Poll: Dead Like Me...

[Good morning blues]

It's a pretty great show. Since nobody's explained it yet, it's about a girl who is killed in a freak accident, who basically comes back from the dead to be a grim reaper. The show is about her collecting souls of people who also die in freak accidents, as well as the other reapers doing the same job.

I was quite little when it showed, and I REALLY did not like it.

i really liked dead like me, i was pissed when they cancelled it. there are a few reasons why it was cancelled, first it was cause Bryan Fuller left the show cause Showtime was being a dick to him and secondly cause ratings weren't enough and there was some quality issues with the show's writing cause Fuller left

it's not the first time Showtime/MGM stuck it's nose into the shows and caused the creator to leave, the same thing happened with Jeremiah and JMS

It was a strait to dvd release so you should look it up, and if you decide to ignore my warning its availible on netflix.

Recently, Hulu has put the whole series of Dead Like Me [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Like_Me] on the site and I have to say, it's a joy to see again. Now this show was made way back in 2003 with very successful ratings. However, it was canceled for unknown reasons with are still discussed.

Now, I've seen this show before and it's great seeing it again. Here's to hoping the new movie will kick the series back to life.

I loved this show when it used to air. I thank you for notifying me of this, I know have something to eliminate the mindless bore of the summer holidays with.

Aw.

Well, thanks for informing me of it.

I've never heard of this before, but it does sound watchable.

Yes, I'm actually watching it on Hulu as I write this, now even more sorely disappointed that they canceled such a wonderfully dramedy show like this.

Perhaps it's my inner-goth speaking up and showing an uncharacteristic grin that the entire show involves death and the dealings after. Mayhap it's the fact that it's British, and if Sean of the Dead, Death at a Funeral, and Hot Fuzz have taught me anything, it's that a European accent adds to even the most low types of humor. Then again, it could be that the show gives such a wonderful mix of drama and comedy to make it so everyone's happy. Also, the dichotomy of the characters itself is fairly laugh-worthy (the crook vs the cop, the normal girl vs the pretty girl)

Another fledgling hope for good TV show writing shot down in favor of no doubt some American Idol rip off.

I highly advise against the third option. I can resist the silly option.

Anyway. Great show. Glad its back

Not that I wasn't torrenting it before hulu
