Cupid

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.

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

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????

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.
