The Best Show You're Not Watching

Ok-- maybe it's not the best show on tv. Or even in the top-ten. But "Reaper" is a cute little show. It reminds me of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," but without all the whiny teenage I'm-in-love-with-a-vampire angst. And you've probably never seen it because it's on the CW network.

"Yikes," you say. "Isn't that the same network that shows 'The Search for the Next Pussycat Doll' and 'Beauty and the Geek?'"

Yeah... it is. But despite that, this show is pretty good. I've meant to post about it every Tuesday for the last month, but I always forget until it's too late. So, tonight, if you're looking for something to do at 9pm (eastern), check it out.

If nothing else, you'll probably enjoy Ray Wise, who plays the devil. He's kind of a George Hamilton-meets-Dean Stockwell type. You'll recognize him the second you see him... though if you're like me, you won't remember anything you've seen him in. (He was in "Good Night and Good Luck", and played the VP on a season of "24").

And if you don't like the show, don't worry. In a few weeks, because of the writers' strike, the only new things on TV will be news magazines, game shows, and 'reality' programming. Then you'll have to (gasp!) read for amusement.
