(S01E03) This episode really lacked the charm and spirit of the first two. We did get to see the kooky Julie Hagerty as Claire's kooky mom. That was a plus. But you know a show isn't winning you over when the star's designer T-shirts are more interesting than the plot.

Only three episodes in and the Cupid cancellation rumors are swirling. According to some sites, the show is already dead. I might have been upset about Cupid going bye bye two weeks ago. Today, not so much.

I won't weep for a show that delivers warmed over fluff instead of compelling stories and interesting characters week after week. The first two episodes weren't amazing, but the charming cast, some great guest stars and the show's optimistic spirit managed to make them watchable. Tonight's ep dragged, the story and the couple of the week were straight outta dullsville, and Trevor and Claire's banter is getting old fast.

So is the will-they-or-won't-they-hook-up subplot. It's annoying that every other character on the show has to force the issue that Trevor and Claire might make a good couple. But I get why that happens. They have no chemistry together. Bobby Cannavale and Sarah Paulson are talented performers, but there's no way I'll ever buy them as a potential romantic couple on this show. Cannavale's Trevor is too eccentric and spastic while Paulson's Claire is too practical and drab. That's the point, of course. They're opposites who are supposed to be attracted to each other, but the attraction is forced and labored. There's nothing there.

While watching that final scene with these two characters at the dinner table, they seemed like old platonic friends sharing war stories over a plate of spaghetti. It was definitely not romantic.

Neither was the main plot of this episode. I won't even get into the clichéd liberal vs. conservative love story here. Let's just say that even a pair of decent guest stars couldn't save it.

For once, I agree with the masses. Last night's episode of Cupid wasn't very good and it probably deserved the low ratings. My words might sound harsh, but that's my honest instant reaction. I think it's time to move on to watching and reviewing better shows. I hope series creator Rob Thomas delivers something fresh next time around (and maybe on a cable network). I also hope we get to see the great actor Rick Gomez (Trevor's boss Felix) land a plum role in a good show after this one eventually gets the axe.
