OK, who hired this guy to star in anything??? By mistake I stopped on CBS this evening and discovered a pilot episode of a new show called "Love Monkey". First of all... PHEW... Stupid name. Second of all, I cannot stand this guy Tom Cavanagh. He has no appeal at all. I watched about 20 minutes of the program before I had to go yak.
CBS says about the show:
"LOVE MONKEY, based on the best-selling book by Kyle Smith, revolves around Tom Farrell (Tom Cavanagh), a 30-something up and coming single record executive who is navigating the tumultuous and highly amusing waters of work and dating in New York City. Tom's got it all until he gets fired from his job and is dumped by his girlfriend, all in the same day. "
Perhaps it's because I've grown up in, lived in and worked in New York that I found this show so annoying. It was filmed and acted as if New York was being portrayed by people from Nebraska. Nothing against Nebraska, but I know that when you come from somewhere else you have a different perception of the City.
Perhaps it's because CBS just stinks and has been promoting programming for old farts since I was about 7 years old (that's as far back as I remember). I think CBS should just throw in the towel and stop putting out new programs. Instead they should make themselves a full time infomercial station selling Depends Undergarments and Sleep Number beds.
P.S. Putting this guy in a CBGB t-shirt doesn't trick me into thinking he's a New Yorker
