Love, Inc. is an American television sitcom that originally aired for one season on United Paramount Network (UPN) from September 22, 2005 to May 11, 2006. Originally envisioned as a vehicle for Shannen Doherty (pictured), the series featured an ensemble cast led by Busy Philipps, Vince Vieluf, Reagan Gomez-Preston, Ion Overman, and Holly Robinson Peete as five matchmakers working at a dating agency. It suffered from low viewership despite its high ratings among young Hispanic women; it was canceled following UPN's merger with the WB to launch the CW in 2006. The series' cancellation, along with that of other black sitcoms, was criticized by media outlets for reducing representation of African American characters and the amount of roles for African American actors on television. Critical response to Love, Inc. was mixed: some critics praised its multi-ethnic cast, while others felt that the storylines and characters were unoriginal and Philipps' portrayal of her character as unsympathetic.

Reasons for nomination: To add diversity to the front page. A television show has not been featured on the front page for a while and there only have been three television-related articles featured on the front page in the past year (two episodes and a fictional character).
