I think it should be forbidden to cancel series without a final episode to give teh viewers some closure!! I’m sick of it! I have watched so many series and then suddenly they pull the plug without even a proper ending. That is REALLY frustrating!!! I really liked Cupid Come on people, how hard is it to make just ONE more episode with a proper ending. We viewers invest a lot of time in watching and we deserve more i think.

The original Cupid was aired in the late 90′s…and I loved it. And I love this one, too. I’m sad.

I was really looking forward to watching “Cupid” tonight but instead, “The Unusuals” recorded…? What’s up with that…?

I like “The Unusuals but I (really) love “Cupid”!
So well-written, so sweet & funny & uplifting & romantic…!

I sure hope it doesn’t get cancelled. It’s one of my top 5 favorite shows…
Here’s hoping…

Well, since they only gave it three eps before replacing it with “The Unusuals”, I think it’s safe to say that ABC has almost certainly screwed Cupid a second time.

I’m really getting tired of watching “new” shows and having them cancel them before they have any chance. I’m getting closer and closer to an inviolate policy of NEVER watching ANY new show until it’s been on for a half-season or more.
>:-(

> CANCEL THE GOOD SHOWS AND RENEW THE BAD!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. Keep “Eli Stone”, but cancel Cupid after you’ve seen *one* ep. ‘Nuff said, chowderhead.

I never expected them to give it a chance. But having done so, ABC are morons for not giving it enough showings to capture any kind of audience. Further, the sort of pinhead that watches a “reality” show isn’t going to be interested in a fantasy. Are we surprised by this? Does the pontiff defecate in the forested regions?

This show should be back to back with **Pushing Daisies**. THEN ABC might have some kind of a “romantic comedy night” going and drawing audiences.

Instead they suck, and they deserve to suck. I hope CBS keeps kicking their butts so that someone with a clue will take over the network.

PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW!!! There’s really no other show out there that’s like this. Are romance shows hard to sell these days? Enough with the crappy shows that is about lawyers, Drs, and reality TVs shows…

ENJOYED ALL 3 EPISODES. IT’S A CHICK SHOW. LIGHT HEARTED AND HUMOROUS.

KEEP!!! First, “lLife On Mars,” and now this. I love this show! Give it a chance! I can’t believe after only 3 weeks of putting a show on the air and at such a random time of the year at that, they’re canceling it! People are out enjoying spring not looking for a new show to watch. At least try it out in the fall before axing it. I will boycott ABC if they do this. I’m sick of this.

I don’t know what to say about this. I caught the original on line and fell absolutely head-over-heals in love with it. It was refreshing to see such a quirky, quick witted and literary intelligent romantic comedy on tv considering all the other teenage crap we’re all exposed to. Piven and Marshelle executed their roles brilliantly and completely captured my attention. When I found out they canceled it, despite it’s strong critical acclaim and their stupid schedule tamperings, I was so disappointed in ABC that I hadn’t watched it in almost a month now. Absolutely ridiculous.

But yes, I checked out one episode of the remake and I am so disappointed! Rob Thomas has toned it down considerably to be all fluffy and cute and….TEENAGE CRAP. There is no more witty, snarky, sarcastic yet still romantic chemistry between the characters AT ALL. So, considering the mediocre cast and amateurish writing, I want it to be canceled.

On the other hand, I want to know where this is going! Maybe I can just…imagine Piven in the role?

I love cupid! If abc cancels this series I will boycott abc. Everytime they come out with a great new show they cancel it within the 1st year. The show definately has potential. They need to keep it on the same night at the same time. The more they switch around the shows dates and times the more people aren’t going to watch. They need to start giving shows a chance especially this one. Its a keeper!!!!!!

I rarely watch abc, and was flipping through the tv guide and found Cupid… Could it be? yes, and no.

I absolutly loved the original. While the characters are the same… it still makes me long for the old cast.

I’ll give it a few more episodes before i make my decision if i like it or not. Or course if i end up liking it, abc will probably send it out the door.

i really liked cupid.
it’s like a chick flick show but i enjoyed the romance, even if it is a little cheesy. I really like the chemistry between Bobby Cannaval + Sarah Paulson, lots of it!

If quality programs like Jericho, Eli Stone and Pushing Daisies didn’t stand a chance, who is going to support creativity and risk taking in television production?

I’m still in mourning over Starved (short lived excellence from FX) and Firefly whch I discoverd on Sci Fi 2years after it was cancelled.

I love televison but am strongly considering not watching any new shows on the networks anymore, it seems that as soon as I’m hooked on a show, it gets the hook.

[...] shows went down the tubes. This current incarnation seems destined to do the same. According to TV Series Finale, “Cupid” debuted in last place for its timeslot, attracting an average of 7.6 million viewers. [...]

I watched the original Cupid and think this one has a chance. However, I think people are tired of ABC not standing behind series by moving them to different days and time slots and generally not giving them a chance to find an audience. I would say a lot more of their shows will be cancelled even sooner because people won’t want to be involved in something they will cancel anyway.

I have been a HUGE fan of Bobby Cannavale since “Third Watch” and I love him in anything (he was excellent in “Will & Grace”), so I thought he was perfect for “Cupid”…he’s sooooo cute & funny…please keep Cupid on…it’s sad to find a show that I like and then see it get axed,

Bobby C. fan!!!!!!!

The new actor in Cupid can’t hold a candle to Piven. When I first saw the ads I had high hopes that they brought it back with the original cast. They make no sense showing this crap and cancelling ELI STONE which was one of the best shows on and networks. (in My humble opinion) I was also a fan of Life on Mars. What’s next….. are they gonna off Life, Heroes and Chuck….. Maybe the stupidity will spread and they can get rid of CSI, Miami and all the rest of the good ones. And they wonder why their ratings are so crappy.

This show is stupid. I tried to watch this, I even kept it on til the end but I lost interest half way through. Why cancel Eli Stone Dammit!!. I was already pissed when Journey Man was canceled, Don’t think about renewing Knight Rider u Dumb-asses. CANCEL THE GOOD SHOWS AND RENEW THE BAD!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was just stupid and weird. They should consider canceling it and try to switch around the schedule and bring back Eli Stone. It deserves to be brought. We definitely need Eli Stone in times like these.

They should have ordered more episodes of Life on Mars and moved it to this day and timeslot. I watched Cupid and while it is a cute concept, I’m not sure it will work for very long.

That said, they decided to remake Cupid ten years after the original, so maybe Life on Mars has a chance of being brought back too – but hopefully it won’t take ten years for it to happen.

Unbelievable that ABC was stupid enough to revive a show that had flopped once, & ten years ago at that! Apparently, the flops of revivals “Jericho, Knight Rider”, & Hunter” didn’t teach them anything. I mean, shoot, the three shows mentioned above were hits at one time, while “Cupid” never was. What’s to make’em think that if a show tanked in its initial run, that it’s gonna succeed if revived?
