Rob Thomas has announced to Variety that his short-lived dramedy starring Jeremy Piven and Paula Marshall will get another shot on ABC. For those of you who've never heard of it, Cupid was about a guy convinced he's the God of Love (Piven), sent back to Earth to hook up 100 couples before going back to Mount Olympus. He's forced by court order to attend therapy sessions, where he becomes enamoured with his shrink (Marshall).
Before the 4.3 people who care about this get excited, let's look at all the ways in which this is a bad idea:
First, this show only made it 15 episodes during its first run, back in 1998.
Second, the revival won't feature Piven or Marshall.
Third, ABC has shown zero interest in this show for the last eight years.
I loved Cupid, but if this ends up happening for real, I think I'll steer clear and wait for the original on DVD.
