[Mr. Worf]

They announced officially today that they canceled Reaper. :(

Medium is moving to CBS. Its more their speed. Slightly slow and dull but
supernatural.

Keith, I could've sworn that I'd read something to the opposite of that, but I 
can't find any such in any of my groups. Maybe I was hallucinating. Old folks 
do that a lot, you know. ;-D

I enjoy it too. It's a fun lighthearted series, not a must-see, but one of 
those I like to have around whenever the mood strikes me to watch. Of course, 
that doesn't work nowadays, and I hear it's been canceled...

I love the premise and bemoan the execution. Loved the first episode. The rest

I like the show because it was completely different than anything else that
has been on tv. I think that they could have punched up the comedy a little
more though. It is a little too flat at times. I noticed last night that it
was produced by ABC studios now. That is another thing that is a problem
with the show. They have switched production companies three times now. Good
shows seem to fall to the wayside for the "surefire" winners.

Maybe I should do a list of good tv shows without a home? :)

Did anyone watch Pushing Daisies? Great writing and cinematography! Light
comedy / mystery with a supernatural bent to it.

I like Reaper but the premise is wearing a bit thin. I did like the additional 
characters they brought in this year like Morgan and Nina. If they get another 
season they need to shake the show up a bit more.

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: "Reaper"

[KeithBJohnson]

The one about the young rock band that finds an amulet that lets them 
communicate with the spirits of the dead. The blonde haired funny dude in 
"Reaper" (who also played in "Invasion" as the conspiracy theory nut) was the 
star. It was funny too. 
I think I like "G vs E" better than "reaper". I mean Deacon Jones as an 
instructor in killing Moorlocks. the whole "no carnal relations" rule? But both 
are excellent.

>From the wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Last
Dead Last is an American drama/fantasy/humour television series, produced by 
Warner Bros. in 2001. It starred Tyler Labine as Scotty Sailback, Kett Turton 
as Vaughan Parrish, and Sara Downing as Jane Cahill. The series ran for one 
season, with 13 episodes produced but only 8 aired.
The general plot was of the three members of a fictional band called The 
Problem, who find a magical amulet which allows them to see and talk to ghosts. 
Each episode featured the trio helping the ghosts that they encountered, in 
order for the ghosts to move on to the next world.

I see the similarities, but in some ways I like it better.  Don't know 
why... probably because I'm still chuckling to myself hours later.  I 
don't remember Dead Last.  What was it about?

knew you'd like it. Feel the similarities in tone to "G vs. E"?

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: "Reaper"

[Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L. Minor)]

I just saw it.  It was great.  So, far, I think it is the best new show 
this fall.  Love the writing and cast.  I'm glad the girl who played 
original Cindy in Dark Angel (Valerie Rae Miller) has got a potentially 
good role that is also not a redo of her role in Dark Angel.

I saw it and feel the same way you do. It was a surprisingly good
show. The cast is hitting on all cylinders and Ray Wise is a great
Satan. Funny and scary at the same time. The final scene with him
following the woman in the store was uncomfortably tense but amusing
at the same time.

tongue-in-cheek silly action, with everyone having fun hamming it up,
especially Ray Wise as the sharply dressed Satan. He had me howling
with laugher when he said "Pretty much any place you think is Hell on
Earth--is". When he told the star (Sam) that the DMV was a Hell locus
on Earth i lost it! The demons Sam has to chase are menacing in a fun
way, and the clueless slackers and their dullard bosses and parents
are classic Kevin Smith types (Smith helped create the show and
directed the pilot). It's just a fun ride that makes me laugh, very
much like "Eureka". I mean, a magical Dirt Devil used to suck up
escaped damned souls?

Coincidentally, that quirky show also starred Tyler Labine (also of
"Invasion"), who plays Sam's best bud in "Reaper". He's a really good
comic actor.

Same sense of humor intermixed with some dark moments, same
dangerous/funny monsters, same cast of suitably clueless characters.
Indeed, the more I watched it the more I kept saying "This is 'G vs E'
with a younger cast". I miss that show.

Airs Tuesdays at 9 pm, opposite "Eureka". I watched "Reaper" and recorded 
"Eureka". good thing is, "Eureka" is rebroadcast around midnight on SciFi. 
"Reaper" was rebroadcast tonight, but not sure if that'll be a regular thing.
