"Dead Like Me" was an AWESOME show that originally aired on the Showtime network. It ran for two years and starred Mandy Patinkin, Jasmine Guy and Ellen Muth. Ellen Muth played Georgia Lass ("George"), who was killed by a falling satellite not long after turning 18. She was returned to life to be a "reaper", someone who would take the soul of a person who was just about to die and help them cross over. Ellen was today's typical teenager--snarky, funny, occasionally lazy with a questionable work ethic, but with a good heart. For reasons known only to Showtime (budget issues I'm sure), DLM was cancelled after only two seasons. A real shame because DLM had a great emsemble cast, and there was real growth in all of the characters, and the writing was smart and sharp. But at least we weren't left with a cliffhanger ending as so many of the other shows on this blog have.
While I have been unable to discover what would have been for season 3 (though I'm still searching), I do know that the show has just started running again on the Sci-Fi network on Tuesday nights (I believe the premiere was 7/18).
