Show Summary

  • Ended
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.moreless

    this show was okay at first but i got sick and tired of it pretty quickly. I got sick of the whole "I like her but i don't know if she likes me thing" is this reaper or a episode of friends? anyways i also got sick of the demon of the week formula. I didn't care who the demon was. Sam was going to mess up, whine to the devil and then in the last ten minutes capture the demon. Sam was also going to whine about how the girl of his dreams may or may not like him for a half in hour.moreless

    I think Reaper was an amazing show and should be put back on the air. I never had much time to watch TV when the show was actually airing, but, I have recently watched every episode that did air, Season 1-2. It was an exciting story line and mix between reality and fiction, and the good vs. evil. The story is an interesting perspective into the biblical views and the questions regarding the same so many people have. It had the "Buffy" quality but also had comedy and fun. This was one of the CW's best shows, and it seems as though they cancel a lot of their best shows. The CW made a big mistake in cancelling this show and I hope that at some point the shows story will continue whether with a new network or not. But, I hope that it is not too late to have the same cast. The cast of Sam, Andi, Ben and Sock was a quality mix of characters. They each brought a wonderful addition and uniqueness to the show. Again, it is a shame that it was taken off the air. I was and still amintrigued to know what happens next and how it all ends. I did find an article where the writer's were interviewed after the cancellation on what "would have" happened if the show had continued to Season 3. The thoughts and secrets that would have been revealed in the 3rd season were great and I think they would have even drawn in new viewers. The writer's are amazing and I think they should not give up on Reaper as being a show. It was nominated for several awards and even won a Leo. If anything I would tell the writer's to keep writing and talk to different networks about continuing the show with them, it would be great revenue for any network to have such an awesome show airing on their network. All in all I am disappointed about the cancelling of the show Reaper, and I keep up hope that it will continue and air again continuing the story line someday soon. Keep posting that you want it back..maybe someone will notice, who knows.moreless

    Fans of buffy have got to watch this, it's the closest thing you will get to the slayer. This show is great fun and less intense than Buffy, so it is easier to watch with WONDERFUL characters, the guy who plays the Devil is inspired. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! Do not add another great show like this to the attic, we are losing too many good and great shows. Reaper does have a feeling all of its own and is genuinely funny and you can't help but smile through most of the show. Poor Sam you can't help but feel for the guy, luckily he has his buddies to rely on.moreless
