Love, Inc. is an American television sitcom that originally aired for one season on United Paramount Network (UPN) from September 2005 to May 2006. Although it was developed as a vehicle and sitcom debut for Shannen Doherty, the series instead featured an ensemble cast led by Busy Philipps, Vince Vieluf, Reagan Gomez-Preston, Ion Overman, and Holly Robinson Peete (pictured) 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 cancellations of this and other black sitcoms were criticized for reducing representation of African-American characters and reducing the number of roles for African-American actors on television. Critical response to Love, Inc. was mixed: some praised its multi-ethnic cast, while others felt that the storylines and characters were unoriginal and that Philipps' portrayal of her character was unsympathetic.
