I remember watching the premiere of reaper and liking it. I also really liked Dead Like Me (I never watched the movie though). I just hate watching awesome shows that get cut off with no "real" ending (Studio 60, Jericho, Pushing Daisies, Journeyman, Moonlight, Deadwood, Surface, Huff, United States of Tara, just to name a few).
In a way I'd rather just not get invested in another one of these shows, but $8.50 shipped is a great price.
