work on a new album from an all-monkey band.
- TC's character relaxes at a bar owned and operated by a dryly-funny monkey who's a great listener and always has a lesson-filled anecdote at the ready.
- Roving gangs of infected monkeys that serve as a "danger element."
- A shirtless Ed Asner being mistaken for a monkey.
Not acceptable:
- "Theoretical" monkeys.
- "The monkey is actually the little boy in all of us."
- Space monkeys.
- Orangutans.
- Horse posing as a monkey.
- Ed Asner in a monkey costume.

I'm holding out for the title to be a mispunctuation of "Love, Monkey" just like To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar.
At the end of every episode, it's revealed that the preceding narrative has been a letter home from a chimp in his freshman year at NYU, and he signs it – in a Doogie Howser-inspired moment – "Love, Monkey"
I'd also accept a monkey in a shirtless Ed Asner costume, being mistaken for a monkey.
"Mike" — Thu, 12/22/05 10:46am
What if Phil Stubbs was the monkey, or at least claimed to be the monkey as a guest star during sweeps...

Love Monkey is a book the series is based on. No primates involved.
Bee Boy — Wed, 12/28/05 7:53pm
Aw, thanks a lot Captain Literal. What a bring-down.
"Middleager" — Fri, 12/30/05 8:40am
I think that this show Love Monkey looks rather lame if you ask me. The music sux and Tom's hair is not "ED" but I was told that he took this role only to be close to his wife, Sports Illustrated Photographer Maureen Cavanagh, and that he loves this "young teenage" type music. Okay is Tom the Monkey cause he is does not know his age (check out the last 12 months different hair styles that this boy sports). Bottom line people if you plan to watch Tom Cavanagh in this show Love Monkey I suggest that you grab some Advil, cause you will need it especailly if Mr. Cavanagh sings...
~rant over~

I got very weary of Ed and felt relieved when it ended (several seasons too late). Now, more of the same? Tell this over-aged goofball to grow up and get married, already.
"Karen Klein" — Tue, 1/17/06 11:40pm
Hi
For those of you who aren't as old as I am (having been born on 5-5-42), I hope you understand this comment as not a ridicule, but a suggestion. I totally enjoy Tom Cavanagh, and it would really be wonderful if my friends and I could understand what he is saying. I was hoping he wouldn't talk as fast as he did on Ed. So, please, please Tom, try not to talk 100 miles an hour and please, please have some inflection in your voice - and make your voice less of a monotone. We were so looking forward to this show. If you cannot, or feel that it's not worth it, all my friends at the Villages in San Jose, will be forced to watch, Boston Legal. Sorry!!!!
Bee Boy — Wed, 1/18/06 7:04am
Watch Boston Legal, forced or not! It's awesome! I thought Love Monkey was pretty darn cute – it has some potential, although it's not quite there yet. I'll be tuning in again. Yay, Tom!
Brandon — Thu, 1/19/06 2:23pm
Didn't like it. In fact, if it wasn't for Tommy C, I would have abandoned ship halfway through. But such is my love for him that I'm going to give it one more episode.
"M" — Mon, 1/23/06 10:16am
The show was pretty good, tom c. looked hot. But I do not think that the ratings are that good though. I do not know if the show will last it’s 8 episodes that were ordered. I have read that Heather Grahams show got canned. So who is to say what will happen with this show!
Brandon — Fri, 1/27/06 2:17am
Better the second time around (plus a Ben Folds cameo!), but it still needs work. The buddies are the weakest part; I'd almost prefer to see them go away entirely, but I realize that would leave too much of a gaping hole. Maybe they could just edit in scenes from Ed to take the place of the buddy scenes...
Bee Boy — Fri, 1/27/06 8:40pm
Haven't seen episode two yet, but my sister also said it was an improvement, so I'm looking forward to it.
Meanwhile, I think we can all agree that this week's Earl was the best ever. You all know what I'm talking about. (Or at least your TiVo's "instant replay" button does.)
Brandon — Fri, 1/27/06 11:37pm
I suspect you're talking about a specific scene (and I think I know which one), but I can definitely agree that this week's Earl was, in the breathless, childlike tone of Randy, "awesome." Toward the end, when I figured out where they were going with the two storylines, I started jumping up and down with giddiness over their brilliance.
Anonymous Coward — Mon, 1/30/06 3:17am
I happen to love "Love Monkey". It's fresh, different, nothing like it on tv and above all Tom Cavanagh is absolutely the best
Anonymous Coward — Wed, 2/1/06 8:18pm
I thought this show was the cutest thing ever, I love it and its my new fav show
"Michelle" — Wed, 2/1/06 8:21pm
I agree. I happen to love "love Monkey" Its new and refreshing. And I love the whole idea of the show
"OMG" — Fri, 2/3/06 11:42am
you all gotta check this out, Tom Cavanagh is so stuck on his looks, I would have to agree with this blogger that I have lost all respect in such a shallow guy like Tom Cavanagh seems to me, eww! I wonder how this wife of his Maureen can stand that or she is probably more stuck on herself than he is!
What ever the case is I do not like Tom Cavanagh nearly as much!!!!
Bee Boy — Fri, 2/3/06 12:10pm
I have no idea how our commenters became so obsessed with Tom's hair. I switched from "meticulously parted" to "messy" a while ago, and I think messy takes more time because there's a fine line between messy and disheveled.
Nevertheless, I've been able to enjoy Tom's comic performances without being distracted by his hair. Love Monkey still has to prove itself, but I think episode two was a big improvement, so I'm looking forward to next week.
Sadly, in other Ed alum news, Courting Alex showed no improvement in its second episode, and has been axed from the TiVo list for good.
"OMG" — Fri, 2/3/06 12:54pm
I hope that TC is not stuck up anyway what do you think about the low ratings of LM? Do you think that CBS will still keep this show on - IYHO?
Bee Boy — Fri, 2/3/06 2:23pm
I've given up trying to predict the feeble (and fickle) minds of TV programming execs. Fortunately, while I adore Tom and I think the show has promise, I'm not nearly as devoted to it as I was to Arrested Development – or even Ed. If CBS decides to pull the plug, I'll be neither surprised nor horrified.
"?" — Mon, 2/6/06 3:13pm
Quick question, Do you know where one can get screen caps from Love Monkey?
Bee Boy — Mon, 2/6/06 4:14pm
Nothing off the top of my head. I'd search Google or TV.com – usually I'm able to find quick resources through either of those. CBS.com may have a few photos, too.
"L.L." — Tue, 2/7/06 6:08pm
I have read on this blog (found it on the tom cavanaugh blog search on Google) that it was Tom Cavanaugh idea to have the characters on the show:
Also in the last episode did Tom have a tatoo? I have read that he wants to get one or he has one??? Is this true??
"blogger" — Wed, 2/8/06 10:05am
If you want interesting info on Tom Cavanagh or "Love Monkey" may I suggest to go to Google, click on more and there is a list of different google searchs. There is one there for Blogs well click on that and just put in the name: Tom Cavanagh Tom Cavanaugh Love Monkey or any of the cast of that show.
Makes for some really good reading my friends!;)

