Love Monkey

Terry Terrones, who covers video games for the Gazette, pitches in with a few thoughts on his favorite new show of '06, CBS' "Love Monkey":

Lovin the Monkey

What's the best new show on TV? "Love Monkey", hands down.

A likable lead character (Tom Cavanaugh), well written story lines, a great setting and plenty of interesting relationship dynamics make for great TV.

"Love Monkey" is plays like the love child of "Moonlighting" (quick witty banter) and "Sex in the City," but for guys. Cavanaugh plays a small NYC record labe exec and the music is a solid mix of rock and roll and easy listening and really flows well into the shows varying plots.

"Monkey" also manages to drag 90210 alum Jason Priestley's career back from the grave. In the show he plays a doctor. Mmmm...West Beverly High, California University! , Johns Hopkins Medical School...that sounds about right.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the characters and their relationships develop.
