Sue Grafton meets Reaper

  Because I have a TiVo and because I am extremely lazy, I rarely get around to watching shows until several days - or sometimes a week - after they've actually aired. So I'm late in my congrats to last week's episode of The CW's Reaper for a funny reference to Sue Grafton.

Hell's bounty hunter Sam (Bret Harrison, pictured here with scythe that he will use several times to chop up an escaped soul from hell - see, I told you this was a good show) has this friend named Ben (Rick Gonzalez), who is picky about girls and his must-list includes "must be familiar with the works of Miss Sue Grafton." By way of explanation, he tells his buddies, "Intellectual."

Sam: "Sue Grafton? Really?"

Ben: "Alphabet novels are sick, and G is for Gumshoe is so off the hook."

Kudos, Reaper. Here's hoping somebody at the CW realizes you are a smart and clever show, and that Laura Palmer's dad (Ray Wise) as the devil is what we like to call genius casting.

IF ITS A CLEVER SHOW THEN NO ONE WILL WATCH IT AND IT WILL GET TAKEN OFF THE AIR. IM STILL BITTER OVER THE LOSE OF STUDIO 60.
