I watched every episode. I liked it. It had a low key kind of feel for me, kind of like Monk.
I loved this show as well. They are making either a straight to video or tv movie for it:
http://http://imdb.com/title/tt1079444/
Although, be warned ***Casting Spoilers*** Highlight below with mouse.
Mandy Patinkin is not returning as Rube (new character to take over as boss), and Daisy Adaire has been recast.
That is great that they are making a movie!!!
I loved this show! So much!
I like Pushing Daisies too.
I tried to watch "Dead Like Me" - right after I finished up with Six Feet Under, but I just couldn't get into it. The characters on the show just annoyed me mostly, and I guess I was "spoiled" after SFU.
I love Mason!!!!!!
Want to work for Rube...
drink with Roxy..
And kiss George....
i loved this show...i thought that it was well played out and i love anything that has Mandy Patinkin in it. Too bad it was cut after 2 seasons...
I loved that show so much. My fav was Mason. Georges mom, sheesh, what a case. But the lady at Happy Time was a hoot.
Not only did I watch it-I still am. I bought both seasons and am getting everyone in the family interested in it. Delores Herbig as in "her big brown eyes" hee hee. My favorite!
I hope the movie is as good. However, no Rube and a different girl playing Daisy, Daisy Adare.
Ellen is my friend on myspace...:cool:
Has anyone seen this show before? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348913/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_like_me
It is about reapers. It aired on Showtime from 2003-2004 before it was cancelled. :( A movie of the show is supposed to be released in 2009 (straight to DVD). Depending on the success of the movie, the show may be picked back up again.
If you haven't seen it, you definitely should! It is the perfect show for any death hag.
Totally loved the show. Saw every episode. I was pissed when it was cancelled. I have the series on DVD. I watch it religiously. I didnt know they were making a movie. thats so cool. :) I cant wait!
I really liked this programme, hope they repeat the series before the film is out.
Oh yeah I forgot to mention I think that the series aires on the Sci-fi channel currently. :)
yeah, i think thats right.Quote:

i wish it hadn't been canceled.
I liked "Six Feet Under" better...:D
I've seen both seasons on dvd. I love it! Every character is just that- a character, and an endearing one at that! I _love_ Dolores, the temp boss! The actress who plays her is currently on "Reaper" as the demon who works at the Department of Motor Vehicles (or whatever they call it in California) and collects the souls.

"..as in her big fat ass.." I recall George saying that once to her too.
I loved her and that big beasty looking secretary who collected post-its! haha
I cant believe that it was cancelled I mean that show had sooo much potential and to have it just gone like that sucked monkey balls. :(
I loved that show.
Am I the only one that thinks Mandy Patinkin is kinda hot?
Crystal! I liked her too!Quote:

I read there will be a Dead Like Me film-I so hope so. I loved that show!

The man is talented-very talented. But he evidently doesn't like long-term contracts such as tv(Broadway yes-tv is a no)
uh oh that show is my weakness I just love that show. !!!
It drove me nuts crazy to think of where I had seen that character Roxy played by Jasmine Guy till if finally hit me, she played Whitley on A Different World. I prefer Roxy's character.
Great show.
Everytime I see her on Reaper I think the same line. I loved Dead Like Me. I didn't have Showtime so I watched the series from Netflix.Quote:

The Jasmine Guy character looked as though she just got out of bed, wearing these 80's inspired hair curlers, complaining that she hates doing evaluations........Georgia walks up to the counter and the guy sitting behind the counter was reading a book on watercolor paintings and was absolutely enthralled by it. He wouldn't let Georgia fill out an evaluation.
Then I fell back asleep.
I loved the episode where they were having to go through all of the post-it notes of people's final thoughts and wishes and Mason found Daisy's in the pile. Made me cry a little.
No Rube in the new "movie". His story was done by the end of the series, so now they're bringing in a new guy to play that part. From what I've heard, he's the complete opposite of Rube.
I loved Daisy-she was the best(next to George of course)
Anyone notice that the guy who made the series must love girls with guy's name?
He also made 'Pushin Daisies' and one of the female characters on there is named 'Chuck'
I still like Dead Like Me better than that show though.
My favorite episodes: 1) The one where George went to her bosse's apartment. She had a webcame and people watch her clean and comment on the cleaning.
2) The final one during Halloween-I love what George says
about how everyone is different paintings(or colors,I forget)
One of the victims in that episode is Emily Perkins who played the younger sister in the 'Ginger Snaps' films.
Yes but I was very distracted because she looks so much like Laura San Giamoco.
I can even get you a free drink for $3! Spongebob squarepants
I absolutely loved that show and just recently watched the movie 'the faculty' and saw little miss blondie daisy in it.. I was crazy about Mason.. maybe it was the accent, either way great show!
I loved this show too!! I watched it all on DVD after it had been cancelled already. How sad. Deloris Herbig was one of the best characters on TV ever. I thought she was annoying at first too, but they really developed her well!

The actress who played Daisy on the show is not in the movie. Here is the IMDB on the movie.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1079444/
I have Ellen Muth (George) as a friend on myspace and I'm hoping she'll tell us when they are releasing it. And I think it will go straight to DVD.
I love Mandy Patinkin, 'course I could be partial since my name is also Mandy (not Amanda). I can't name a favorite episode~I love them all.
Mason "I've got illegals in my bottom"
I love that show!
OH Bummer, I totally thought that was her.. I shoulda checked it out first.. thanks!!! Still love me some mason lol.. I feel like I should grab out my dvds now.
This show was PERFECT..........the writing, the acting, and the stories.......one of the few I really miss.......didn`t hear about a flick coming out, but I`d pay to see it.......

i am also hoping that ellen will tell us more about the film via myspace
the last i read, the movie is going straight to dvd.....
OMg, I cant believe there is gonna be a movie!I love Dead Like Me! :)
Im happy now.
I tried to find the old thread but couldn't!
For those who were fans of 'Dead Like Me'-the movie has been made Ninjavideo.net
If you want to see the film on-line.
Rubin is gone and they get assignments on Treos.
Yay!
Thanks Hoxy :)
I know there was a thread for the tv show Dead Like Me but I couldn't find it. Anyway I watched the new movie on dvd from Netflix yesterday. Good movie. New actress plays Daisy but all the others are back except Ruben.
You can also rent it on I-Tunes for 4.99 and buy it for 14.99!
This is one of my top two favorite shows, along with "Taxi." I love the dark humor, the chemistry between Rube and George, all the characters, and the secondary storyline of how George's family deals with her death over the months ahead. And George is one of TV's classic characters, IMO. She had quite a unique personality and outlook on life. ;) Every character on the show was unique and brilliant though. The music is great too. Stewart Copeland from The Police scored a lot of it. And the song "Boom Boom Ba" by Metisse, which they used a lot, was beautiful and haunting. I've got that on my I-Pod.
I like it a little better than Six Feet Under, which went south a bit in later seasons (although it was always a quality show).
I wish Betty (Rebecca Gayheart) had stayed with the show, though. I love how she always took a poloroid of her "reaps" right before they died and would say, "Happy thoughts!" before she snapped the camera. lol Her departure was kind of sad and mysterious. I wonder why she really left the show.
It was really a classic concept in a sea of mediocrity on television. I diligently tuned in every week.
