Ever wondered how HBO’s Carnivale was meant to end? How about Journeyman on NBC? Or Reaper on the WB?

Reaper’s back! Reaper is a quirky little show that somehow won pretty much all of the TVZ cast over. Sure, sometimes it wasn’t as deep as we hoped, but the characters were likeable and the adventure and humor was solid. After a ten month hiatus, season two returned Tuesday night.
