Synopsis
While the cable TV dramedy Dead Like Me may resemble a bizarro version of Touched by an Angel, series creator Bryan Fuller insisted that his inspiration was Piers Anthony's novel On a Pale Horse, in which a mere mortal is forced by circumstance to replace "Mr. Death." Ellen Muth stars as Georgia "George" Lass, an 18-year-old perennial loser whose inability to stay in school or hold down a job is matched by the disdain in which she is held by her family. Given George's miserable track record, it is hardly surprising that she is killed in a stupid freak accident, crushed to death by a fragment of the Mir space station's toilet. Upon realizing that she is dead, George finds herself in the company of three other recent decedents: vapid glamour girl Betty (Rebecca Gayheart), self-styled lothario Mason (Callum Blue), and streetwise Roxy (Jasmine Guy). Assembled by abrasive angel Rube (Mandy Patinkin), George and her new companions have been assigned to a post-mortem "Reaper" team, dedicated to helping other departed souls make the transition between life and death. The team's job was complicated by the fact that all of the Reapers retained the memories and emotions of their "living" days, and all of them had left behind unresolved issues that would have to be resolved in the afterlife. Dead Like Me debuted June 27, 2003 on Showtime. - Hal Erickson In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

I used to when we had Showtime. I have no idea what happened to Showtime here,but we have an "illegal piece"  that gave us free channels and showtime was one of them. It was channel 16 here,but now channel 16 is some pointless local channel.

I never realized how annoying my sig. line can be  Even for Bjork fans.   [This message was edited Mon Aug 16 21:11:26 2004 by HelloKittyIsMyFriend] Four strings across the bridge. Ready to carry me over,Over the quavers, drunk in the bars,Out of the realm of the orchestra | |
