Dead Like Me

melissa_craver shared a tip "You know you’re in for an interesting ride when the beginning of a show starts with your main character walking out of an office building after a bad interview and she is struck by a flaming toilet seat from space and is ultimately killed. It’s a funny, poignant show about grief and longing, wasted opportunities/regrets experienced by the living and the dead and did I mention that Mandy Patinkin stars in this? He’s the death guide."

explodingtardis10 shared a tip "George Lass is stepping out of an interview for a temp job that went very badly when she's struck dead by a rogue toilet from space. Mandy Patinkin stares as her new guide to being a reaper. George and a chosen few are given times throughout the day in which people will die. They're not to interfere or question it. And George? She still has to get a job like a normal LIVING person. This show, as are all of the shows created by Bryan Fuller, is hilarious in its black comedy."

julie_west_1706 shared a tip "I loved how sparky it was. Would have loved to have seen a third season because I had a lot of questions on things that were happening. Hate how it was canceled."

ellen_spencer shared a tip "This was a great show to watch, different then most, but with a sense of humor, sympathy and some weird ways to die! I wish they never cancelled it!! Watch it you’ll like it!!"

jason_rush shared a tip "This show was canceled way before it's time. There was little or no advertising on it when it was new. By the time it caught on it was to late it was already canceled. It was so good the fans outcries were so big they made a movie. The move did not do the show any justice it was just pale in comparison to the show. The show had some deep messages in it and was funny and very moving in parts. I would highly recommend watching it if you can find it."

heather_dillon_194 shared a tip "I had a gorgeous, crazy, sweet, black cat named Reggie who passed away of cancer. I now have a gorgeous, crazy, sweet, grey cat named Georgia. You could say that I like this show. It's funny, it's sweet, it's sad - it's a great show."

kate_kremble shared a tip "Such a great show and holds up pretty well since it was made in 2003. Great characters, and has Mandy Patinkin in it- so you know its going to be good."

michelle_alcido shared a tip "I love the entire first season! The second is great too, but definitely not as good imo. The episode where Betty makes the jump is excellent. Do you have a favorite?"

merturtle shared a tip "This show is amazing and could easily be brought back. It has a quirky take on death that both takes the topic seriously and has fun with it."

shannon_9 shared a tip "Started watching this for background noise at work and while doing homework, chores, etc. It soon became my main focus. The idea behind then show is pretty unique (or at least it's the first show I've seen exploring grim reapers in this manner). George is frustrating at times, but I like it because she's only 18 and at a point in her afterlife where she questions everything. Not exactly a family show, so be mindful if you have younger children."

julee_7543 shared a tip "Kind of dark funny. Was obsessed with this show when I diacovered it. My husband and I could not get enough of it. Trigger Alert: It is about death, dying and regrets. Viewer beware."

dakota_wells_1384 shared a tip "I loved dead like me. It is one of my favorite shows but it got canceled so the show ends without much of a resolution. There is a movie to kind of wrap things up but it's definitely not as good as the show. Personally I definitely think it's worth a watch. #deadlikeme"
