Eve is an American television sitcom, created by Meg DeLoatch, that originally aired on United Paramount Network from September 15, 2003, to May 11, 2006. It features an ensemble cast with Eve (pictured), Jason George, Ali Landry, Natalie Desselle-Reid, Brian Hooks, and Sean Maguire as six friends attempting to navigate relationships with the opposite sex. Produced by The Greenblatt-Janollari Studio, Mega Diva Inc., and Warner Bros. Television, the series was developed as a vehicle for Eve under the working title The Opposite Sex, and was targeted to younger audiences. After being picked up, the show was renamed Eve to attract the rapper's fans. The series was set in Miami, but filmed at Sunset Gower Studios in Hollywood, Los Angeles. Eve suffered from low viewership in spite of high ratings among young Hispanic women. The cancellations of this series and other black sitcoms were criticized by media outlets for reducing representation of African American characters and the number of roles for African American actors on television. Critical response to Eve was mixed, but the show and Eve received several award nominations.
