An Entire Sketchbook v2 – 2 of 2

An Entire Sketchbook v2 - 2 of 2 (mleiv.com)
Medium: Pencil Size: 5X7"
I just finished another sketchbook! I am still using the ratty 5x7 moleskine variety. It's just less commitment. :P

These are still mostly drawn from TV, although since I moved I no longer have a Tivo, so I am having to do more DVD (which sucks on apple - they may make great software on the whole but frontrow + mac remote is THE WORST way to navigate a dvd. Seriously, Steve Jobs, IT SUCKS!).

Most of the drawings represent shows I love and watch repeatedly, but I'm just going to call out The Painted Veil as the worst bit of romantic drivel ever made. It is so incredibly bad that the Bronte sisters would have liked it.

Cupid Returns?

Cupid is my favorite cancelled TV show. I recorded it faithfully to VHS every week it was on the air. And I still break out the VCR to watch it now and again. But if you had asked me in the last decade would they ever bring it back, I would have had to say no. Like Farscape, Firefly, and Brisco County Junior, most shows seem to have that moment when everything comes together - actors, scripts, special effects, humor, current events - and it is impossible to repeat (cv. the Farscape Movie). And networks seem to be like bratty two-year-old children, holding onto the rights to shows which they capriciously cancelled in a pouty "If I couldn't make you successful, then no one else will either."

So color me shocked that it's been officially announced that YES, they are bringing back Cupid. With a new cast and a big rewrite. I dunno, I'm cautiously hopeful. The fact that it is on network television is a big thumbs down for me, but the new casting and writing might make it work (I love Jeremy Piven, but I just don't think he is "Trevor" anymore).

And even if it sucks, BuzzSugar has been kind enough to alert me to another fan who posted all the episodes to YouTube. So I can finally get rid of my VCR.
