Each year during upfront time, there is always at least one drama/dramedy I dearly love that is in danger of cancellation. The object of my obsession affection this year has been the CW's Reaper. This fantastic series has suffered from low ratings the entire season, making it an easy target for the cancellation pool.

I can't help but think that if only those Nielsen gods would just bestow that magical box in my home, I could become the Clark Kent/Buffy Summers/Sydney Bristow of all those underdog shows constantly in danger of cancellation.

In the case of Reaper, I am pleased to report that the CW has renewed the series! The show is scheduled to return midseason for 13 episodes. Did the Devil make them do it? Who cares -- I'm going to get my weekly dose of "Sock" next season. Life is good in TV land.
