O2D I almost never see any popular TV shows or movies and I frequently watch things that parody whatever is popular.That's usually a bad combination.You miss a lot of jokes that way.With Burning Love, I feel like I got all the jokes even though I have never seen any reality dating shows.This is one of those rare shows that gets better with every episode.I was sad when the first season ended but I quickly cheered up when I realized season 2 was even better.I have always been a big fan of the guys from The State and 20 years later they are still funny.This show also includes tons of lesser known comedians and people who starred in Adult Swim mini-shows.Of course those are all people that are very unknown outside of my head but to me they are all a-listers.June Diane Raphael is extremely funny and she makes season 2 a must watch for comedy fans.My favorite joke is that there was a season before the first and one between the first and second.Comedy gold.You have to see this show.

duffer-john kraegm objects to BL because "the genre itself is too close to a parody of itself so that this series doesn't have to reach very far beyond the original source material to actually parody it." On the contrary, I think this speaks to the genius of the project. A parody could have gone way over the top, but the fact that BL stays close to the source material (in tone if not in detail) drives the point home on how ridiculous the original show is.The way the actual show tries to pass off the charade of having one man sample and choose from a bunch of women as any sort of romantic or noble way of finding love is stupid, and the parody pokes great fun at this. A few examples are: when the bachelor at times admits he just wants some action, at the end when he begins fishing for someone to propose to, and when someone calls Haley a (derogatory term for a woman) and another girl makes the great observation that they are all like that simply because they are part of the contest.

deb-j-draper Before I saw "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" shows that this series parodies, I thought "Burning Love" was just funny. Having finally subjected myself to one of those nauseating source-material seasons, I can fully appreciate BL's humor, and can say that it is spot-on hilarious.And to the reviewer kraegm, who was forced to watch the first season in a movie format instead of a TV series format: that's just weird. I wouldn't like it either, if a bunch of distinct 15-minute dramatizations were smashed together in a continuum. Check out seasons 2 and 3 on non-Canadian sources, and see if you like them better.

aottewill Finally, someone has made a comprehensive, hilarious, spot-on send up of the ridiculous nature of The Bachelor/Bachelorette. I watched episode 1 twice in a row and laughed harder the second time. My only question...how many harrowing episodes of The Bachelor did the writer have to watch to get everything so perfect in Burning Love? Though it must have been painful, it was worth it. As for the cast, the celebrity cameos are delightful. Ken Marino has never been better (maybe that guest spot on Whitney?), and Michael Ian Black couldn't be more (in)sincere. I do hope we see more Ballerina...can she scale the wall of the mansion to get back in the game?
