I was watching Letterman, and there was a promo for a new show coming in January called Love Monkey. Its apparently about a A&R guy at a music label and his search for new music. Hrm. I might check it out, sounds interesting enough.

it's got the guy from Ed in it, right?

Speaking of monkeys...saw this and needed to share. your timing was perfect Wabbit!

Man, when my girlfriend first told me that you were annoying as fucking hell, I hadn't seen any of your posts but I figured "well, he/she can't be any worse than DumpJack, Dalen, etc."

Then I started seeing you everywhere, and immediately I realized she was correct.

What?! Were you bored or something? Do you guys talk about board members in real life? Why does posting a pic make you annoying?

Worse than Dumpjack AND Dalen? Thanks Milk Dud!
OK, kid go and study for your drivers test.

yup.

I'll give this a chance. Never watched Ed, but I liked him as J.D.'s brother!

Haha.

Well at least I'm in good company.

I read somewhere that Nic Harcourt was a producer on this show.

i think it looks good, too.

Wow, you need something better to do with your time than let a person on a webboard who posts pictures control your life. Ever thought about reading books? Or painting? Or at least getting out of the house once in a while?

Is this reality TV or a sitcom? Brandon 'Clubfoot' Walsh is listed in the credits.

sitcom...maybe dramedy.

On January 17th, the network will introduce a midseason replacement show, Love Monkey, that promises to offer more musical tie-ins than any nonreality series in network history. It stars Tom Cavanagh (who played the lead on NBC's Ed) as an A&R executive at an independent label, and early episodes include cameos from LeAnn Rimes, Ben Folds and Aimee Mann, who also performs on the show -- as well as appearances by a slew of promising unknown artists.

CBS made a deal with Columbia Records to cast newly signed seventeen-year-old singer-songwriter Teddy Geiger in a recurring role on Love Monkey as an up-and-coming pop rocker. Geiger wrote the show's theme music and performs several songs in the first eight episodes, which Columbia hopes will boost sales of his debut CD, due in February. "It's an amazing opportunity to get to a much bigger audience," says Columbia marketing exec Barbara Jones. "You can't beat being on prime time on the number-one network."

Nic Harcourt, an influential Los Angeles DJ, serves as co-producer and music supervisor for Love Monkey, selecting artists to highlight. He chose She Wants Revenge, Eugene and Robbers on High Street for spots on the series and thinks it may help them get deals like Geiger's. "Clearly we've seen in recent years the impact that a successful television show like Dawson's Creek or The O.C. can have on record sales," Harcourt says. "It's smart for CBS to look for a younger audience this way, and it's smart for the show to expose new talent. There's plenty of it out there."

I feel dirty all of the sudden.
