I've just finished watching the 15 episodes..
god was i pissed after!
It's so perfect!Why the cancellation?!
I've never heard of this show before until I became a fan of Piven but I think that even if I didn't know him yet, I would've still loved it!
New Cupid is about to air as a Mid-season pickup- Still with Rob Thomas at the helm....
sharewhat network and when? i'd be interested in giving this a shot. the Piven series was priceless, i loved Piven's Cupid. it was funny and sarcastic and (although fictional) believable. i hope this new version will keep that aspect and be some good.
shareWhere did you see the episodes? I loved that show when it was on and seeing the commercials for the new version of it have been making me pine for the original.

I had no idea who Jeremy Piven was at the time this aired, and I thought it was an awesome show. It was, I believe, the first in a long string of quality programming I, personally, enjoyed, that has gotten the axe on one of several networks in the past decade. It's a sad reality.
I have been dubious ever since noting they are giving this another go, and IMO it's going to be difficult for me to give another actor a chance in the role, but we'll see.. Ep 01 of the new run is waiting on my DVR (probably half borked due to a crappy Verizon DVR and/or service.. I note it's in two pieces, so there are issues).
I'm becoming numb to the antics of network execs that want instant ratings for everything nowadays and cannot give a show a chance, changing its slot, preempting it in its normal slot for "special events" or re-showings of a Michael Jackson interview or the season finale of "the Bachelorette!" or some such nonsense.. *ARGH!*
Well, if you've never seen "Lost" then I feel sorry for you.
share"Well, if you've never seen "Lost" then I feel sorry for you."
LOL, yeah right, you must feel really sorry for anyone who hasn't seen that c**k tease of a show. A bunch of random bs thrown together.
I feel sorry feel the folks who don't watch LOST also.
It is the only show I watch on ABC so I could not boycott for a while yet.
When Lost goes into it's final season next year, we will see
a frenzy like we've never seen before of people trying to get into the Lost
show. No doubt.
There are approximately and exactly 24 hours of LOST remaining . . .
most of the good shows get the axe since they are good! it is the crapy shows that live on and on and on!

Claiming that Lost is a bunch of random BS just proves you didn't have the capacity to even understand the show, and failed to watch it regularly as one is supposed to do with a serialized television show.
shareDoesn't matter.. If a show can't grip you in 3-6 episodes it's just not for you. Period. Nothing more or less. I gave Lost a chance mostly because I was a big Terry O'Quinn fan. The show just didn't grab me. Didn't interest me, our excite me to want to come back. And I am sure many others have felt that way about different shows. But I have gotten past the point of saying a person is dumb. Just that some shows just aren't for me.
