I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I got my grubby little hands on a set of DVD copies of VHS copies of this great show I always remember as one of those great shows that get cancelled far too soon. The video quality is not great, very fuzzy, but it does not prevent me from completely enjoying this series. I just watched four episodes in a row, and I'm not one for sitting down and watching a lot of TV.I agree that they should release this show as a DVD release. I would buy a better copy, but in the mean time, I love my crappy, amateur made DVDs like crazy! The stories are complex and witty, the chemistry between Piven and everyone is great, and paying close attention to the rapid fire repartee is handsomely rewarding. There, is that ten lines of text for you, IMDb?

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 didn't take the time to read through all of the other comments so maybe the answer is already in there somewhere. But I have never seen any rational explanation for the cancellation of this show, especially after just one season. Did the Christian Right object to the glorification of pagan gods? Did one of the producers run off with the teenage daughter of a network suit so they shut down production just out of spite? The writing and acting were superb. There was one particular episode that I've forgotten the exact details of where one of the couples Cupid tries to match up end up not working out but the guy dies in an accident and the girl ends up receiving his heart in a transplant. I wept like a baby. It's still one of my all-time favorite single episodes of any television series. This show should have run for years with the built-in premise of Cupid having to create 100 couples (hence 100 episodes- hello ABC!).

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.
