I'm not happy to see any of my favorite shows end for the season, but tonight's Reaper finale is particularly poignant, as the show was not picked up by the CW for another season and several of the show's people have already signed on for new things (including Tyler Labine and the show's creators Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters). All is not totally lost, though, as there's talk of possibly continuing the show on ABC. Anyway, I have absolutely loved this season — perhaps even more than the first — as we've gotten to know Sam's half-brother Morgan (the ever-dashing/sleazy Armie Hammer) and Ben's demon girlfriend Nina (Jenny Wade).

Basically I just want an excuse to post the funny promo for tonight's episode of Reaper because it makes me laugh every darn time I watch it. Though it's a little silly at times, the writing on this show consistently cracks me up. Like in last week's episode when we learned Sock's (Tyler Labine) "signature" pick-up line: "Excuse me, I think you're standing on my penis."

The latest round of pilot season casting news includes a Saturday Night Live alum, a funny sidekick, and a recent Oscar nominee. Read on:
- If Reaper doesn't get renewed, Tyler Labine may be headed to Fox. The sidekick known as Sock has been cast in the comedy pilot Sons of Tucson, playing a man who's hired by three boys to pretend to be their dad while their actual father serves a prison term.
- SNL's Chris Parnell is in talks for Big D, a Dallas-set show about a Southern belle welcoming home her son and meddling in his life.

It feels like it's been an eternity in hell since we last got to hang out with the Devil, Sam, Sock, Andi and Ben. Have you missed them as much as I have?
Last we heard on Reaper, Tony tried to trap Sam — only to bury alive Sam's dad instead.

Among the awesome things about TV this Winter is the return of Reaper, the quirky CW buddy comedy about a boy and the devil who rules him. Yup, I love this silly show, and finally, today brings a quick glimpse of the second season.
It's just a little teaser, but I'm at the point where any glimpse of Sock making gross bodily noises or Sam attempting to take out some demon with a frying pan is good enough for me.

Well, the silver lining around this season finale cloud is that Reaper is definitely getting another season on the CW! This is excellent news, and maybe the summer will provide folks with some time to catch up on the first season of this bizarrely funny, fantastical show.
It feels like just yesterday I was super skeptical about the premise of this show (a bounty hunter for the devil?

One night after Gossip Girl steamed up our TV sets, a very different CW show also returns to the air. Reaper is back — and if trying to figure out when the show was airing has seemed like time slot roulette for the past couple of months, then the best news is that it's right home where it started: Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
The show still has five new episodes left, and tonight's sounds like a good one.

My love for this show knows no bounds. I am so totally excited that it's back on TV again tonight, but in case you didn't get into Reaper when it started last fall or if you've forgotten what's going on, allow me to fill you in:
- The show revolves around Sam (Bret Harrison), a bounty hunter for the Devil (the absurdly funny Ray Wise). He spends his time working at the Work Bench and capturing souls that have escaped from hell.

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.

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.
