On Schedule Tonight

If my words are your words, can you hear my father? – John from Cinncinati

Since y’all admit to not watching ‘my shows’, I’m gonna give you notice in advance. Please study well, there will be a test. On tap for tonight, time willing:

  • Beauty and the Geek – The CW 7PM
  • House – Fox 8PM
  • Reaper – TheCW 8PM

You’ll need to have a dual tuner or two DVRs to keep up on your homework. Late work will be accepted if you need to access alternative viewing means.

image I watched the Pilot for Reaper Saturday night, and I was impressed. The premise is a slacker guy Sam (Bret Harrison)works at The Work Bench (a spoof on The Home Depot) finds out his soul has been sold to the Devil. Upon turning 21, the Devil (played wonderfully by Ray Wise) lets Sam in on the secret, and because of the over-crowding problem in hell, wants Sam to help him track down and send back the damned that have escaped hell.

Though nothing like Dead Like Me, the dark reaper comedy works well, though the reaping reminds me of Danny Phantom. Not entirely a willing servant, Sam decides to do the devil’s bidding to keep the devil from taking his Mom. Sam’s group of friends are funny, Sock (Tyler Rabine) is his irreverent best friend, and he has a crush on Andi (Missy Peregrym – was shapeshifting hero last season)

Each week’s plot will be the tracking and capturing the escaped damned, and depositing them in a portal (which ca be identified as any place like ‘hell-on-earth’, like the DMV). Also Delores from DLM makes a great cameo, on the other side of the reaping fence.

I’m watching it, you should too.

    Try to do these as they happen, so I don’t get too behind. If I have more drivel to type, I’ll put it below the fold. Slow night last night, watched half of Big Shots, then all of Grey’s need to catch up tonight on the others, and I’ll update the post later.

    • Grey’s Anatomy: Grey sisters exchange furtive flances* glances flances**
    • Big Shots: Four Guys admit they’re wimmin***
    • Survivor: Amanda’s fun bags get blurred
      • Alt: Ashley’s fun bags are out!
    • The Office:  Michael is a little stitious

    *- typo. Egad, I have no idea what a flance is, and I’m not sure ABC can show a flance without causing the censors to have heart-attacks.

    ** – it seems I’m more ‘down wit it’ than I had first thought, after googling flance, and reading the defizzle, the word is apropos. (I may have to go wash up now…)

    *** – oh and before you ask, yes it is a word, and it too is apropos. :p
