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.

Famous quotes containing the words love of, love and/or chair:
“If with light head erect I sing,
Though all the muses lend their force,
From my poor love of anything,
The verse is weak and shallow as its source.
But if with bended neck I grope,
Listening behind me for my wit,
With faith superior to hope,
More anxious to keep back than forward it,”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For love ... has two faces; one white, the other black; two bodies; one smooth, the other hairy. It has two hands, two feet, two tails, two, indeed, of every member and each one is the exact opposite of the other. Yet, so strictly are they joined together that you cannot separate them.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“I like that every chair should be a throne, and hold a king.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
