The Reunion Reaper

MODERATORS

Read the interview to find out, as we find out about their Reaper experience in addition to trying to get some long-standing Reaper questions answered! How does it feel, five years later, to get the whole Reaper gang back together for a reunion special? It was so much fun.

Bret Harrison and Tyler Labine are reprising their cult-classic roles, on February 20, at We knew him from a different show we worked on called Ed.

What was especially nice was listening to how much everybody loved being on the show, and what a great experience it was. Did you ever think there would be a possibility of getting everybody back together like that?

You think people move on, and they tend to go to different jobs like we did… you have fond memories. The writing staff has really stayed in touch, and we see most of the writers on a regular basis, but like Michele said, it was truly a pleasure to see all of the actors again, and to hear that they really enjoyed the experience themselves. Reaper should have been a huge hit.

It was really well received by a loyal group of fans. You know, we came out the same year that Gossip Girl came out, and the network decided was sort of their network identity. They were the ones who bought the pilot.

Reaper Reunion Special Announced

They were the ones who put us on the air. It was just weird timing.

Upcoming Events

So, the studio was incredibly supportive of us. Our ratings were actually overall as good as Gossip Girl and our repeats actually ran better than Gossip Girl, so it was hard to see that they were moving in a different direction. Was there any truth to that? They took it to, I think, some cable networks, and they also were looking to see if there was a way to do it in strip syndication. The studio was actually making money on the show.

Like a lot of genre stuff, it sells very well internationally, so even in our first year, they were making a profit on the show. Not just based on The CW deal, but based on selling it internationally. So they had a definite interest in trying to keep it going. I know they tried. He was so perfect in that role. We had seen so many actors who gave very good auditions, but he was exactly what we had in our minds. For whatever reason, I ended up doing most of his dialogue, and I loved writing for him, because you knew that he would say it exactly the perfect way.

We are humungous fans of his. I think that for me, it was Ben, and the fact that he really starts to embrace the comedy, and we really started to write for him in the second season. I think that the whole storyline with him and Jenny Wade, his demon girlfriend, was probably my favorite storyline.

He had done some comedy. Which person on the Reaper writing staff was the most like Sock in real life? Surely there had to be kind of inspiration. Sock was based on a friend of ours, who we ended up hiring. We knew him from a different show we worked on called Ed.

You are exactly our friend! On the subject of inspirations, have you ever had a boss like Ted? I read an interview before where you talked about your plans for Season 3, but for those who might be too lazy to look on Wikipedia, can you tell me anything about that?

Sam's Ability / REAPER

She definitely brought to the table a great dynamic to the cast. It was just so much fun to see everyone, and we all just had a great time and a bunch laughs ensued right away. We were lucky enough to even be picked up. At the time, Gossip Girl was pretty much the flagship for The CW, so we did not fit in to that ideal. We did do really well, and we did have our own audience, and we were gaining fans, and we were doing really well in our demographic.

I believe, had we gotten a little more support, we could have totally sustained ourselves and possibly done even better. Do you think the show airing on FEARnet could possibly expose people to the show who might not have been able to see it the first time around? I totally believe that it could even open more doors.
