Love of Chair was a recurring sketch on the television program The Electric Company. It was seen primarily during the 1971–1972 season. The sketch was a parody of classic soap operas, and spoofed numerous aspects of these shows:
- The name of the sketch was based on the long-running TV soap opera Love of Life.
- The unseen announcer for the sketch was Ken Roberts, who at one time had been the announcer for Love of Life.
- The sketch featured background organ music similar in style to that of classic radio soap operas, including the use of dramatic strings during a key portion of the sketch.

“Because relationships are a primary source of self-esteem for girls and women, daughters need to know they will not lose our love if they speak up for what they want to tell us how they feel about things. . . . Teaching girls to make specific requests, rather than being indirect and agreeable, will help them avoid the pitfalls of having to be manipulative and calculating to get what they want.”
