I had the chance to check out the pilot for Love Monkey last night starring the intensely likeable Tom Cavanagh as a A&R Rep looking for new music artists to sign while cursing the current industry push for more pop princesses and big bags of cash. The show balances Tom’s job with his friendship with his three guy friends (Jason Priestley, Larenz Tate, and Christopher Wiehl) and his relationship with his best friend (Judy Greer). More than a little bit reminiscent of the musical snobbery in High Fidelity but also very entertaining as Cavanaugh et al exude charm. The show is based off Kyle Smith’s book. Painfully though the monkey has been scheduled on Tuesday nights against one of the only good shows left on TV ABC’s Boston Legal meaning if you want to catch it you might have to do so in the next few weeks. Here’s hoping it lasts long enough to find a branch to call its own.
