Debunked: Marc Berman says "Reaper" will replace "Supernatural" in March

[fangirl_says]

The usually-dependable Marc Berman: "benchwarmer drama Reaper will open season two in place of Supernatural on Thursday in March. Supernatural is, however, expected back in 2009-10."

I'm trying to get more information on what this means (SPN will wrap season 4 in March? Or will this mean a hiatus in March and the season ends later?).

Edit: The also-usually-dependable James Hibbard at The Hollywood Reporter says Reaper is headed for Tuesdays after 90210, replacing Priviledged.

Son of Edit: Michael Ausiello, also usually dependable, seconds Reaper replacing Priviledged, not Supernatural.

Edit 3-D: Supernatural publicist Suzanne Gomez confirms Reaper will air Tuesdays at 9 p.m.

That's wrong. Reaper will take the place of Privileged on Tuesday nights, starting March 17th. The CW originally had been going to replace repeats of Smallville with Reaper, but it's been doing so well on Thursday they changed their strategy.

Do you have a link to that information? I'd like to update my post with that.

Sure thing: http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2008/12/scoop-reaper-re.html.

Maybe you could correct the Marc Berman story too? If this isn't fixed fast I can just see fans reacting in horror and outrage, and being once again classified as crazy fanatics.

Well, no, I can't correct the Marc Berman story because that's his story, but I did post asking him to elaborate, and I'm checking with the Supernatural publicist as well.

Sorry, I didn't phrase that well. That's what I meant.

No probs. :)
