Throughout Sam's life, he always wondered why his mom and dad were so easy on him. Whether it was sports, school, career choices, or picking on his little brother Kyle, Sam always got away with everything. Because of it, he decided to drop out of college and take a dead beat job, wasting most of his time playing video games and wishing he could ask his co-worker Andi out. However, everything changes in Sam's life once he turns 21 and finds out the reason his parents let him get over was because they sold his soul to the devil before he was born.

Satan explains to Sam that he must serve as his bounty hunter, tracking down souls that have escaped from Hell. Initially, Sam refuses to accept his fate but he realizes the grave consequences of breaking a deal with the devil. He is armed with various vessels to collect the escapees. Sam finds that the work is dangerous and frightening even with the goof ball help of his friends and fellow slackers Sock and Ben, and Sock's former girlfriend, Josie. As bizarre as his life becomes, Sam feels good about his newfound "missions", removing evil souls from the world and sending them back to where they belong. Along with his friends and his vessel of the week, Sam prepares to face his destiny as the "reaper".

The series is produced by ABC Television Studio in association with The Mark Gordon Company. less

• Reaper movie

  Since the show's not getting renewed, there should be a movie to have a closure to the series. There are rlly small possibilities of happening, its just something that I thought of, but I think it should be done. The show shouldnt be left the way it did.

• If you were in control of Season 3....

  If you could make a third season for Reaper, as a final season to wrap up the storylines, how would you do it? Me, I would have God introduced and have him give Sam a vessel of his own with which to capture the devl and free his and Andi's soul

  We have to do something to get our favorite season back!! hide show

  Well cbs canceld the season but we have a other chance to get reaper back! Look at scrubs nbc made only 6 season but since than abc made the rest and now we get a 9. season of scrubs, so i don´t think that there is a problem to get reaper back.
  
  Look at the show chuck in this case only the Fans saved it and we have to do this too with reaper.
  
  So guys send e-mail´s letter´s or something els to abc or still to cbs and make them clear that we want our favorite show back and we have to do it fast very fast.
  
  With the words from Stev "How's with me" ???

  why cbs still canceling great shows?? hide show

  i can't believe that cbs still doing this... after canceling "Jericho" cause of the high budget (according cbs + LOOOOOOL) they cancel reaper.. i am watching the show form the first episode and like all of us waiting about 9 months for the second season.. i feel like an idiot and loosing my trust at this network (cbs).. also i am waiting to cancel and other smart and funny shows like big bang theory and how i net your mother :D , and start watching shows that are realy smart and funny... like survivor-big brother and 90210.. (i am a little bit angry so i apologise... :D ) i hope that was the last show canceled with no reason... ! ! !

  Quite different and quirky at its debut, Reaper went on to become a modest hit with a devoted following. Alas, the devil's in the details and it's off the air. hide show

  The whole premise of "Reaper" made us suspend disbelief for an hour and just enjoy the actors and the rapid-fire dialogue. Ray Wise as the Devil was the absolute scene-stealer, but the younger cast members were pretty clever as well.
  
  I believe Season One was better than Season Two, due to the interruption by The Writers' Strike that went on and on for weeks and screwed up everyone's TV watching pleasure. I believe "Reaper" was a casualty of The Strike, since a lot of its audience had to find it again once production started, then it somehow didn't feel as fresh and cutting-edge as before. Even at its worst, "Reaper" was still a scream.
  
  Why the network pulled the plug is still a mystery to me. I believe "Reaper" was a direct casualty of The Strike, and got yanked before it could make its real mark.

  How could they can such a worthy show! hide show

  Although reaper was as popular with viewers as the commercially successful prison break or heroes, it had a niche audience that loved and cherished the show, like me! Reaper was distinctly different from anything else on TV at the time.. The concept was new, original and incorporated some good ideas about demons into the show. A network doesn't usually bring a show back from the dead but in this case I'm hoping they make an exception and air at least a short finale season even with 4 episodes.. I just would like to know how it would all end. If not, Goodbye reaper.. It was nice watching you..

  Yet another great show axed before it's time. It was a really great show. The plot was original and intriguing and the characters were quirky and really hilarious, what more do you need in a tv show? hide show

  Yet another great show axed before it's time. It was a really great show. The plot was original and intriguing and the characters were quirky and really hilarious, what more do you need in a tv show? I'm really sad to see it go and extremely dissapointed that so many storylines were left without an proper ending for instance. Who is Sam's Dad really? Why was Steve ordered to break Sam's hand to prevent him from beating the devil and what will happen to Andy now? I just hope the show gets syndicated so that those questions will eventaially get answered.
