Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Cupid was a romantic Dramedy series that aired for one season in 1998 on ABC, by Rob Thomas, who also worked on Dawson's Creek and later created Veronica Mars.It starred Jeremy Piven as Trevor Hale and Paula Marshall as Dr. Claire Allen.The show's premise was simple. Trevor was an outpatient who had to keep seeing his psychiatrist, Dr. Allen, for treatment of his delusion: that he believes himself to be the Cupid, Roman god of love, kicked off Olympus and stripped of his godly powers by Zeus for slacking off on his duties (which is why mortals have such a high divorce rate). Trevor cannot return home to Olympus until he has made one hundred lasting romantic pairings. Claire works with him on recovering from this delusion — only the show never makes it clear: is Trevor just a deluded romantic, or is he really who he says he is? We don't know; but one thing is certain: Trevor is a really gifted matchmaker and an incurable romantic.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Trevor works as a bartender, along with his friend Champ, the better to be in position to find lonely singles and make those matches.After it screwed him the first time, ABC agreed, an incredible decade after the demise of the original show, to revisit the idea and give the show another season with a brand new cast. | |

Fangirl: Claire's love for Sunset And Vaughn is strong enough that she's unsettled when her inner fangirl shows up as she's acting as a professional. | |

Literary Agent Hypothesis | |
| Cupid / int_24da7ff8 | comment |
Literary Agent Hypothesis - Trevor treats the book of mythology as if some writer got most of the details right. He claims Cupid has no mortal wife called Psyche. Presumably because if Trevor is Cupid, he just hasn't found her yet. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Cupid / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: One plot concerning an Irish busker looking for a New York girl he met briefly contains lots of riffs on scenes from Once and PS I Love You. The first season finale was a reworking of the first show's second episode, The Linguist, with a side plotline being taken from the original pilot. | |
