[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]FEBRUARY 09, 2006 -

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]CBS has scrapped its mid-season hour comedy, Love Monkey, after just a few weeks, putting it on hiatus. The 10 p.m. Tuesday show will be replaced by the next edition of Amazing Race, which will premiere on Feb. 28 with a two-hour edition, and which will then air Tuesdays at 10, beginning March 7. New drama, The Unit, will premiere on March 7 at 9 p.m.

Love Monkey lost 1 million viewers from its premiere on Jan. 16 to its second episode the following week, and its 18-49 demo was averaging a 3.3, third in the time period behind NBC's Law & Order: SVU and ABC's Boston Legal. Most recently, a repeat of SVU scored higher ratings and drew a larger audience.
Love Monkey starred Tom Cavanagh as a single, record executive in New York. [/FONT]

CBS Breaks Up with 'Love Monkey'

We're not sure if CBS gave "Love Monkey" the It's-not-you-it's-me speech, but we do know that just a few days before Valentine's Day, the network has broken things off with the show. After just three episodes, none of which brought very strong ratings, "Love Monkey" has been pulled from the schedule. CBS is officially saying the dramedy is "on hiatus," but the network currently has no plans for its return.
