Reaper's Producers Preview a "Huge" Finale | TV Show Previews | 5/13/2008
It's been a trying season for the CW's Reaper (Tuesdays at 8pm/ET). But even after a crippling writers' strike and disappointing ratings, this supernatural tale of a boy and his Devil returned post-strike with its strongest episodes yet. Though the show just got picked up for a second season, two of the show's executive producers, Tara Butters and Tom Spezialy, got on the horn with us to gab about the show's mind-blowing May 20 season finale. Readers be warned: Some content may be considered spoiler-worthy. — Sandra Kofler TVGuide.com: I can't believe the season's almost over. How do you cap off all those storylines? Butters: Well, we have some really fun stuff in the last few episodes.Spezialy: And we have a huge finale. TVGuide.com: Oh?Spezialy: You know so far that there's a rebellion, that Sam has been reluctantly tied into it, that it's had a huge setback and that Sam's parents sold his soul out from under him. Well, that's all going to converge in the finale. We'll begin... read more
Has Reaper's Ray Wise Sold His Soul to the Devil? | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 3/20/2008
The Devil returned in pure-evil form last week when Reaper (Thursdays at 9pm/ET, CW) resumed after a too-long-for-us break. Tonight's episode is the second of this season's eight post-strike episodes, and things are just getting fired up. We'd sell our souls to get some Reaper scoop, and fortunately the show's Devil himself, actor Ray Wise, made us a deal we couldn't refuse. He chatted us up on his demon-catching minion's future, the legacy of Leland Palmer and Satan's burning? feelings. ... read more

First, I totally agree with you on Pushing Daisies. The show is an absolute delight, and I love all the little side excursions, like the backstory on the Civil War hero ancestor of the sword owner. While it's completely different, I am reminded a bit of Arrested Development, in that the show isn't afraid to take really wild chances while keeping everything in character and staying respectful of its premise. Now a question on Reaper: I'm enjoying the show, but if Sam continues to be such a ... read more
Ask Matt | 10/19/2007
Could Ray Wise be more perfectly cast on Reaper? I don't just mean well cast, or even brilliantly cast: He is perfect on that show. He's this season's Alec Baldwin. Also, I've been thinking about the people who complain about how sexist Mad Men is. Of course, the standard response is that the show's not sexist, it's merely a depiction of sexist times. But I have noticed something a lot more subtle, and a lot more telling, namely Don's choice of women. Don married the "ideal" woman: Barbie-doll . read more
Ask Matt | 10/15/2007
I had a chance to watch the pilots for both Moonlight and Reaper. I'm a big Supernatural fan, and these ghost/vampire genre shows, when done well, are a lot of fun. To me, one of these shows demonstrates how you do it well, and one demonstrates how you do it badly. Let's start with the good: I really enjoy Reaper. The stars are likable, the writing is fun, and it genuinely made me laugh. It obviously isn't taking itself too seriously, but the effects are still nice and flashy, and let's face ... read more
