The CW's New Shows for the 2007-08 Season

Reaper

Premieres: Tuesday, Sept. 25
Airs: Tuesdays at 9 p.m.

The Pitch: Working for Satan is hell.

Sam (Bret Harrison) always lacked ambition, and his parents never really pushed him ... because they had sold his soul to the devil before he was even born. Now that he's 21, it's time to pay in the form of being employed as the devil's bounty hunter to collect souls that have sneaked away from hell.

What They Got Right: Harrison is just the best, befuddled everyman that is still likable. You root for him, but aren't above pointing a finger and laughing at him at the same time.

What's Oh, So Wrong: Sam's sidekick "Sock" (Tyler Labine) is a tad too loud and wacky in a show that's already cartoony enough.

Recommended If ...: You're a disgruntled, misunderstood worker with an evil boss.
