I am watching this right now on HBO, and I haven't laughed once. It's not that it's offensive; it's that this man is blindingly unfunny. I don't care who a comic insults if there is an actual joke behind it ...somewhere.

I love Louis CK, Chris Rock (misogynist, yet damn funny), The late greats George Carlin, Bill Hicks and Richard Pryor.... Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Maria Bamford, David Cross, Margaret Cho, Dana Gould, Jimmy Carr, Dylan Moran, ..all can be as insulting, arrogant and offensive as they please. Because they have the jokes to back it all up.

No one cares if a joke is PC or not. We just need a comedian to be funny. He needs to stop hiding behind outrageousness and write an actual joke.

Be funnier

Reaper was much much better than I thought it was going to be; consistently funny and not predictable in the way that most sitcoms are. It is a regular on my TiVo list now, I can only hope that the network doesn't kill it off for some lame reality show replacement. If you get a chance, watch it, it is the rare network show that is funny without resorting to being dumb. It's so strange to actually have something decent to watch on regular TV! Excellent casting, especially for the Devil.

Oh, and the person who was reminded of Shaun of the Dead - the unlikely loser hero with the fat maladjusted buddy is a comedy standby. Shaun of the Dead borrows from some of the best as well - Ghostbusters, Army of Darkness, etc....But the comparison to Shaun of the dead is really a compliment - watch Reaper folks, you won't regret it, and you will actually laugh for a change.

Still can't believe that this is on Network TV.....it's too good, someone must have made a mistake.

Sort of the actual Project Runway. I had no expectations, but was totally drawn in by this film, a simple and candid look at the somewhat ugly innards of the fashion business. I doubt anyone without some peripheral experience or knowledge of the industry realizes how grueling it actually is; the fact that you can be touted as a success and yet still be up to your eyeballs in debt. The filmmaker did an excellent job of capturing the subjects and the tension was tangible. My personal favorite was the Russian designer of the Cloak line, I hope he succeeds in the business.

Plus, you get to see Claire Danes get hit in the head with a camera.(just joking)
