ABC reduces 'Cupid' order

ABC has reduced the episode order for Rob Thomas' midseason drama "Cupid."

The network is now asking for a total of nine episodes, including a pilot, instead of the usual 13. This comes following episode reductions for ABC's other upcoming dramas, "Castle" and "The Unusuals," down to 10 each (also including the pilots).

The reductions help explain ABC's relatively late premiere dates for the shows, which were announced yesterday.