Guys. I'm really sorry but there's nothing I can do about this. I don't know how I became the clearinghouse for this stuff. (Although I guess it beats becoming the small penis clearinghouse.)
Nobody wants to counterprogram the Olympics, even if the Olympics are ridiculously lame. So don't fret that Tom's not back this week – almost nobody's airing new stuff, and you don't air repeats of a show that only has three episodes.
I wouldn't get my hopes up about WB taking on new programming this fall. They're already having to slash their schedule to fit in shows like Veronica Mars that are coming in from the UPN schedule.
Anonymous Coward — Wed, 2/15/06 9:32pm
I am really sad that Love Monkey is off the air. I thoroughly enjoyed it because it was different and hip; and Tom is a real joy. I have heard nothing but good about him and hate to see any negative comments about how he is stuck up. 1 out of 10 comments on that just proves it.

I saw the segment with my own eyes and heard the commentary myself as my husband was flipping around the channels. The announcer's words were, roughly, "Fans of the CBS show 'Love Monkey,' which was pulled after only 3 episodes, will be happy to know that the show may reappear on the new CW network, where it is being shopped..." It was a short segment, and they showed a clip of the guys on the basketball court. That's all I know. Hope this helps out some of the show's fans!” I WOULD CALL THE WB NOW AND PUSH THIS ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!!

"Grin" — Thu, 3/9/06 9:44am
NO way I do not think that was tom cavanaugh on either of those comments however I do think that Maureen is the one who could have been the one who posted about Tom not being stuck up. I read on here that someone said that she is stuck up, but who knows. My guess is that either Maureen wrote the comment or a family memeber wrote it.
I have heard that he does read the stuff about him. But if Tom Cavanaugh is really "stuck up" then I doubt that he would even give a shit about anything, really. Plus he is a daddy now so he is busy I am sure. Just my thoughts on the matter! Good day! :)

WHY DO YOU WATCHTHIS SHOW?
I haven't watched it in weeks. Is it still on?
WHO IS YOUR FAVORATECHARACTER?
I like Julia's banter with Tom, but I think my favorite character is Bran. Sometimes Julia is a little too busy being cool and aloof.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE BOUT THIS SHOWTHE BEST?
In spite of myself, the music. Also the playful interaction between Tom and his friends. I like the Tom Cavanagh style. I know not everyone does; some people find it affected. But I like it.
WHAT DO YOU NOT LIKE ABOUT THISSHOW?
Sometimes the scenes with the guy friends drag on. The show could probably use one fewer guy friend.
WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE CUTEST ONTHIS SHOW?
Unequivocally, Tom.
WHAT CHANNEL WOULD YOU LIKE TOSEE THIS SHOW ON NEXT?
I think CBS is a fine fit. I suppose I'd choose HBO if I thought it might mean more nudity.
WHAT OTHER KIND OFMUSIC WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR ON THIS SHOW?
Ha ha. They Might Be Giants. (My stock answer to any question about music.)
WHERE DO YOU THINK THE SHOW SHOULD BE FILMEDAT TO SAVE MONEY?
Hm, good question. Apparently the old Stuckeybowl building has been sold and torn down. Vancouver is supposed to be pretty cheap, right? Otherwise, they're welcome to film at my house.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ONTHE CAST?
They are talented and lively individuals.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MOREOF?
Naked boobs.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE LESS OF?
Joan Rivers. (Also, I'll admit I could stand to see less Love Monkey-related comment graffiti on this site; particularly the all-caps stuff, the random stuff about Maureen Cavanagh, and the stuff with lots of superfluous ellipses.)

