Oh yeah, Reaper has definite potential. I mean, the lead actor looks like a cross between Hugh Grant and Michael Vartan. That alone would sell me, but the premise is great and he can actually act, too.
I also felt that it was a bit uneven in its humor, but I thought it was a very good pilot. The sidekick didn't bother me as much as he bothered you, but that was the aspect of the show that worked the least well for me, tonally. Bits I loved: DMV as hell on earth, the dirtdevil needing to be charged, the dad sitting his kid down and explaining that they sold his soul to the devil. I think it could be a new Buffy, honestly.
