Reaper has A LOT of geek cred: Kevin Smith is a consulting producer. The show is like a guy version of Buffy crossed with Ghostbusters. (In fact, Anthony Stewart Head auditioned for the role of the Devil.) Joss Whedon keeps getting praise (deserved or not) for coming up with cool, strong female characters. But I feel the creators of Reaper, Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas, should also be getting similar acclaim for being two women who created a cool series that nails down the psyche and attitude of young 20something males today. If you yourself don't watch this show, or care to begin, then at least give fans a Talkback for the remaining episodes. Thanks.

but Reaper (Chuck's closest comparator in the guy-who-works-in-giant-Mart-st ore-has-secret-double-life-wit h-special-powers genre) is better written and funnier.

also, Missy Pereygyymyym is hotter.

Go Reaper!

I may have seen the first episode of Cashmere Mafia, or it may have been the other one (I was the one with Kim Raver). Anyway, it was dreadful. Felt the same way after struggling through the first few episodes of October Road. Neither show is any great loss as far as I am concerned. Maybe now Kim Raver & Laura Prepon can find something good to do.

Watched only the first episode of Moonlight and while I saw some promise in it, it just didn't have enough to make me want to see more. But I know it has some die-hard fans, so good for them their show will probably be back.

I watched the first season of Shark, mainly for James Woods, but that was enough for me. When season 2 started I had no desire to se another episode. Maybe James Woods can join Kim Raver & Laura Prepon on their new show?

I've watched Boston Legal since the beginning but an tiring of it. Am on the fence as to whether or not I will tune in again next season.

I really do hope Reaper is back next year. It has grown on me, as did Eli Stone which I found to be the second-most surprising show of the year (most surprising being Journeyman). I had low expectations based on the ad campaign but found it to be a refreshingly original and entertaining show.

And for those who don't know, "Men In Trees" was the Anne Heche vehicle about a self-help romance guru who moves to a small Alaskan town after breaking up with her fiance. For what it was, it wasn't bad, actually, and the ensemble (including Abe Benrubi, Lauren Tom and Cynthia Stevenson) was better than the show.

And Big Jim, the one you're thinking of is "Lipstick Jungle," which whatever your feelings for the "Sex & The City" genre, was actually much better than "Cashmere Mafia" and grew into a nice, easy-going and surprisingly mature show.

And yes, I watch guy shows, too.

I really liked what I saw of Reaper, before the strike, but saw the potential to love it. I'm gonna have to go catch up.

I too think Miss Guided was a great show. Funniest 1/2 hour sitcom of the year (if you can call it a sitcom). I've always enjoyed Judy Greer, I think she is hilarious. I often find some of the best jokes are the throwaway ones. For example, when doing one of the asides, in the background was a banner for a sports team (I think it was football). It had "District Champion - 1968" and that's all. This big banner and there was only one date 40 years ago.

Sorry for jumping the gun about female-type shows. It's just very hard to find someone on this site who seems to be able to put their false masculinity away and actually enjoy something with a little more estrogen. It takes all kinds, and that includes the world of television.

Glad October Road died, that show needed to go. Reaper I'll have to catch up on now that it looks like it will be back in the fall.-----later-----m

And as others here have pointed out, Reaper definitely has the potential and epic storytelling arcs to become the next Buffy or Angel. It is also the ONLY scripted drama on The CW which is skewed more towards the geek male demographic. (Supernatural skews more toward females.) It is an absolute injustice that Reaper has been on the bubble -- when, in fact, its average ratings per episode have been HIGHER than that of Gossip Girl. But because The CW is trying to lock onto a young female demo, they've been neglecting Reaper.

There's your Wednesday night, ABC. Send me a programming check.

But no, it's a silly show, so to compare it to "Jericho" wouldn't be very prudent.
