Reaper is a new show on the CW. It’s new because I just found out about it. It has the demon theme similar to the show Buffy, but I just hate Buffy. Why do I like this show? Whereas Buffy was like the worst? Rey Wise plays the Devil. I recognized him at once from the killer father role on Twin Peaks. It’s much better then Buffy, but it’s still a little bit of a show for teenyboppers. I hope this show does not end up cancelled like Hidden Palms. That one that promoted a lot so I started watching it from the beginning. Hidden Palms had so much bad music. Constantly at any moment a song would break in. Reaper only had one bad song at the end, which is more then I can hope for these days. House used to have that problem, rather than have dialogue, they would throw in a 90’s song, and they expect the mindless audience to sit there, thinking oh, that’s my song, how profound. But, Reaper is free of these musical interruptions. I think the problem is they put 20’s somethings in charge of making the programs for the new target audience. Raised on 90’s music, which is not actually even music, they feel the need, to break into a 90’s ballad every five minutes. I never would have seen this show, but TiVo made a suggestion. I have only seen one episode, that means I have a lot of shows to catch up on.   You feel like you are almost back watching Twin Peaks again for a minute when Wise takes the screen. It might be our duty to support this show.
