Criticism
This series was hampered by a small budget and starred mostly lesser-known actors. Later-day critics, such as Castleman and Podrazik (1982), have cited Love Story, among other DuMont series, as one of the reasons fewer and fewer viewers tuned in to the ailing DuMont Network. They called the series "a simpering romance anthology" that, like several other DuMont programs during the 1953-1954 season was "doomed from the start by third-rate scripts and cheap production." The series did not last long, and the network itself began crumbling shortly thereafter.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“It is ... pathetic to observe the complete lack of imagination on the part of certain employers and men and women of the upper-income levels, equally devoid of experience, equally glib with their criticism ... directed against workers, labor leaders, and other villains and personal devils who are the objects of their dart-throwing. Who doesn’t know the wealthy woman who fulminates against the “idle” workers who just won’t get out and hunt jobs?”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Good criticism is very rare and always precious.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
