icepixieThings have been happening with the new Cupid! I, being in a grad school haze for the past four months, had not been paying much attention, but IMDB has, and here is a summary of/reaction to all the news:
- The pilot premieres on Tuesday, March 24th at 10/9 Central on ABC.
- There are 21 photos up there, and may I just say it is very strange to see what is obviously the singles group set with all different people in it.
- In the pictures, Bobby Canavale doesn't look as puckish at Jeremy Piven, but perhaps the camera just didn't capture his particular brand of Trevor's madcapness.
- Can't tell much about how Sarah Paulson's Claire is going to work out, but again, odd to see her there when the last time I saw her was ten years ago on Jack & Jill.
- There are two supporting characters, "Felix" and "Lita." From the pictures, I think they might have split up Champ's role, giving the coworker half to Lita and the roommate half to Felix, but that's just speculation. Lita, at least, appears to work in the bar. (My other bit of speculation is that there will be at least a season-long attempt by Trevor to get them together, and then they will be the show's beta cople.)
- Apparently one couple of the week will bond over karaoke. Oh, I can't wait. < / sarcasm >
ETA: And there is a trailer! So, so weird to hear lines from the original pilot coming out of new people's mouths. (And they changed their last names? Weird.) It looks altogether more slick than the original, but that could be because it's, y'know, presented as a movie trailer, with the movie voiceover guy and everything. It looks good so far...
