Science of Love
television series
Science of Love: A Modern Dating Experiment is an NBC reality dating special hosted by Mark Consuelos and starring NFL football player Adam Johnson. The show was produced by 3 Ball Productions and Joke Productions. It premiered on Monday, June 25, 2007.
The one-hour TV special explored whether science could offer a method of achieving love, and pitted experimental methods against a more instinctual approach.
After choosing a woman he was initially attracted to, Adam was then presented with a date chosen by him for science. After dating both, Adam had to choose whether or not he wanted to continue with the woman he originally chose, or the option presented to him by science.
On the special, the scientific match, Casey Dee, won Adam's heart. As a prize, the two were flown to Hawaii.

Why this record matters
“Science of Love” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Science, Love and television provides the most credible route into that argument.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7433699. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2007.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
