With just one episode to go for the season (though not the series...HUZZAH!), Reaper finally asked the question the majority of us have been asking since the beginning: What does Ben look like with his shirt off? Continue reading »

Tonight's episode of Reaper, "Greg, Schmeg," answers that age old question: what would happen if you gave the Sandra Bullock movie Love Potion #9 a supernatural twist? Continue reading »

Now what I'm going to say might sound at first like a negative, but trust me, it's a positive: I wish there wasn't another episode of Reaper this season. Continue reading »

You know, I think it's from watching too much Lost, but I sorta kinda expected the whole "overthrow the devil" plot to last more than one episode. Oh sure, the major architect of the plot still lives, but the immediate threat to the Devil has already subsided. Continue reading »

The number 13 is often considered unlucky. But I felt lucky to have watched this, the 13th overall episode of Reaper. For all intents and purposes, the show actually started tonight, in the final five minutes, with something I've craved all along: an actual overarching plot. If everything before was setup, everything after will be payoff.

I had one thought running through my mind all night. A thought that haunted every scene, every moment, every character interaction. A thought the rendered nearly everything else in this week's episode of Reaper null and void: "They got that place for $1200??? Sign me UP!" Continue reading »

Last time on Reaper...um, er, uh, OK, I'll admit it, I had to go and look it up. It's been roughly fifteen years since the last original episode of this little gem of a show aired, and honestly, I had to do some research in order to take over the weekly recaps here. Continue reading »

Tuesday (Dec. 4) night's Reaper made me feel sad about all of the episodes we wasted on Sam-n-Andi. All hail Sam-n-Beelzebabe. Continue reading »

After a week off for Thanksgiving, Reaper returned with a fairly strong episode that only partially focused on an escaped soul. As a bonus, we also learned more about the private lives of Ben and the Devil. Continue reading »

It was a curious episode of Reaper this week because the devil actively interfered with Sam's bounty hunting, and Sock had his own storyline that delved more into the weird mythology of the Reaper-verse world thanks to Gladys, the DMV demon. Continue reading »

It's back to business on Reaper after a fun Halloween. But don't worry. This episode also has twice the demon fun too. Continue reading »

When does Hell go on a holiday? Well, in the Reaper-verse, it's Halloween. Continue reading »

Reaper takes a page from Ghostbusters and Nickelodeon this week and busts out the slime. Oddly enough, that's not the grossest part of the show. Continue reading »

So what did we learn from Satan on Tuesday (Oct. 16) night's episode of Reaper? Never to trust carnie magicians, always keep your important Devilish contracts in a climate controlled location and sarcasm is the lowest form of social discourse. See you in Hell, kids! Continue reading »

Okay, I admit that I was really hungry while I was watching Reaper, and the creepy bugs couldn't even put me off my feed. So, forgive me if I'm a bit distracted. Continue reading »

If you're like me, dear readers, you've noticed a shift in the tone in prime-time television this year. It's not that über-serious drama has left the airwaves entirely, but a new breed of breezy, fun-minded shows have dominated the freshman class of shows. Reaper just might be the most pure fun of them all: it doesn't want to change the world, it simply wants to entertain your socks right off.

After watching the CW's Reaper premiere, I tried to, but couldn't quite recall what I got for my 21st birthday -- but I'm fairly certain it wasn't a job moonlighting as the devil's bounty hunter or eternal damnation. Continue reading »
