Burning Love is a scripted comedy series produced by Ben Stiller, which is a spoof of reality dating competition shows like The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad. The show was created and written by Erica Oyama, while her husband, Ken Marino, co-produced, directed and starred in the series.
The show premiered on the web on Yahoo! Screen's Comedy Channel and was later picked up for television. In 2013, the series was nominated for an Emmy in the Outstanding Special Class - Short-format Live-Action Entertainment Programs category.

Depending on the season, the show either follows a man or a woman who is looking for the perfect mate from a pool of contestants, or has contestants living together in a mansion competing for a cash prize. Season one showcases fireman Mark Orlando (Ken Marino) as the bachelor. Season two of the series, which premiered in February 2013, stars June Diane Raphael reprising her role as season one contestant Julie, now the bachelorette given the chance to find the perfect man. Season three also premiered in 2013 and starred former contestants from seasons one and two competing for a $900 prize rather than for love (similar to Bachelor spin-off, Bachelor Pad).
The seasons of the show as listed do not match the internally referenced season chronology because of two fictitious seasons. Internally season one references the Joe Rutherford (Ben Stiller) season, and seasons two and three reference the Annie (Abigail Spencer) season. Neither of these seasons actually occurred but are frequently mentioned during the course of various real episodes. Season three also announced a nonexistent season with superfan Hathwell Crisping.
