I watched, found it boring as hell. Didn't realize KS directed it, but that explains a lot, as I've never cared for his stuff.

I liked it. I caught the pilot a while back and I'm positive they changed the girl who works in the store with the lead actor and I can't figure out why, the original girl was much better.
I like the tone of the show and I love the best pal "Ben needs eyebrows and we are going to give them to him".
I think the Buffy crowd could embrace the show - it doesn't need huge ratings to stay alive if it is on the CW.

I caught this last night. It was funny I thought. We'll see though. Ever since Wonderfalls, I have been cautious about getting too involved in a new show.
The lead guy has Ali Larder syndrome....short upper lip. I was shocked how cute he could be though when his mouth was closed. [/shallow] His side kick was pretty funny though. I think I'll try to catch this one again.
Also, the girl reminded me so much of Amanda Peet or that girl in Million Dollar Baby. I had to look twice.
Not much new for this season on TV it seems.

I thought it was pretty funny, and I'll definitely keep watching. I loved the little jokes like the guy yelling he was Jewish during the ham giveaway meeting, and the devil saying he might consider keeping the car if it was an Escalade or something during the car-jacking. I wanted to watch this, but I forgot when it was on. The premise reminds me of Dead Like Me-is it similar to that show? This Reaper's job is to catch souls that have escaped from Hell. They're already dead and have snuck back to earth to cause trouble.

I thought it was alright and will continue watching. Some stuff did make me laugh. The only thing that bugged me was that the girl looked just like Hilary Swank, teeth and all. It was distracting.

I liked it, thought it was funny. Also, Ray Wise is perfect casting for the devil. Seriously. Thanks to Twin Peaks the man freaks me out.

Sam being all moody and whiny over that girl is getting really old.

Aha! Here it is. I really like this show so I'm assuming it has been cancelled or will be any day now because, well, this is what happens to shows I like. Ray Wise is so good, and I want to adopt the guy who plays Sock. He's like Jack Black, except funny and cute and without that certain something that makes me want to stab him in the head with a pitchfork.
I agree with the person who thinks Sam's Andi-moping is out of hand, and would personally like to see it replaced, whenever possible, with more, more, and then some more of Christine Willes' DMV demon.

I sort of like the show, but I think half of the reason I continue to watch is Sock and Ben. They're so neat and funny - and not mopey.
I continue to think that if they made the show a half hour and cut out all the crap, you'd have much more audience interest.
