TV OD: “Cupid” in 5 – “Charming”


TV overdosing / Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

1. Yes this is a re-do. Jeremy Piven had the same sitcom back in the day. But this one is way more charming, and it doesn’t include Cupid in a dirty diaper.

2. It is your typical rom-com series, chockful of cliches and non-reality love moments that anyone who loves rom-coms will adore. It can be endearing, and tug on even the bitterest singledom’s sentimentatlity, but it might not be enough to win over a Tuesday audience full of cop shows and murder dramas.

3. Since I love rom-coms, this is my new favorite series.

4. Sarah Paulson (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip), and Bobby Cannavale (Will and Grace) round out a very charming cast of people falling in love, trying to fall in love, or just trying to understand it.

5. It’s charming. There is no substance (yet), but it’s a nice break in my Tuesday night schedule of NCIS and The Mentalist. So hopefully, it will find it’s niche.

Tuesdays on ABC, 9pm
