What is it?Spoofing The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, Burning Love is a web series that started out on Yahoo! Screen and is currently airing on E! with a stellar cast led by Michael Ian Black and hilarious cameos. From Kirsten Bell, Abigail Spencer, Malin Akerman, and June Diane Raphael to Ken Marino and, in later seasons, Ryan Hansen, Rob Huebel, Adam Scott, and Joe Lo Truglio, it's a must see for fans of The State, Human Giant or Party Down. When will reviews be posted?Being in a different timezone than most people here, I can't fully commit to a "normal" posting time, but I'm willing to set a regular time (Thursday afternoons ET would be good). The review of episode 1 will be up in an hour or two. Availability
S1 isn't streaming on Yahoo! Screen anymore (S2 and S3 still are), but it's on Hulu Plus. Amazon offers a 110 minute "movie version" on Instant Video ($3.99 Rent, $9.99 Buy) and a DVD with the same content ($14.86). CommitmentI will be reviewing the first season in the following 6 weeks and hopefully S2 will be available online by then as well (it's currently airing on E!). I'd prefer reviewing the show in its TV format, but I can also do the later seasons in the web series format if I face any availability issues. Why should I watch this?The cast is top notch and Burning Love has the rare quality of giving smart comedy the feel of mindless entertainment that you can watch even when you're tired and cranky. |

w000t! (Do people still even say that?) I got worried when I didn't find it on Yahoo, but now I see it's on HuluPlus, which I have. I've gotta sort out some stuff for my own little section and then I'ma join you for Episode 1.
*excited*

S2 will probably get taken off Yahoo! soon too since it's airing on E!...

Slight delay on episode 2 folks, it'll be up on Saturday (and that's probably a safe bet from now on too).

Health update: After spending yesterday in the hospital, I'm still dealing with some (hopefully minor) health issues, which is why I haven't been around much in the past couple of days. The review for episode 2 will have to be pushed to the end of the week.
This delay is very upsetting to me, but I still want to continue, and I'll do my best to write ASAP (which may mean the end of the week).

No worries, @odduck! I think we all understand about health issues.

Hope you're ok, @odduck Just wanted you to know that I streamed all of season 1 last night and it was fantastically funny and you were correct, mindless enough that it took my mind off the shit tornado that just hit my life. "This is so unfair to me!" |

Glad it helped you out.
I'm fine, just have to stick to some food restrictions for a while and stop drinking soda and coffee, and stop smoking *starts grinding teeth*. But the real problem is I'm really behind on work, so I just need to focus on that for a couple more days.

I've been slacking lately, but it was because I had too big a workload. Now with the holidays, I think I'll have time to fully complete the reviews for S1 in the next 2 weeks.

Unfortunately, this is going on hold until I get my shit together, whenever that may be.
It didn't help that Burning Love S2 popped up online with two episodes missing (the first and the last of the season).
