Could this shift in tone be a hint that The CW is considering re-pairing this show with Gossip Girls or One Tree Hill at some point down the road?

I too enjoyed the pilot, very well-crafted and funny...and with the best music selection for a series that I've heard in a long time (that opening Beck song seems like it was written for the show!).

Mr. Kevin Smith's influence was felt throughout the pilot, from the Silent Bob side-kick to the Batman reference ("the lady or the tiger"). I anticipate that the writers going forward will be giving all the best lines to Mr. Ray Wise, who was truly superb.

I'm not following your logic. You think they are focusing more on the relationship angle because they plan to stop pairing it with a show specifically about relationships (B&tG)?

In any case, I've finished watching episode #1 of Reaper and I will be back for episode #2. The weakest link in the series is the main character - way too much like the main character on USA network's: 'Psych'. Still, the show was funnier than any of Monday night's CBS sitcoms. I hope this episode got a good sampling so people had the chance to see that humor.

The guy was basically just doing a George Hamilton impersonation, though.
