Cupidity

Stan! emails news today about the remake of Cupid, a 10-year-dead TV show by Rob Thomas that you don't remember, which we have an entirely unrelated in-joke about.

Since I think Jeremy Piven is hi-freaking-larious, I am biased against believing that anyone will follow him well. However, my enjoyment of Jeremy Piven is nosed out by my don't-give-a-crap about the whole thing.

EXCEPT that it provides an opportunity to mock entertainment executives. Excerpts from the email I sent back to Stan!:

Here's my docudrama on how that went down:

TV Executive 1: Hey Veronica Mars guy, what else you got? Can you make... I dunno... Veronica Saturn or sumpin?

Rob Thomas: How about we try this Cupid idea again... nobody watched it the first time, so it'll SEEM like new!

TV Executive 2: Thomas, you're a genius! You've done it again!


Stan!'s response:

That is much TOO plausible for my comfort level.
