Cupid

this show is fresh, funny, and excellently done! so many of the shows these days are used from junky recycled material, and this is one of those in 1998 are definitely are not. jeremy piven and paula marshall have great chemistry. the writing it great. the plots. all great. jeremy and paula are really great actors together.

all in all, i love it!

It's a testament to the strength of the writing on this show that 5 years later people still bemoan its cancellation. This was the next to last show I watched regularly on network television (the last was Freaks & Geeks which has finally been released on DVD, thank God!).

This was a brilliant show. I tried to explain it to a friend and failed. The stars had an abundance of chemistry and the show was a great balance of comedy, romance and drama. I was hoping Bravo would show it on "Brilliant but Canceled" or Lifetime would show a marathon or something, but to no avail. Now I'm hoping for a DVD release.

Maybe Cupid fans should petition Rob Thomas.

I'm another UK fan who only just discovered the show, only to find it has already been cancelled in the US.

As a huge Jeremy Piven fan, I was excited when I saw the show listed in the TV guide a few weeks ago, and I was not disappointed by a single episode (which I had to tape each day as it was shown in the daytime). It was different - witty, touching but not saccharine, and with something to say. Piven was showcased to perfection. I can only echo everyone else's disappointment and mystification as to why such an intelligent and innovative show was cancelled - but maybe I just answered my own question.

I loved Jeremy Piven as Trevor Hale, and Jeffrey D. Sams as his skeptical roommate. Piven was also a good match with the actress who played his psychiatrist. The show was well written, well acted. . .it looked at the subject of love from different angles. Finally, a show that doesn't talk down to the audience, and ABC blows the chance for a hit by cancelling it.

It's been five years since the cancellation of "Cupid" and I'm STILL mad at ABC for dropping the ball. "Cupid" was a clever, well written, original show that ABC did not know how to market. After moving it around 3 different nights and time slots, ABC finally canceled the show, claiming that there was no audience. Of course there was no audience! No one knew how to find the damn thing! Even I, a faithful viewer, had to ask, "I wonder what night Cupid will air THIS WEEK?" It was the beginning of the end for me. I mean, why tune into new, creative, original shows if the networks are just going to cancel them anyway (BEFORE they have a chance to find their audience), and instead opt to saturate their line-up with the same old crap? Hmmm... Bottom line: "Cupid" was a great show, and if there is any justice in this world, the series will be released on DVD (Why not? Everything else has been...)
