167, ns!5
ns!5) I've always seen Reaper as a dramedy. Early in the series the amount of drama and comedy was quite balanced, but from give or take ep. 11-12 on it shifted towards more suspense and drama with a handful of great jokes thrown in. And honestly? It's the dramatic focus that really strengthened the show. We're delving into an interesting mythology and realizing that not all is as seems with the characters we thought we knew. Of course I love the humor in the show too. The scriptwriters come up with some brilliant one-liners and banter. But calling it just a comedy is selling the series short because it's so much more than its wit. I wouldn't call it satire either because I don't see it as making fun of other supernaturally themed shows. It's just putting its own spin on something that's been done before, and it works.
Besides, what's wrong with having a heckuva lot of fun picking apart, analyzing, and thinking out the mythological bits? Just because Reaper's LOL FUNNY doesn't mean there's no thought behind it.

The more absurd the show is...the more serious the fandom takes it. The fandom seems to have NO sense of humor whatsoever. Shaun of the Dead had drama in it...but it is still a comedy.
