It wasn’t that the ratings were bad (though at the end they were) it was that they were in decline. Here are the numbers…

First Episode: 5.9/9
Second Episode: 5.1/9
Third Episode: 4.4/7

That’s even below where 48 hours was when it was in that slot (the week before Love Monkey premiered 48 hours got a 6.0/10)

The drop off is also an issue, last Tuesday here are the CBS ratings…

8PM NCIS: 10.1/15
9PM Criminal Minds: 8.3/12
10PM Love Monkey: 4.4/7

Love Monkey loses almost half its audience.

I honestly think it was more a case of a show that didn’t fit the network it was on but CBS was still justified pulling it and I doubt we’ll be seeing it again.

Now this can join "Eyes" on the list of shows that I loved that were killed before it had a chance to blossom. So sad...

I watched it this week...good show. Crappy artist/song, but I liked the show.

I think it was matched up with the wrong shows. They should have switched it with CSI:Miami which would fit better with the NCIS, Criminal Minds block. Love Monkey would have followed much better with CBS's Monday night comedy block; the show is essentially a more dramatic version of "How I Met Your Mother".

I'm not too suprised this show is struggling. I'm a fan, but after every episode I end up feeling a little dissapointed. I'll be sad to see it go, but I won't miss it that much.

Fictional shows about music/musicians NEVER last on television. at least not since the early seventies.

...now come the comments with all the shows i forgot about :)

I'm just pissed that they pull it the week before the episode with Paul Schaffer and the Ed Sullivan theater in it. Bastards.

Then again, according to TiVo and Yahoo! TV, there's still two episodes scheduled for broadcast. Hmmm...

Eyes? Just Eyes?

Love Monkey, Kitchen Confidential, Firefly, Wonderfalls, Eyes, the Inside, Reunion... The list goes on and on and on... Fox generally is the one that doesn't give shows a chance, but I figured CBS would give this more of a shot than just three episodes.

I actually like Teddy Geiger (The musician who played Wayne). Not at first, but the music grew on me (and I'm not generally a fan of that genre)

NOOOOOOOOOO! This is one of the only new shows I have really like this season. I am really disappointed.

NOOOOO! I need my Judy Greer fix! Quick, queue up my DVDs of "The Specials" and "Arrested Development" Season Two!

Everyone else on the show was pretty okay too. Better than "Ed," certainly.

Wow, royal screw up CBS. Didn't even give this show a chance. It was really starting to develop.

This show just didn't get a fair shot in the time slot it was given either.

i'm stunned! it was supposed to be Sony's *propaganda* ("look how nice we are, please buy more CDs!") - why has it got an axe?!

It's my fault. It aired at a bad time, so I downloaded the 3 shows. Poor Tom being cancelled from the great show Ed, and this up and improving show.

I just finished watching the first episode and it looked pretty interesting. It'll stay on my record list.

But I didn't have any of these mumbling problems that some people reported. Maybe I'm just used to hearing mumbling.

There's times as I watched that I thought I'd hate Tom Cavanagh, or his character, and the "surprise" gay jock and black friend to add some soul were a little cliched at this point, but overall I was really liking the show anyway, and I was happy to see Priestley even looking a little worse for the wear.

I thought I was making better TV choices too, I had just dropped Lost, and I actually made a point of watching this at 10 which is way past my primetime.

Love Monkey gets shelved, then you see a preview for Two and Half Men. I really wonder what's going on over on the other side of the screen sometimes.

So disappointed, love this show. I really think CBS is being too hasty. Hopefully they will see they light and after sweeps it will be back. Honestly...if they can keep that show Rockstar INXS till the end, can't they keep this one a little longer?????

WHAT!!!! LOVEMONKEY CANCELLED? Finally a show with some creativity, good characters and great music. GEEZ....and to replace it with another reality show. As if we need more of those! Are you ACTUALLY paying the people that make these decisions?

This was the only show we watched on CBS. Fresh and fun.
It was not the right program for CBS- too corporate.
It needs a network who believes in it and can nurture it.
Only 3 shows and the cast was coming together.
