'90210' hawks soda

Rhetorical question du jour: Could they pimp Dr. Pepper any more obviously on The CW's "90210" this week? It was bad enough when the soda was featured prominently in the background of the Peach Pit, but on Tuesday the show's stars were...

'Reaper' returns

The CW's "Reaper" (8 tonight, WPCW) began last season with a strong pilot whose format was copied a little too closely in subsequent episodes. The series didn't really start to find its legs until the second half of its first season...
