Info

The energetic staff of LOVE, INC. takes pride in their success as full-service dating consultants. Leading the flourishing team is owner and founder of LOVE, INC., Clea. After her marriage of nine years falls apart, she now finds herself thrust into the dating world once again. Denise Johnson, an energetic, pragmatic, young woman who helps Clea make the company a success, is skilled at helping her clients find their seemingly unattainable soulmates, yet struggles with her inability to find true love. Making the hip busy offices run smoothly is Francine, who in addition to being a excellent wingwoman, has a great sense of fashion style and encourages her clients to trust it. Rounding out the staff is Viviana, a quick-witted and sharp tongued receptionist, and Barry, a wingman whose quirky ways and comments always stun everyone.

Love, Inc. Audience Reviews

FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
insomniac_rod I can't understand why t.v. execs didn't have patience with this sitcom; it was funny, had it's moments, had some interesting plots (all dealt with dating), and wacky characters.This was a different sitcom from many others that came out at the time. The situations to be honest were not "very" creative but at least made us wonder how such a silly job could work in a decadent society. The truth is that dating was something really funny through the eyes of our characters.Busy Phillips was very sexy and funny while the rest of the cast was well just fine. The guy who plays Barry is one funny man.I don't know if time would gave this sitcom the reason but something for sure is that it was canceled in an unfair mode.Still I can recommend it for those who like to watch re.runs. Watch it on American Network and Latinos can watch it on Sony Entertainment Television.
liquidcelluloid-1 Network: UPN; Genre: Sitcom; Content Rating: TV-PG (for language and adult content); Perspective: Classic (star range: 1 - 4); Seasons Reviewed: 1 season To be honest, when I watch a TV show, I certainly don't sit there critiquing the acting, story logic and visual symbolism. What fun would that be? I get a feeling about what I'm watching, and from that feeling comes an effort to describe it and break the show down in ways that others may understand it. I say that because a show like "Love, In." is a train-wreck of such horror it cannot be described in listing of technical failings, but in the general feeling that it injects in you. A great show gives me an inspired, excited, mildly euphoric feeling. "Love, Inc." is a virtually unwatchable mess that sounds like nails on a chalkboard and the feeling: it's more like Morgellon's Disease.Loosely plotted, played as loudly and broadly as possible and not the slightest bit funny, the characters of "Love" all work at a dating service where they help the romantically impaired find someone who will have them. Naturally, they can't heal their own hearts In other words, it is just about the most worthless job on the planet. They must have a day job. This can't pay the bills.There is no relationship insight here. None of their advice or techniques seems particularly innovative and all of their clients are pathetic misfits with enough of a good heart so we will root for them in the end. "Love" blatantly carries out the TV mandate to put forth the idea that everybody should get together and those that don't are "lonely and miserable". I can't fault "Love" too much for its single-minded almost propaganda-like attitude toward bashing single people, most of TV does it and because single people aren't a politically protected minority group, nobody ever says a word.But there is an attempt at audience manipulation going on here that is more insulting than the average sitcom. Holly Robinson Peete stars is the head of the business (down to Earth with her co-workers, but often succumbing to romantic flights of fancy on her own time) and the heart is Busey Phillips as the love-faithful believer. I'm going to give Phillips a pass here because she looks good as a brunette and all "Freaks and Geeks" alumni get a kind of diplomatic immunity for any future TV mis-step. It seems that Peete has staffed the business up with one eye on the quotas and another trying to make her co-workers as obnoxious as possible. From the greasy, goofy white guy (Vince Vieluf) to the loud, feisty Latina (Ion Overman, "The L Word"), nobody shuts up and all have been transparently designed to drag in the largest, multi-cultural demographic as possible. "Love" spreads itself so thin trying to appeal to everybody that the final produce is a completely diluted mess.One good idea is the episode titles, which reference other TV shows: from "Arrested Development" to "Bossom Buddies". Since "Love, inc." isn't about TV at all, I'm making a leap to say that this too is a bit of audience manipulation to lure the TV fans into a show that isn't a fraction as clever as the use of the titles. "Love, Inc." isn't worth the time it takes to tell you that it isn't worth your time.½ / 4
cutvelvet This show is really funny and truly interesting in terms of the mix of people. They really touch on all kinds of subjects and manage to stay funny without ever being cruel.. I think it's adorable.. and I love Ion Overman and Holly!! Can't wait to see if Busy ever gets a decent date! The writing gets fresher and cuter all the time. "Everyone Loves Chris" is a good lead-in - but this show really appeals to adults too.. and all races and creeds. It's so sad that people don't give new shows a chance to develop. I mean Even the great hits were not perfect the first few months.. they grow on you and "Love, Inc." is really growing on me. i laugh out loud every week, and that almost never happens. cutvelvet
pglen111 This show is awful and the jokes are flat and I really don't see any potential for it progressing. I don't know what's going on with these networks-maybe they need better writers or something, but most of the so called sitcoms on UPN or boring and lack humor. I like Holly Robinson-Pete, but I am just so surprised to see her in something like this. Of course, I hope the show will improve but for now it appears like their is no room for hope. The characters all appear like they don't have " life" they are all just so flat and lack energy. Everybody hates Chris is pretty funny which is a lead for love, inc, however, without it, I don't think it would have survived as long as it did.
