...Only a day into the upfronts, but, together with the whispers about the other networks' upcoming schedules, we're already starting to see trends. More nostalgia. More "family," however loosely defined. More stars of failed shows getting second, third, or fourth chances: today alone, Paula Marshall of "Snoops" and "Cupid"; Farina of "Buddy Faro"; Gedrick of "EZ Streets," Falcone" and "The Beast"; Mark Feuerstein of "Conrad Bloom." But perhaps the most disturbing trend of all, should it hold up throughout the week: at the NBC after-party, the little chicken kebabs were conspicuously absent...
...aversion to Cupid and his arbitrary holiday is rooted in the expectation that I participate in a nationwide romance-pageant, where my genetic desirability—or lack thereof—is shamelessly pitted against that of my fellow man when I have no say in the matter. I’m a sucker for romance, but no one asked if this particular Thursday works for me. No one cared that I lose my appetite when hundreds of couples giggle and coo on all sides and when the sexual tension at the neighboring table is enough to make me sweat...

Leaving consulting job offers and generous grants and fellowships behind them, they set forth to the corner of Massachusetts and Meacham Aves to consummate their cyberspace vision. That vision was known as Pimpin’ Cupid. It was a simple yet profound concept: an online dating service that pairs up potential soul mates via e-mail. Sam A. Yagan ’99 muses “It was a fun idea, we were all friends, and we thought...
Pimpin’ Cupid expanded to a one-stop portal student homepage— thespark.com. The website, however, almost immediately became dominated by the introduction of the famed online study guides, Sparknotes. Even Pimpin’ Cupid was overshadowed by the monolith that was Sparknotes. The phenomenal success of the study guides manifested itself recently in the acquisition of them by corporate giant Barnes and Noble. And the original Pimpin’ Cupid, Sam Yagan, now finds himself ensconced in a plush, New York high-rise, orchestrating this multi-million dollar dot.com venture. Meanwhile, over 200 Harvard students and graduates...
