England's Morcheeba are among the many bands these days that have managed to incorporate the use of samplers and many other electronic gadgets with a charismatic female lead singer to create its music.

Against my better judgment of the ludicrous premise that is at the heart of "Cupid," I was smitten as if the diapered god himself had shot me through the heart.
"Cupid"'s plot is this: Cupid, a.k.a. Trevor Hale, has been exiled from Mt. Olympus for bad behavior. In order to return home, he must unite no fewer than 100 couples in true love.

Now that you erased "Family Matters," "Step-By-Step" and Sasha Mitchell (star of "Kickboxer" II through IV) from your memory, may you be forewarned. ABC reminds us again to give thanks for Fridays with their new cutesy family sitcom "Full House 2," .Olsen twins are double lame fun
