Cupid 2.0

So, do you remember that really awesome show from the late 90s called Cupid that was on ABC? You don't? Huh. Neither do most people. It was a great romantic dramedy starring Jeremy Piven and Paula Marshall as a nutso (or is he?) guy named Trevor who claims to be a banished Cupid and his therapist, respectively. Trevor/Cupid has to match 100 couples before he can return to Olympus, but is he crazy, or is he really Cupid? It was AWESOME, I tell you. Whatever, ABC used to be cancel-happy back in the day, so it was toast.

A few days ago, The Hollywood Reporter reported that ABC has seen the error of their ways (plus, now that creator Rob Thomas, one of the most AWESOMEST people EVER, creator of one of my favoritest, if not my favoritest, TV show EVER, Veronica Mars, is famous within the industry because of said amazing show) and has greenlit a new version of Cupid. What the hell? I'm not going to lie... I am both nervous and excited about it. Believe me that I am going to be keeping an eye on this project until its fruition.

Needless to say, both original stars will not be involved. Jeremy Piven is now a multiple Emmy winner for his role as frenetic superagent Ari Gold on Entourage, and Paula Marshall, a Thomas stalwart (from Cupid to the David E. Kelley-created/Thomas-helmed Snoops to a recurring role as guidance counselor Rebecca James on Veronica Mars), has made some slightly frightening guest spots on shows in the last season - from vomitting on Californication to shitting on Nip/Tuck. Yes, you read that right.

So, Cupid, huh? I'm not going to lie... a resurrection of Veronica Mars would have been more welcome. But I'll take take this for now.
