Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

A lot of fun.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

A friend watched this on youtube and recommended it to me. It wasn't the first time I'd heard of it but it was the first time I knew where to watch it. I watched the first episode...and was hooked.I love Jeremy Piven as an actor, I think he has great comedic timing and this where it shines. Paula Marshall (who I last saw in More Than A Feeling, I think it was called, with Bette Midler) is also very good. The straight character to Piven's crazy one.The show was created by Rob Thomas, creator of Veronica Mars. And Hart Hanson, creator of Bones, was the consulting/supervising producer for the show. Basically Piven's character, Trevor Hale, believes he's Cupid, the Greco-Roman God of Erotic Love. Whether he is or not is left for the audience to figure out. Personally I believe he is but that's just me. Marshall is his psychologist, Claire Allen. I recommend this show to anyone who believes in love, the Greek Gods and Jeremy Piven.It is being remade for TV again. I wonder if that will be good enough to compare to the excellence that Cupid was.

Every once in a while a great new TV show steps out of the box and delivers an actually originally new series. I thought this was a great series and looked forward to watching every week. The cast was great and chemistry. This was an excellent showcase for Jeremy and Paula. If this show was still on I would still be watching. It was well written and really made you wonder if he was who he claimed to be. He had a great way of getting to the seed of the guests problem and helping them to get the love they were looking for. There was obvious opportunities for a love interest to develop between the main characters and I looked forward to seeing how all this would play out. In Short..... This show should still be on TV and I am not the only one to think so. I have seen many bootleg copies of this show on ebay. I would be great if it came out on DVD.

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

"Cupid" was the lovely Paula Marshall's second of four short-lived series in as many years (after "Chicago Sons," and before "Snoops" and the appropriately named "Cursed"). In addition to ABC cancelling it after 14 episodes aired, this charmer (the show, not Paula) made its way to UK screens in 2001 on Channel 5, which showed all fifteen episodes in an idiotic weekday afternoon slot - fortunately I was off work while it was on, otherwise I'd have never known what I'd have missed.To wit: Spot-on acting from Jeremy Piven as the man who may or may not have been Cupid (one of the series's many strengths was that it never actually said for sure whether or not he was the god of love, preferring instead to let us make up our own minds), Jeffrey D. Sams as his actor roommate who was determined to make it without doing stereotyped black roles, and Marshall as the psychiatrist in charge of our hero's case - in charge for sure, but never unsympathetic.Romantic entanglements that didn't always work out, even though the viewer always hoped they would (and which made it even sweeter when they did).Just enough edge to take the sugar off for those who detest sentimentality, but enough whimsy to maintain the feeling of fantasy - a tough act to pull off but creator Rob Thomas and the other writers pulled it off. Captivating, funny and touching all the way, this may have been doomed by its very concept (shows where someone has to achieve a set number of tasks never seem to work - "Brimstone," "The 100 Lives of Black Jack Savage," etc), but at least it went out before it had a chance to degenerate.For what it's worth, I think he was the real deal.
