Cupid's Arrow Strikes Again Starting Tonight
It's not like TV remakes are anything new (holla, 90210!). But a show's creator getting another shot at his or her own failed series is practically unheard of. That's why I'm curious about Cupid, the new — well, and old — series from Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas that starts tonight on ABC.
Which New Spring Show Are You Looking Forward to Most?
This Spring is filled with lots of good, new, intriguing TV! Castle already got underway this week, and tons of other premieres are in the lineup for the coming weeks. So, what show are you making room for on your schedule?

Castle, Reaper, and Other Shows Coming to a TV Near You
CBS and ABC both released their midseason schedules this week, and the CW dribbled out a few little teases, giving us an almost complete picture of what we'll be watching on TV in 2009. It's good news for fans of Reaper and Nathan Fillion, and not such good news for those who love Pushing Daisies or Ashton Kutcher reality shows.
Some of the highlights:
- Castle, Cupid, and The Unusuals all made ABC's midseason schedule.
First Look: Cupid
I've been curious for a while now about ABC's Cupid, which is expected to air sometime this Spring. It comes from the mind of Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas, who's been given the chance to remake his own short-lived 1998 show. We first heard about the remake more than a year ago, and finally, there's some footage!
ABC Picks Up Five Shows for Midseason
The Fall TV season hasn't even started yet, and already, at least one network is looking a few months ahead. ABC, which only has one new scripted show (Life on Mars) on its Fall schedule, has picked up three dramas and two comedies for midseason.
Among them: Rob Thomas's Cupid, his remake of his own 1998 show, which now stars Sarah Paulson and Bobby Cannavale (at right).
Sarah Paulson Shot by Cupid's Arrow
Sarah Paulson, last seen as the uptight Harriet Hayes on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, is heading back to TV — in a comedy this time. Paulson has landed the female lead in Cupid, Rob Thomas' remake of his own 1998 series.
Paulson will play opposite Bobby Cannavale on the show, which originally aired for one season on ABC.

"Veronica Mars" creator Rob Thomas has a new project: a remake ... of his own canceled show.
Thomas and ABC have signed a deal to resurrect "Cupid," Thomas' short-lived 1998 show about a man (Jeremy Piven, post-"Ellen" and pre-"Entourage") who thinks he's the legendary matchmaker, sent to earth by Zeus and tasked with helping loveless souls.
