"Fireworks" - When Ben Parr and Kate Swanson meet accidentally in New York, they make a date for later that evening and each bring along their best friends, Larry and Connie, who instantly despise each other, on MAD LOVE, a new comedy premiering Monday, Feb. 14 (8:30-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  The series is executive produced by Matt Tarses and Jamie Tarses.

MAD LOVE is a comedy about a quartet of New Yorkers-two who are falling in love and another two who despise each other (at least for now).  Ben, a lawyer, is a hopeless romantic trying to build a relationship with Kate, a beautiful, smart girl whom Ben thinks is the woman of his dreams.  Larry, Ben's unrefined best friend and co-worker, is a guy who doesn't believe in love and has a long track record as the third wheel.  Kate's roommate, Connie, works as a nanny and finds Larry aggravating...or does she?  Larry and Connie have a lot in common, but refuse to let their guard down long enough to see it.
