Memorable, crazy movie

Don't listen to the negative reviews

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

A unique take on a contemporary romantic comedy. Written very well, with life throwing both ups and down at the characters. Just the right touch of the charming twist of an ending to each show. Excellent acting, great scripts. To the point of saying, "hey...that happened to me!" Sadly like many great shows, this one was mismanaged into oblivion by the network, ABC. Changing time slots, preempting a new episode for a rerun of a crummy movie instead. It's like they wanted the show to fail. Years later, I still miss this show. I mean this show even has Human (the Pretenders) as a theme song...how cool is that?

I've been watching the new series Entourage and really like Piven's character. Although Entourage is a great show, it's really not in the same category as Cupid was. I remember watching a few episodes of Cupid and thought it was one of the THE best shows ever written and produced. I'm glad to see all the positive reviews even after the show was canceled a while ago. Hopefully someone will finally make the big push to put this series on DVD to cure all the Cupid's fan's appetites, its the least they can do since the show is no longer being produced, otherwise that would truly be ideal. Jeremy Piven is a wonderfully diverse actor and has been nominated for quite a few awards but I still think he is very under-rated for his performances.

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...)

All the episodes of this short-lived series speak to all who still believe in romance. During its run, the show stood out from the reality-tv (now fading fast)/lowest-common denominator humor shows, which may help explain its lack of backing. I don't have to stress that times have changed and that people need inspiration from stories that are light-hearted yet come with a serious message. My 2-cents: Bring the cast/writers back together for a limited run and see if there is anything there.