Dear Mr. "one bee", I see that you are a fan of Tom Cavanagh the actor of (Ed, Love Monkey and My Ex-life). Well you might be interested in the following info that I found while doing a google blog search. It is more info about Tom Cavanagh's personality: General Description of INTPs
***
Negotiator INTPs as Negotiators
***
Strengths Strengths This type may be eager to negotiate. They will study the concept of negotiations and be interested in looking at mediation and negotiating options as contrasted with litigation. They may want to know more about negotiation. This type will look for common values that can be shared and will apply them to disputes. Will be good at working out facts and figures. Once agreement is reached, this type will not want to return to the subject. It's now complete (closed). Careful of details. This type will look for "win-win" options - a good problem solver. This type can handle complications until it seems too repetitious. Likes problem-solving. They can handle intense negotiations.
***
Weaknesses Weaknesses as negotiators
Under stress the INTP may have pain and distress that is new and not understood. No outlet for terrible internal pain and loss. May find it difficult to meet his spouse. The INTP doesn't take care of himself enough - not tuned in to own personal needs. What INTP sees as fair may skip their own personal needs. The INTP may become highly positional where intensely personal issues are involved or where his space is invaded. They need to think before deciding. It is hard for INTPs to communicate their feelings while negotiating. They get lost if details are repetitious. May have trouble concentrating on specifics. They may have trouble coming to a final decision. INTPs may put too many items on the agenda. They may become hairsplitting in details. If it gets too personal the INTP may withdraw. If it gets too emotional the INTP may forget what was said.
***
How this temperament see themselves as Negotiators How INTPs see themselves as negotiators
They are creative, logical, reasonable. They are accurate, tough-minded and fair. They seek justice.
***
How others see this temperament as negotiators How others see INTPs as negotiators
They are seen as cold, repressed and arrogant. They are seen as uncaring about people.
***
How to work positively with other types How to work positively with other types
Appreciate your ability to adapt. Appreciate your ability to be creative and insightful.

wow, we need love monkey back, after reading the following blog it really made me miss Love Monkey on CBS or VH1
IS Tom Cavanagh is getting away from his "sweet image" Jun. 11th, 2006 mood: annoyed
Here is why I say that:
IN MY opinion this guy is a piece of SHIT! Really he is! First he does not know who he is and NOW he is doing a dark sexual movie just so he can get away from his good guy image from Ed, Love Monkey, Snow, and his latest flick How to Eat Fried Worms coming in August. This guy is a father and here he is doing a movie so far off of what he is so use to doing. I mean what kinda example does this peice of shit (Tom Cavanaugh) set for his daughter. OH I know that there is gonna be alot of people who will disagree and say that it is just a role. In my opinion I think that there are plenty of other roles out there that he could have chosen but he had to chose this one cause he is so desprerate to make it big. He is not really thinking bout his family just himself in my opinion. I find this actor to be one of those annoying jocks who will do anything to be famous...even if that means to not think of his family. Hello asshole (Tom) there are plenty of other gigs out there. Get a clue JERK! There is nothing more fucking annoying then someone trying to get away from the "sweet good person image".

OMG is this guy doing this movie cause of her too (they dated in 2003 off and on and he had a huge crush on her while on Ed so I heard), damn he needs to get over that girl, I mean really, he is married!

After reading this persons blog:
""Okay, cool thing that happened to me this week. I’m in Starbucks, sipping on my half-caf (cream, one Equal) and I look up and coming through the door is that guy on Ed. I mean, it’s Ed. I’m trying like mad to think of his real name, but all I can come up with is “That Ed Guy” – which I’m sure he loves. But, see here’s the thing. I had a big time crush on his character in the show and so here he is in front of me and my half-caf and I feel like I’m running into some guy I had a crush on in high school. Until it dawns on me that “The Ed Guy” is probably wondering if I’m a bit off because I’m staring at him. I want to tell him that I’m not emotionally deranged, but I’m sure the look on my face and the fact that I seem to be blushing is what makes him walk a bit faster as he comes past my table. Oh well, it could have been worse. I could have spilled my coffee down my front or on him. Why is it that no matter how old you get, sometimes you still feel like you’re a little kid on the inside?""
