Cupid

I see I have plenty of company. I thought the show was GREAT and so did my mom. In a sea of sitcoms that were basically repeats of "Friends" and "reality" shows where people lived on an island and ate dirt, "Cupid" was original and creative and fresh, and it was the perfect partnering of realism and fantasy. This show was EXCELLENT, and I made it a point to watch every episode ever made -- I looked FORWARD to it every week! And what did the stupid Suits at the Awfully Boneheaded Clods network do? They YANKED IT RIGHT OFF THE AIRWAVES! Man, does that bite the sword or WHAT? They said that the show didn't have enough of an audience. Is it any freaking WONDER? If the Suits at the network of Awfully Boneheaded Clods weren't changing its time slot on us, they pre-empted it with some stale movie repeat! Smart move -- NOT! How could this terrific piece of entertainment find an audience if the Suits didn't even freakin' give it a chance?

Well, what do you expect? As long as the television airwaves are controlled by faceless corporate companies instead of by us viewers, the people who watch the shows, stuff like this is going to happen

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.

The best program on television. Unfortunately, ABC has "suspended production" of Cupid, which I assume is the first step on the road to cancellation/oblivion. Piven is fantastic, and the theme song by the Pretenders really stands out in the vast wasteland of TV music.

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!

Delightful and beautifully crafted writing. Stunning locations and sets. Jeremy Piven and Paula Marshall are magic together. And the endings ... the endings leave you with a smile on your face and a song in your heart.

WHY oh WHY cancel this show????
