About DEAD LIKE ME & Episode Guides

Only she knows when your time is up

Dead Like Me Aired From June 27, 2003 - October 31, 2004 On Showtime.



the plot:
18-year-old George Lass dies when a toilet from the MIR space station falls from the sky and hits her. However, soon she discovers that afterlife really does exist... she becomes a reaper - she helps in catching the souls of people moments before they're destined to die. Then she meets a group of reapers who collect people's souls. The main reaper is Rube, who is always playing smart, Roxy, a reaper with an attitude, Mason, a confused and funny reaper and Daisy (Laura Harris), a beautiful reaper full of mysteries. The other characters include George's family - mother Joy (Cynthia Stevenson), father Clancy and sister Reggie, who each have their own way to deal with George's death.

Now that she has a new life, George will try to deal with her new job as a reaper and the fact that she is dead. While learning some important lessons, George gets a job at Happy Days, a office leaded by Delores Herbig, a funny woman who is always optimistic and tries to be everybody's friend while leading a perfect life. The other recurring characters include Crystal, a Happy Days secretary that does not talk way too much and Der Waffle House's waitress Kiffany. The only bad move was Rebecca Gayheart's removal from the show. Apparently, she was unable to renew her contract so her character was sadly written out of the show.

why should I watch this show?
Dead Like Me was a success (creatively as well as ratings wise) on Showtime, however, the show got cancelled after two seasons. Dead Like Me also was nominated for two Emmys, including Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series in 2004. Dead Like Me is very similar to two other Bryan Fuller shows, them being Pushing Daisies and Wonderfalls.
