TV-Reaper, Medium and Dollhouse

Reaper has finally returned. I have a fondness for this show. On the CW (which is barely a network) it is about a schlep named Sam, who finds out that his soul was sold to Satan before he was born, and now he has to become Satan's bounty hunter and recapture escaped souls. But---its a comedy. And it is funny, with some really good performances, especially by Ray Wise as Satan, and Tyler Labine as Sam's friend, Sock. And Missy Peregrym is pretty nice to look at.

I have said the marriage in Medium is one of the best parts of the show. But they finally addressed a complaint my lovely wife has had for several seasons. How the heck does Joe get ANY sleep, with Allison always waking him up to tell her about her wacky dreams. This episode concerned Joe's lack of sleep, and we are very happy that this important issue has been put to rest.

And Dollhouse is on my viewing list, though the relationship is still tenuous. It varies from OK to pretty good episodes, so I am giving it a long leash.
