Whatever Became Of Scripted TV by ~Cristin:iconCristin:

Artist's Comments

I’ve accepted that Reaper’s been canceled. Everybody wants a miracle to happen, but I’m no longer holding my breath for it. I’m an Atheist through and through, after all.

The cast was great, the show was great, and the fans were great. It didn’t matter. It’s the fault of business. Of the apathetic powerful.
The following has been agreed on by industry experts and entertainment critics:
- The CW gave Reaper almost no promotion and a sacrificial timeslot against American Idol.
- Reaper retained retrospectively commendable ratings in spite of the former.
- Reaper has consistently received a positive critical reception.
- ABC Studios explored possibilities of syndication to CW affiliates/cable. Virtually all affiliates expressed interest in syndication. But ABC didn’t extend its efforts.

Many viewers, journalists and critics agree that Reaper wasn’t only BY FAR the best show on the CW, but was one of the best shows on television anywhere at the time. The cast was outstanding, and they loved each other.
And now Reaper might be forgotten due to its short life. This is unfair to history. Because the show was damned funny. And because Reaper gave our planet the best Devil to ever grace film, T.V., theater, literature, video games, comic books, or traditional artwork.
I will never watch a CW-owned show again, and will hate them forever. The blame goes mostly on those sinners and fools, and to ABC for not even trying. And to the whole doomed industry. But it’s also your fault. The fault of stupid people who would rather watch American Motherfucking Idol... and America’s Next Top Model or Dancing With the Stars. The people who pee on the seats of public toilets. The people who elect leaders for their religious views. The lowest common denominator. Mindless entities with no will of their own. You aren’t people. And you don’t deserve the rights of people.
I've given up on most of television. It's been proven that originality has no place here.
This is the age of reality shows, game shows, and more reality shows.

I decided to go ahead and let my emo out, and go with the more dramatic title. SO WHAT OF IT!?
The title was formerly "somethings wrong with this art"
Something's just not right with this doodle. Nobody's been able to put their finger on it quite yet. But for me to dwell on it would be out of character.
I was going to put a cigarette in the Devil's fingers, but I got tired of holding this tablet so fuck it.

Another stand alone, fully colored piece, I like it. And I like the rant as well, it makes sense and it is saddening to see another great show go down the tubes because of reality TV. May the Fanbase live long and stand strong.

And another awesome show bites the dust. -heavy sigh-

And they'll prolly make one DvD of it, and never release anymore, and never show reruns. -_- All I have to say is "Fuck you, American Idol. America's got Talent is a way cooler show."

That's right. I went there.

Even Cartoonnewtork has surcum to reality tv. It's time we start placing gypsy curses on the tv companies *insert Drag me to Hell referance here*

On a semi-related note, Cartoonnetwork played two episodes of the improtu cancled Teen Titans. Just two. Two random ones from the middle of the serises.

Oh, God- I love that show. All the good stuff gets cancled. F'in' middle aged women watching that damn American Idol. It's a waste of tv space.

I liked Reaper...and only watch the first like...ten episodes of American Idol to see the really bad singers get verbally abused. and that's only if there's nothing better on. Reaper was SOOOO much better.

They released it on DVD really early after the finale actually, with like one decent special feature. One editor commented on like how disrespectful it was to the great show.
They add insult to injury wherever they can.

Anyway yeah. Entertainment is dying. We were THIS close to entering a golden age of TV. I blame the writer's strike. Reaper was like born during the writer's strike. Why can't those writers just learn their place.

Those freaking whiners! I'd give my right leg (I'd get it pegged afterwords) to work where they work- And then they went and stook. That's when Heroes went down the crapper too -_-. Not making enough money, they have/had the best jobs in the world...It just steams me.

They did? Those freakin' jerkfaces. Hontestly, no class anymore.

Oh, I thought that the devil and the dude were getting replaced by nigger actors in a new season.

Would you still watch it then? :3

Why would you think that? The cast MADE the show. And Ray Wise IS a nigger. He's a total brudda.
