I did not do the CW last year, so here are my predictions for the new shows coming this fall. (C)=comedy, (D)=drama, (R)=reality.
(C) Aliens in America - A mom becomes an exchange student host family hoping that the exchange student will help her son be popular. What they get is an boy who is also a Muslim. The story of how these two misfits become friends in that crazy world called high school. Gut reaction? NOT CANCELLED
(CD) Reaper - A young man finds out, on his 21st birthday, that his parents sold his soul to the devil. Now he is the devil's bounty hunter with a vast array of tools to help him get the job done. Before the previews came out, many thought this would be direct intrachannel competition for Supernatural, but it is so totally not. NOT CANCELLED because it seems like it will be fun.
(D) Gossip Girl - Kristen Bell, how we will miss you. If only Veronica Mars had continued with it's good writing and your quirky, yet believable delivery. Especially after the season finale. Now, however, we look forward to you on Heroes as well as the title character Gossip Girl. /end homage. Noone knows who Gossip Girl is, but Gossip Girls sees and knows all. Her voice over narration details the drama at a ritzy prep school and the drama that surrounds its inhabitants when THE "IT" Girl returns to the fold. NOT CANCELLED
(D) Life is Wild - Based on the British show, a family moves from the concrete jungle of New York City to the wilds of South Africa. It is a journey of self discovery for this new family. Let's hope it's good. NOT CANCELLED.
The CW will also premiere two pop culture shows, one called CW Now which they hope will become THE place for the latest info on celebrities, gossip, fashion, places, and things... everything that we supposedly want to know about what's hot, what's not and what's next. They will also premiere Online Nation, which is a show that pulls together the best of video online... you know, the videos we get in email every morning? They will get all of those together and show them all to us. Will possibly be fun for the people who don't live their lives online.

Reaper might be good. It reminds me of an idea I had for a TV show once, about a guy who works for the devil because of some irregularity in his soul selling contract. The result is that he can get his soul back after he collects X-number of others. Of course the show would really be about the people selling their souls getting what they deserve for being so greedy, power hungry, or presumptuous enough to think they can win in such a deal.
I like that concept, maybe better than the current concept. I know they want us to root for the guy, even though he works for the devil, because it's not his fault he's in this situation. Your idea, though, offers a chance a redemption and a chance to see people get what they deserve.
You're welcome to try to develop it. I liked the concept because there were several ways to go with it. The schadenfreude thing, of course, or as a procedural thing, showing how the agent of the devil makes people's wishes happen, or as a spiritual thing, where people realize they've screwed up and seek help from God, and so on. Plenty of possibilities for action, drama, or comedy. I always pictured David Duchovny as the guy, but it's been a while since I thought about it.
