That’s for sure. Well, first things first. Dead Like Me is a tele­vi­sion comedy-drama set in Seat­tle. The show is about an 18-year-old girl called Geor­gia “George” Lass who hap­pens to be the nar­ra­tor too. She dies early in the pilot episode and leaves a whole mess behind. Although she died, she’s not dead yet because she’s des­tined to become a Grim Reaper. These reapers are the min­ions of Death and their job is to col­lect the souls of peo­ple who are about to die. In short, Grim Reapers are the ones who reap souls and escort them to the after­life. The show mainly explores the lives and expe­ri­ences of a small team of reapers and takes a look at the changes in Georgia’s fam­ily after her sud­den death.

The team of reapers is led by Rube, who gets the list of who is to die. He assigns those unfor­tu­nates to his “squad”, by writ­ing the first ini­tial and last name, the loca­tion, and the esti­mated time of death (ETD) on a Post-it note. Then there are Mason, Roxy, and Betty who is soon replaced by Daisy. But you can check them out over at the offi­cial site. Unfor­tu­nately, there are only two sea­sons out there because the show was – just like FarScape – unjustly can­celed. Just recently I did a search on the show and I came up with some­thing interesting.

On April 17th, MGM announced that they embark on aggres­sive home enter­tain­ment pro­duc­tion strat­egy mean­ing that they will pro­duce lots of direct-to-DVD movies and sequels. The announce­ment states that there will be a movie and accord­ing to Ellen Muth all of the orig­i­nal cast is to return for the movie. I like the dark com­edy and the twisted look it takes at life. Hope­fully, they will bring the series back even­tu­ally. I’d really like to see the movie as the first step in that direc­tion. For once, they could make my dream come true.
