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.
