Anyone know about the show Dead Like me? There's 2 seasons. But apparently they aren't making a 3rd season. That sucks because it's such a cool show. I love it. I heard they might be doind a made for TV movie? But I'm not sure. I can't believe it was cancelled.

I, for one, can believe that it's getting cancelled. It was such a stupid show! Okay, but seriously? I'm just messin' with you, Linkk. I really do like the show. This is the first I heard that it was cancelled...*sigh*. Oh well, guess the two seasons will have to do. If they do make it into a television movie, well, it's better than nothing, right?

Some of it was pretty good, even though it was slow in parts. The script was well written, laced with dark humour and the storyline picked up when she finds a 'job'. Unfortunately I never get to watch teevee, it gets hogged by my television obsessed family, so thirty minutes a week would be too much to ask for ;D

On another note, isn't it a Canadian production?

Jeez! I loved it! I've watched both, and I didn't like the second. It felt like it was by another person, and that sucked. The first one was really good, and didn't suck at all. :animestun
It was very thought-provoking, and always had a moral! :animenose

[SIZE=1]Interesting, most interesting.

It's a pity that [B]Dead Like Me[/B] won't be continuing past it's second season as I rather enjoyed the show, it was just so different to anything else I'd seen before. I'll admit the plot to the show wasn't exactly groundbreaking, well actually the idea of seeing life through a grim reaper's eyes is pretty much untouched, but as plots go it wasn't exactly the most solid foundation. In a case where your base storyline doesn't change, i.e. that it entirely revolves around how crappy it is to be a reaper, then you need really great dialogue and thought provoking episode stories, in all honesty Dead Like Me didn't have either in the levels it required. Still a pity to see it go though.[/SIZE]

I agree with waht you say, and I have nothing else to say! :animesmil

[font=Verdana][color=blue]If that's the case, it's best not to post at all. Even if you agree with a person, explain why. Otherwise, the post is considered spam.[/color][/font]

[quote name='Linkk']My info from a friend might be wrong. My mom told me that she saw an ad for a new DEad Like Me season! So until I see it or don't see it I'm not sure. But I really hope there is a 3 season![/quote]

Really? Cool! :animesmil Hope that season's as good as the first one!

[font=Arial][size=2]Ooo, ooo, ooooOOOO, yes, YAY! [i]Dead Like Me[/i] was my [b]obsession show[/b] for a long time. It was the show I was like, "Back off, the TV is MINE!" whenever it was on, and I was sad to hear that there would be no more seasons of it. But apparently that was incorrect, so all is good now! I loved the dark humour and although the plot was non-existant [does anyone else think that the only real plot was in George's family and the rest was like a sideline: stuff happened but nothing ever went anywhere -- and does anyone else think that that was deliberate to make a point?] the premise was fun and spiffy. I really loved it. [/size][/font]

Well I've just checked Wiki, TV.com and IMDB and they all say that the show has ended. I hope they're wrong but seeing as the last episode was aired in 2004, chances are already has one foot in the grave, no pun intended. Still here's hoping if it is back that it scoots over to Ireland and the UK after I get back, so that I don't miss the season premiere.[/SIZE]

I thought the show was a lot of fun, but I'm not all that surprised it got cancelled either. Showtime has some of the best original series out of all the movie channels. But I'm wondering how large the audience is for a channel that costs so much.
I'm just glad scifi picked up stargate sg-1 after showtime canceled it. But I don't think anyone is picking up dead like me.[/SIZE][/FONT]
