According to the Star of Reaper, he said it was a stupid horror show. With Kevin Smith I have a feeling it's going to be a slap stick comedy type show. "Jay and Silent Bob" anyone.

I don't see it doing well against Grey's and CSI...

Kevin Smith definitely said that Reaper would be more like Shaun of the Dead than Dead Like Me. That being said, does anyone know who the show runner would be for Reaper? Unfortunately, it would be so easy for the show to go off track and just be campy and lame instead of funny.

Dead like me was okay, but Shaun of the Dead sucked in my opinion.

The star of Reaper called it a "Stupid Horror Show" now that isn't good.

none of the NBC pilots were getting any buzz anyway

well, there's THE BIONIC WOMAN... which is getting terrible buzz. it apparently is a big ol' mess (having read the most recent draft... the original 2-hour pilot version was far superior).

Wow, Travis, I thought Laeta's original 2-hr script was atrocious, completely clunky dialogue and laugh-out-loud plot "twists." The 1-hr felt like a huge improvement in terms of plot, tone, and characterization...

This isn't a drama question but has anyone heard if Jezebel James has been picked up by FBC? I'm hearing contradicting reports that it has and hasn't.

Yes, it's been picked up, along with Rules of Starting Over, and Back to You aka Action News, by FOX.

latest pickup is the "IT Crowd" on NBC. Midseason order.

Curious about Canterbury's Law and New Amsterdam. Have heard nothing but terrible things about both shows and they get series orders.. Meanwhile buzz was good on Apostles and Them and nothing yet....Even Nurses had better buzz then Canterbury and Amersterdam.... hmmm

I'm just going to wait until this week too see it all laid out.

All this speculation about what's been picked up and new schedules and whatnot is making me a bit distressed.
