I've also been storing up the latest round of new episodes, planning to marathon them after the season finale. I'm sure I'll watch them over the summer, but now there's certainly no reason to hurry. At any rate, now everything I watch on Tuesday nights is cancelled. Maybe I should finally check out that House show I keep hearing so much about.
In other news... Reaper sounds an awful lot like a short-lived show I used to watch starring Peter Horton, with Jon Glover as Satan. If I'm going to be pointing out rip-offs, though, then I suppose I have to also mention CBS's Moonlight:
Moonlight (Fridays, 8 p.m.) is a drama about an "undead" private investigator (Alex O'Loughlin) who uses his vampire senses to help humans instead of feed on them. Of course, he also has to deal with the "bad" vampires — including the wife (Amber Valletta) who turned him into one of the undead — and a human reporter he's in love with.
Yes, well. Like they say, there are no new ideas under the sun, and what matters is the execution. Knowing CBS, execution will probably come about three or four episodes in. Badump-bump! Seriously, tho', quality-wise I expect something that really wants to be Angel managing to fall short but at least turn out better than Forever Knight. And I'll betcha this one won't have any puppets.

I enjoy the show House quite a bit! Funny and different from the procedural dramas out there. Also, Hugh Laurie-what's not to love?
But for that, Tuesdays do suck.

You know Forever Knight? That's... very surprising. And don't be knocking on Nick Knight - it's not bad, considering it was the early 90's and Canadian!
Nicole - I do love Hugh Laurie. The only reason I haven't watched that show is because my Tuesdays were full enough already. Now I have no excuse.
g - Don't get me wrong, I LOVED Forever Knight. I should have added that I was speaking as a fan. I can't say I was entirely thrilled with the last season, though, or with the way the show ended. That was just mean.
People (Angel fans) are getting really pissed off about this new Moonlight show, and it's been fun watching the FK fans coming out to remind them that Nick Knight was there first. I loved Nick Knight, and I still loves me some Angel, but I think there will always be room for one more angsty vampire detective on the block.
