Glen here...
Welcome to COAXIAL, the realm of TV happiness! ((rolls eyes, sighs audibly))
After yesterday's statement indicating Mystery Science Theater 3000 is in its final season, and today's oh-so-zany announcement that Crusade has somehow managed to get itself canceled before it even hit the air (I'm guessing this is likely some sort of network record), I thought long and hard about holding onto this next bit of news until the dust had settled a bit.
None the less, I figure: let's just get it over with. So, here you go.
VITAMIN BEE just sent the following news in regarding the possibilities of resurrecting Cupid, which was recently canceled by ABC - and the subject of fiery fan protest aimed towards getting the show back on the air. As loyal readers may recall from previous (and frequent) Coaxial coverage, there were more than a few vocal parties strongly opposed to ABC canceling the series.
Then came word that networks such as Fox and The WB might be interested in granting Cupid salvation. Many people really, really tried to bring this show back from the abyss.
Alas, Vitamin Bee's message suggests their efforts were to no avail. Vitamin Bee's message speaks for itself.

Several fans had gathered funds to put a ("Save Cupid!") ad in Variety.
When word came down the pike that Cupid's creator (Rob Thomas) was joining the producing / writing team of David Kelley's new ABC series Snoops (Paula Marshall, Cupid's Claire, had already committed to pilot a week before), one of the fans putting the Variety ad together e-mail Rob Thomas and he basically said:
Good thing he told us too, since we were about two days away from committing several thousand dollars for an ad to Variety.
