What is even happening?

Oh, Urkel.

SO people are talking about Cupid, here? I expected it in Boxed Set. I guess I'm putting too much stock in him being Cupid. It makes sense here too, since it's a dramedy.

Sean Maquire is the the matchmaking case du jour on the premiere of Cupid, and he is both much, MUCH hotter than the last time I saw him on TV and is speaking in a Scottish accent. Do you know what it takes to make Bobby Cannavale fade into the background for me?!?

He really did, didn't he? I found myself wishing Dave and Maddie would be the secondary characters, rather than the bar owning brother and sister. I thought the pilot was all right, but I don't know if I'd be watching it if I wasn't paid to.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, are you recapping? I didn't know!

I don't know where we're talking about Cupid. I enjoyed the pilot more than I expected.

I am. It's only getting a "weecap" though, which, when I'm writing it is a meaningless distinction for readers. I just get a way shorter deadline and a lot less money.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I kept thinking you guys were mispelling Urkel and was like "WHA?! He's certainly...changed."

So glad I'm not the only one!

I saw my copy at Target for $20 so I snapped it up. Mostly I needed that space on the Tivo.
