Love Stinks was a comedy television series that aired on FOX in 1999. Created and executive produced by Jeff Franklin, the show starred French Stewart as the lead, Seth Winnick. The series also featured Jolie Jenkins as Chelsea Stevens, Bill Cohen as Joel Goodman, and G.W. Bailey as Jack Kompowski, among others.

The storyline of the show revolved around Seth Winnick, a successful and popular radio talk-show host. Despite his fame and fortune, Seth's love life had reached a dead end. After several failed relationships and disastrous dates, he becomes disillusioned and pessimistic about love.

During the first episode, Seth meets Chelsea, a beautiful and charming woman, and the two start dating. However, as the show progresses, their relationship goes through various bumps and speed bumps. Along the way, they encounter many quirky characters, each with their unique views on love.

The show was set in Los Angeles and often incorporated the city's vibrant and diverse culture into its plots. Love Stinks tackled various aspects of romance and human relationships, including breakups, makeups, infidelity, and family dynamics. The series was known for its satirical take on love and relationships, poking fun at the clichés and stereotypes associated with them.

One of the show's standout features was its writing. Love Stinks was known for its witty and clever writing style, which often incorporated pop culture references, puns, and jokes. The show also used a range of visual gags and running jokes, which added to its comedic value.

In addition to the writing, the show's humor was also enhanced by its cast. French Stewart's skillful delivery of witty one-liners and sarcastic remarks made him perfectly suited for the role of Seth. Jolie Jenkins brought a balance of intelligence and humor to her portrayal of Chelsea, showcasing her versatility as an actress. G.W. Bailey's portrayal of the gruff and jaded radio station owner, Jack Kompowski, was another highlight of the show.

Love Stinks was well-received by audiences, with many praising its humor and originality. However, the series struggled to find a consistent audience and was ultimately canceled after one season. Despite its short-lived run, Love Stinks has remained a cult favorite among fans of romantic comedies.

Overall, Love Stinks was a clever and entertaining take on the ups and downs of love and relationships. Its sharp writing, well-rounded characters, and quirky humor made it stand out in an era of formulaic sitcoms. Despite its brief run on television, the show has left a lasting impression on those who watched it, making it a must-watch for any fan of comedy and romance.
