I can't believe this week's episode of Reaper was our last for a while! I'm not sure what I'll do without my weekly fix of the adorable Sam, sweet dimply Ben, and sarcastic Sock. Most of all, of course, I'll miss the overly tan wisecracking Devil. This show's like candy. Like Red Hots. I'll miss you, Reaper! For now, some of my favorite things from this week's episode, in which the boys had some Read more

Okay, on this week's episode of Reaper, I found the escaped soul's tactics for revenge to be truly gross. All those cremated remains flying around gave me a bit of a sick feeling in the tummy. However, I love that the Devil had a romantic interest and I super-love that Sam now has a romantic interest that isn't Andi. She needs to figure out her stuff before messing with Sam's heart. My favorite Read more

This week's episode of Reaper provides us with an inside look at the life of the demon Gladys, who works at the DMV, a.k.a. the portal to hell. As Ben points out, all demons were once angels, and by the end of this week's episode, Sock has a newfound softness for the hell worker. In other news, the Devil's fancy gift to Sam turns out to have another purpose as Sam hunts down an escaped soul who Read more

Just when I think Reaper is getting a little too ridiculously formulaic (get the vessel, hunt down escaped souls, Sam/Andi drama, funny quips from Sock and the Devil), there are little touches that surprise and delight me all over again. I think Andi's "Ted-Free Zone" is the coolest thing I've seen in a while, for example. And the introduction of both Russ the sketchy coworker and Taylor the Read more

This week's episode of Reaper was as sweet and fun as free Halloween candy. I just love this show! And it is, of course, most appropriate the week of Halloween. I love that the Devil hates Halloween because it's the one day of the year when nobody fears him. "I become a party gag. A plastic mask!" So, he lets Hell take a holiday on Halloween. This show is so clever. I love it. This week's Read more

As it gets closer and closer to Halloween, I find Reaper to be more and more satisfying — especially when it features blob people, like this week's episode does! I do wish there had been more Ray Wise wisecracks this week, and I'm starting to grow weary of the Sam-Andi drama, but there were definitely some moments that made me laugh out loud, as always: Sam suggests the demon come out to Read more

On this week's Reaper, I got a huge kick out of Ben's deep affection for the vessel, a bird he names Winston. I'm glad that guy's getting more screen time — he's funny and those dimples just get me. This week the Devil got more great lines than usual, too, and that might be my favorite thing about the show. Could have done without the whole Sam-needing-the-contract thing, which just seems like Read more

Truth be told, I probably should have tried to find someone else to cover "Reaper" this week. Looking at squirmy bugs — especially ones wriggling around on Sam's toothbrush — makes me extremely queasy. Thankfully, there was enough other good stuff this week to keep me watching, and it was definitely an improvement over last week's episode. I love that there is this new guy in Andi's life, Read more

This week's "Reaper" suffered from the same affliction that plagued this week's episode of "Chuck": a disappointing second episode after a really great pilot. It wasn't totally awful — Sock provided his hilarious one-liners like a champ, for example — but the parts with Sam and his family seriously dragged. I'd like much more Ray Wise making devilish quips and less family drama, please. I'm Read more

"I'm not a carjacker, Sam. I'm the devil!" I could watch that "Reaper" clip of Ray Wise good-naturedly reassuring the character of Sam that no, no, he's not out to jack his car (though he would "if it were an Escalade!"). He's just the devil incarnate! Having already watched the pilot a few times, that scene never fails to make me chuckle. Then again, most of this show makes me chuckle. Whether Read more
