I AM A GOLDEN GOD: I've never seen the original Cupid, though enough people I trust have raved about it that I'd pick up a reasonably priced DVD set, and I've seen a few clips. That said, I enjoyed the pilot of the reinvention--nice to play "recognize the NYC landmark!" and Sarah Paulson can seemingly have good chemistry with a brick wall. That said, while Bobby Cannavale is an able comic actor, he seems misplaced here--too "big lug" and not roguish enough to really work. I can immediately see how Piven would have worked, and can't think of the perfect option immediately (Matthew Perry? Tom Cavanaugh?), but this just seems off. I know we have a number of fans of the original--what were your thoughts?
