I’m not a big fan of supernatural but I don’t think you can really compare the two just cos they both have a horror/comedy theme.
Apart from the fact that hundreds of shows have the same themes, anyone can claim stolen ideas. Otherwise you would say that Supernatural is a clear rip off from heaps of previous sci fi shows from our generation; The X-files probably being the most popular and longest running.
Grey’s, Scrubs; both shows I like; newer versions of E.R, which was a newer & updated version of General Hospital.
No matter what show, or genre, you can think of, everything has some repetitiveness.
There just isn’t that much these days that hasn’t already been used.
You have to look at the little things that make them unique and what you like about them.
Supernatural is just that – supernatural sci fi. Tho it does have comedic value, it’s a lot more on the dark side of it.
Reaper is far more comedy than horror – even the supernatural themes are done in a lighthearted way and always comes back to good fun.
Next time you bad mouth a show you don’t like, think about one you do like, then go ask your parents what show from their generation it’s a rip off of – they’ll have more than one answer.

I love Reaper! And I think Bret does an awesome job on it. It would be great to see Adam show up on it! Great interview. Thanks. And btw, Reaper is a zillion times better than Supernatural, and Reaper has good actors going for it too.

iF THIS SHOW IS SUCH A HIT AT THE CW , THEN WHY ARE THE RATINGS down, and why wasnt the actor asked a question ….like arent you afraid of being compared to a bigger hit at the CW Supernatural? AND can you guys get sued for having the same story lines as in Supernatural? AND do you even know that there is another 25 yr. old demon hunter named Sam?

I cant get into a show that is a rip off of one I love Supernatural. Come on a 25 yr. old demon hunter named Sam. Can you imagined if the CW had cancled SPN To replace it with another sci-fi show about a young demon hunter named Sam involve with Satan….but his name aint Winchester….this is why I hate this network because Its filled with rich stupid excutives who dont know what is coming out of their ”A ” HOLE.

[...] as bad as I imagine? Was REAPER’s second episode as strong without Kevin Smith directing [Star Bret Harrison doesn’t think so]? Did CANE continue to entertain in that we’re-ripping-off-DALLAS-and-we-know-it kind of way? [...]
