Love Monkey is an American comedy-drama television series set in New York City starring Tom Cavanagh. The series was created by Michael Rauch, based on the book of the same name, by Kyle Smith. It was a co-production of Paramount Television and Sony Pictures Television.
The first episode aired on January 17, 2006, on CBS, attracting an audience of about 8.6 million viewers. By its third episode on February 7, viewership was down to 6.2 million, and CBS pulled it from the schedule.[1] CBS later made one episode available online via its short-lived Innertube website.
At the end of March 2006, VH1 announced plans to re-broadcast the three episodes broadcast on CBS and air the five remaining unaired episodes.[2] The last episode aired on May 16, 2006, on VH1. The series was subsequently aired on the Canadian MuchMoreMusic (later M3) channel.
In the summers of 2009 and 2010, the series was shown on the Universal HD cable network.
