Love Therapy

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

Brilliantly written, expertly acted and genuinely insightful, Cupid was a hallmark show for television. I'm a 40 year old man and I found myself shedding a few tears at the heartfelt issues that it dealt with. This was a stellar comedy that gave credit to the viewers' intelligence. Like a Shakespearean play, the comedy was used to pull you in while their sweet message of interpersonal relationships was delivered in an intelligent, unpatronizing way. Jeremy Piven is my newest hero. He is the embodiment of what every intelligent man should be; fun without fear, self assured without being cocky and sensitive without being a wimp. What can I say about Paula Marshall; extraordinarily beautiful with an Einstein I.Q. that radiates through her eyes. This was an amazing show and I would buy every episode if I could get my hands on them.

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????

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.

Although I'm not 30 or something like that, but more of an ‘old' teenager I like this show a lot. It is very funny (especially Cupid (Jeremy Piven) is, always trying to fix people up and who for some reason is always arguing with Claire (Paula Marshall)). This really is a funny, cosy, light hearted, realistic (apart from the fact of Cupid if he really is the Greek love god) and charming little TV series and I think it is a pity it was cancelled. Therefore I hope it'll have the same fate as ER, which is to flop, be cancelled and then reappear on screen again a few years later, only to be a long lasting HIT show.
