I know it's a nothing network, but hell, I thought for certain that show was done in 1/2 a season, if that. Now, after how many years , I see it's still on the tube?

It just don't make no sense.

Maybe they made a deal with the devil?

I still like Reaper. Not the best show on TV, but one of the best shows on that network (Supernatural being the other one).

And how could you say no to a preacher's daughter like Missy Peregrym?

Shooting stars around your heart,
Dreams come bouncing in your head
pure and simple every time.
Now you're crying in your sleep;
I wish you'd never learnt to weep.
Don't sell the dreams you should be keeping
pure and simple every time.

It's only in its second season. It barely got that. They only put it back on because another show was canceled. There are problems with the show. For instance, they have no idea how to fit Andi into the show. She's a mess. They've screwed up the Devil/Sam dynamic. Considering what else is on, I'll keep watching it: Dancing with the Stars? American Idol? No thank you. Boston Legal* and NCIS** are entertaining but in perpetual renruns it seems.

So, Reaper it is.

*I have a lifelong crush on Spader. I can't explain it. It is what it is.
**I also have a little crush on Agent McGee, Sean Murray, because he's a lovable smart nerdy dork and I can't resist those.

Hmmm...sounds like you have a soft spot for intelligent, professional men with "just a hint o'" baby fat...

Tell ya what - let me give you my home number...

But seriously, I've day-dreamed in recent years about becoming a professional Alan Shore impersonator. I can see the myriad possibilities of such a career almost literally falling out of the trees and unfolding before me.

Indeed.

W W A S D ?
What would Alan Shore do?

It's only had 24 episodes so far, so it can't seem like it has been on that long can it? There were 18 in the strike shortened season last year, and only 6 out of 13 so far this year.

There are much worse shows that have gone on much too long - Heroes anyone?

I couldn't possibly watch this show (even though I tried) knowing there was a show called Brimstone on everyone's favorite network that lasted only 13 episodes.

And this year, they've added Eriko Tamura to the cast...

Honestly, what's NOT to like about this show?

Also, Ray Wise really does seem to enjoy himself way too much as the Devil; he's clearly having far too much run with the role, and if you're going to play a villain, what better villain to play than the Ol' Scratch?

True, Brimstone was good, but it was Foxized. I kinda like the light, candy-coated version of Reaper. Glover was great and Wise is a delight. Both are good in their ways.
