I am really surprised that even with the popularity Reaper had at the time that it still didn't get renewed. When Reaper was on it had some stiff competition and they still had decent ratings. At least I found out from working for Dish Network that all the Reaper episodes from both seasons are on DishOnline.com so I can stream them for free to my computer.

I'm guessing that they are using the pre-orders on Season 2 as a gauge of the potential future season DVD sales. If people really support this show, they should pre-order the Season 2 -- those sales are a HUGE factor to the studios -- it's primarily how they get their money back, especially when a show doesn't have enough episodes to syndicate.

i wish that shows would do this more often, work on the commentary and extras after your done filming and its showing and release in within a month so i can have me some shows.

Unfortunately, by the time the S2 DVDs come out, the decision on Reaper's fate will already be made. And I can't say they're rushing, since I think the same time has elapsed since the end of filming as when the S1 DVDs came out. It has nothing to do with the creators leaving, since that was only announced last week, and the DVD release news has been out for months.

To reiterate though, if we want Reaper to stay, we need to let the CW know. The CW will never know how we feel if we never tell them.

It has nothing to do with Butters and Fazekas leaving, since the original DVD news was released months ago, and the other news only last week.

To reiterate, the CW will never know how we feel if we never tell them. So if you want the show to stay, it's best to let them know.

will S1 and S2 be released on Blu-Ray?

I love the show, but this season would have been better if it had been written by two drunken monkeys rather than the current staff.

Half ass. Character motives seem to change about as frequently as Vanessa Williams' costumes on Ugly Betty. There's a thought -- like CSI and Two And A Half Men, have the writers of Ugly Betty and Reaper switch places.

Reaper is a decent concept, and the actors are very good, but the writing quality is the thing that seems to sway from good to boring from one episode to the next.

As to the sped up DVD release date: I'll bet that has something to do with the date the exec producers leave, thus leaving any creative responsibilities behind -- prolly a few extra ducats if you are responsible for the production of the DVD before you hit the door....
