Comments for: "Don’t Fear the Reaper" http://www.rhinocity.net/rhinocity/single/dont-fear-the-reaper/ I’ve got to hurry and post this before I read a review of this show with the same title of this post. Before I plagiarize it. Fall TV is ramping up quickly and has more than the usual complement of good shows (I usually count on maybe two a year.) CW’s entry into the ‘Best Show of the Season’ contest is a little fantasy entitled ’Reaper.’ The pilot episode is directed by Kevin Smith (warning, Kevin Smith’s blog is rather offensive) he of the Dogma, Clerks I & II and other assorted movies fame.  Who in the world is better qualified to make fun of the Devil and Hell than Kevin Smith? Nobody! This show is very, very funny. Snort beverages out your nostrils type funny. Sam is a 20 year old slacker. A community college drop-out who excels at exactly nothing. He and his best friend Bert “Sock” Wysocki work (as it were) at the local Work Bench, a Home Depot type hardware store where Sam and Bert are pretty much the worst employees. Sam has a crush on his extra cute co-worker Andi, though he can’t quite ask her out even though she’s obviously interested.

Chuck is good and has done a good job maintaining its energy so far. Bionic Woman… talk about your fading shows… pilot was pretty good, but it’s tanked fast. I MAY give it another couple of episodes… or not. Pushing Daisies is the best new show period. In years (since Lost.) I should watch Moonlight… seem to remember another vampire in the city show… Angel, maybe? I agree on it falling a bit after the pilot, but it is still one of the better shows on TV.
