From Variety Feb 5-11, 2007.

 

After a decent launch, the pressure’s on for the CW to begin carving out its identity.

With staples such as “Gilmore Girls” and “7th Heaven” anything but sure bets to return next fall, the newbie net needs to create shows that engender fierce loyalty from the net’s core 12-34 aud— and fill some potential holes.

One hopeful is “Reaper,” an hour about a bounty hunter who reclaims souls for Satan – an idea that seems like a good fit with “Supernatural” or even “Smallville.”

It’s easy to see the net giving the thumbs up to the sudsy Josh Schwartz-penned “Gossip Girl” as either a companion (or replacement) for “Gilmore.” And if “7th Heaven” goes away, family drama “Wild at Heart” seems a suitable feel-good replacement.

CW also has a rookie cop drama in the works, and was still expected to pick up a few more hours.

"Reaper" could be cool, am looking forward to checking that out, and pairing it with "Supernatural" seems like a good idea, however that depends on how "Reaper" will turn out.

Ummm, Reaper sounds like a remake of Brimstone! Brimstone was a pretty cool show - you should look and see if you can DL the eps.

Reaper sounds very good. It makes me think of Giles, though that was spelled Ripper. ;)

Hva var det den serien het om ham som kom tilbake fra helvete for å hente sjeler, en for hver synd han hadde begått eller noe sånn)... ? Husker ikke, jeg fikk bare sett noen få episoder, det gikk på tv her i for noen år tilbake.. Husker jeg yntes det var gøy, men det gikk så sent på kvelden.
Fikk meg bare til å tenke på det.
Har du sett den serien Dexter forresten? Den er jeg litt sugen på å se. Lurte på om jeg skulle laste ned noen episoder..

Reaper does look cool, I have to agree. As long as it doesn't take SPN spot, I'll be happy to watch it. Do we even know if the show has been renewed for a 3rd season yet?

You should check out Dexter, its really good!

Reaper sounds kind of like the Collector.

It might be an okay pair with SN....

No worries. Det var visst bare 13 episodar av Brimstone.
Er jo forviten på det no, så vil sjå om eg finn den ein plass og.

Dexter har eg sett, og skrevet ein del om her og. ;)
Knallbra serie!

I don't think it will take SPN's spot. If they do the right thing and make it creepy enough, maybe they can put it after SPN.
No shows have been renewed yet as far as I know, but I highly doubt SPN will be cut at this point.

I know. I've been ramling on about it in here for a while. ;)
Great show.

The collector? Was that another TV-show?
Looks like there'll ba a few things for me to check out. :D

I'm just really curious about what kind of tone they'll be going for.

Jeg vet... Synd det der med Brimstone, syntes den var litt ok..

Men Dexter skal jeg se. Når jeg leste om den så bare visste jeg at den var rett opp min gate.

It was about Giles' younger days as a rebel, I think? Then it was supposed to be made as a 2 hour movie for BBC then... nothing happened. *sigh*

Yeah, I remember the talk about it, it was supposed to be called 'Ripper', because that was his nickname when he was younger.
Think the project is dead now though..
