Not sure where you heard they plan to stay on reaper along their fox deal, but everything I've read says they are not allowed to do that:
"Fazekas and Butters' exclusive deal with 20th TV effectively seals the fate of their bubble CW series as it calls for them to leave "Reaper," produced by ABC Studios, where the two had been based."
That is from THR, and there are many other such papers reporting the same.]]>May 20th 2009 1:44AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/19/hdtv-listings-for-may-19-2009/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/19/hdtv-listings-for-may-19-2009/
Tara and Michele made sure to maintain their involvement with Reaper when they signed the Fox contract. They will remain consultants for the show. That's straight from the horse's mouth:

Also Tyler's contract would allow him to stay on Reaper if it goes into syndication, but not if another network picks it up. I hate to be the bearer of bad news bringing light to this stuff, it does NOT mean the show is over. But according to reputable places, and contracts in place, the only way reaper might continue is either in syndication with tyler or on another network without, and I don't see the creators being allowed to stay attached in any official capacity.]]>May 20th 2009 2:35AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/19/hdtv-listings-for-may-19-2009/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/19/hdtv-listings-for-may-19-2009/
That's incorrect because it's incomplete. Reaper is not being picked up by the CW. That does not mean it is canceled. EW is conveniently ignoring THR's report that EW has even reported:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3id56fc6d97f8a77c1255ababf3180069d]]>May 20th 2009 3:10AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/19/hdtv-listings-for-may-19-2009/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/05/19/hdtv-listings-for-may-19-2009/

And Tyler himself has said his Reaper contract takes priority. Write or don't write, it's up to you. Certainly, hold on to your perceived grudge for as long as you want. But for those paying attention, the facts remain that ABC Studios is actively trying to keep Reaper going, whether in syndication or cable; the creators are still involved, although as consultants; there are plenty of people to take the creators place anyways; and the cast would be back no matter what. So there is still a chance Reaper can get another season next year.

And if there *is* anyone interested in trying to save Reaper, like ReaperDMV said, we are advocating writing the CW affiliates (ironically, ABC is negotiating to try and air Reaper on the Sunday nights the CW gave back to them), and thanking ABC Studios for not giving up on Reaper.

As for the week old article you posted, all it says is that the show might live on in syndication, which I was the first person here to mention. I gave the possibilities of the show either being picked up by another channel or in syndication, all I was trying to get across was the fact the show is as of right now officially a canceled show. When Entertainment Weekly, Variety, the Chicago Tribune and such are all stating as of yesterday that the show has been dropped by CW, that is what I was meaning when I said the show was canceled.

Now can we all just step back, relax, and hope the show gets picked up by another network (most likely FOX at this point) or put in syndication for those who continue to like it.]]>May 20th 2009 4:01AM
