Newsday Diane Werts

The characters are vibrantly well-defined... And the writing is smart, with a light touch.

Variety Laura Fries

An affable new sitcom.

Orlando Sentinel Hal Boedeker

Centers on a dating consultant (Busy Philipps) who has no romantic success of her own. Could it be because the show presents her as an overbearing know-it-all?

USA Today Robert Bianco

Overagitated and overaggressive, Philipps is in constant motion; her face contorting, body twitching, voice braying. Against all odds, she has taken a show that was merely bad and made it truly unbearable.

New York Daily News David Hinckley

Perhaps, with all the reality TV dating shows pervading the tube, there's not much appetite left for a sitcom about a fictional dating firm. More probably, there's just not much appetite for a sitcom that isn't funny.

Hollywood Reporter Ray Richmond

While this show isn't terrible, demonstrating spirit and energy if not belly laughs, it will need to get funnier very quickly or risk dying a quick, inglorious death.

Chicago Sun-Times Doug Elfman

Negligible.

Detroit Free Press Mike Duffy

[A] trite little laugh-track factory.

Miami Herald Glenn Garvin

Humdrum.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Melanie McFarland

We wonder whether the problem isn't in the casting but the paper-thin punch lines. No, wait, we don't wonder... we know that's the problem.

The New York Times Virginia Heffernan

The writing on "Love, Inc." is unsparkly and sometimes labored.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen

The laugh track is far too enthusiastic for the lame attempts at comedy on display here.

PopMatters Todd R. Ramlow

If it's trying to emulate Sex and the City, Love, Inc. misses the fact that that show presented us with complex characters from the get-go; here the single women are all pretty much one-shtick ponies.

San Francisco Chronicle Tim Goodman

Woefully bad.

Los Angeles Times Paul Brownfield

"Love, Inc." is as unintentionally unfunny as "Room and Bored" -- the sitcom within a sitcom on HBO's "The Comeback" -- was meant to be bad.

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert

Each character on ''Love, Inc." is a one-joke affair.

Chicago Tribune Maureen Ryan

A grating comedy.

This is not a good show. I don't really get the whole concept of what is going on. This show won't make it to the fall schedule for 2006.
