Veronica Mars Producers Reunite for Cupid

This one goes out to all you superfans out there: Diane Ruggiero, the former Veronica Mars producer who left her post running CBS' The Ex List about a week ago, has taken a job on Rob Thomas' remake of Cupid, the ABC series about a mental patient who believes he's the Roman god of love (now starring Bobby Cannavale and Sarah Paulson).

"She starts today for me," Rob tells me this morning of Ruggiero. "I couldn't be happier."

That makes, oh, let's see, all of us, because as you may remember, Ruggiero is the reason we so highly recommended Ex List initially—she is a funny and fierce creative force to be reckoned with, and under her direction, that show was deeply entertaining and likeable. She quit The Ex List after too much creative meddling from CBS and vowed to never work there again.

Ruggiero worked with Thomas on Veronica Mars as co-executive producer and helped voice the character we all loved so much.

So bottom line: After all the underwhelming previews of new series this fall (Ex List pilot being one exception), midseason is starting to look up.

ABC Picks Up Castle and Cupid

Yay! Nathan Fillion is heading back to series television! I've just received confirmation that ABC has picked up Nathan's pilot, Castle.

Written by Andrew Marlowe (the guy behind a little movie called Air Force One), Castle is the story of a mystery writer who advises the New York City police on particularly difficult cases. (Sort of like how after 9/11 the feds asked screenwriters to come up with the craziest terrorist scenarios they could think of, in hopes of being better equipped to deal with the possibilities.)

To make the news even better, I've also just confirmed that the Cupid do-over (from original creator and Veronica Mars mastermind Rob Thomas) has been picked up to series as well.

More Captain Mal Reynolds and more Rob Thomas? Today is a very good day for TV!
