"Reaper"

I'm a bit late on this one...but did you notice that "Reaper" is back on the air?

"Reaper", one of The CWs few sci-fi/fantasy shows, was originally set to return on March 17th - but that return date was moved up to last Tuesday. So, yeah, we missed Sam's adventures with the Devil for a week.

But, never fear! Episodes are available online at The CW website, so it should be a snap to catch up.

I've always been a closet fan of "Reaper". Bret Harrison ("Sam") is very likeable and the Devil is played flawlessly by Ray Wise. Although the series did lose some steam in the middle of its initial run, the last few episodes (in which Sam really starts to try to find out about his contract with the Devil) really energized the series. It's light, funny and entertaining (especially Sock - everybody loves Sock!). Sure, it's not "Supernatural" or "Lost" caliber, but it is well worth the spot on the TiVo.

"Reaper" airs at 8:00 PM EST and all 13 episodes will run consecutively through the season finale on May 26.
