To bad about Patinkin. I like him as Rube.

Movie comes out 2/17.

Subject: Flipping channels, tonight through ABC---wth?
I caught a commercial on ABC that said they're going to have a "new show" called Cupid...Which is odd, because they cancelled a show with Jeremy Piven and Paula Marshall, waaaaaay back when.  So, I google "cupid," and they really are re-doing the same show!  [wtf?!]

Is it just me, or does a TV executive's job just involve throwing darts at a board? 

It reminds me, in a weird way, of the trend of remaking TV shows from the '70s as movies.  (Starsky & Hutch really didn't need that tribute movie.)

I developed a terrible thing for Paula Marshall, watching the old show Cupid; and it was the begining of Jeremy Piven getting on my personal RADAR as an entertaining actor... 

I guess I wish them all luck, but if/when I see the show --I'll be thinking about the original show/cast.

Now we can all sit back & wonder if the Firefly movie means there's no chance of the same thing happening with that show...  :(     I really don't know which would be worse:  another try at Firefly --with cheezier cast, or more of nothing.

Well, at least they have Rob Thomas creating and producing it (the original creator; also creator of Veronica Mars, which is another show to add to the list), so it should be of good quality.

Yeah, we'll all keep our fingers' crossed.

To me, it's still sad though, that the show was cancelled with Piven [maybe somebody asked for more money??], and that Pushing Daisies was cancelled to make room for antics like this...

I do have one positive thing to say about ABC though.  Life on Mars (1st season) is pretty good.  I love the "before everything had to be politically correct" material.  Harvey Keitel gets some awesome non-PC lines...

(Hell ---NBC would have cancelled Pushing Daisies after 7-8 episodes...)

It's almost worst that Pushing Daisies got canceled mid-2nd season vs. 1st season; because, it let us get our hopes up that the show might actually stick around.

I cautiously enjoyed the show last year, knowing it was too quirky to stick.  Then, when it returned, I fully immersed myself in it, and started thinking about all the places they could take it.  Foolish me.

It's out on the Piratenet now. It's not a bad little movie, but "Daisy" is a horrendous actress in this, the new boss is a douche, and it leaves a whole lot of unanswered questions from the series and even more with the ones it opened. I'd give it a 6.5/10
