DEAD LIKE ME ran on Showtime a couple of years ago, and I totally LOVED it then. In fact, when ADJ came out, and I was telling my fiance about it, I kept referring to it as 'the Dead Like Me book.' Not purposely, of course, but if you watch it from the beginning, when the protagonist (isn't her name Charlie?) gets hit by the toilet that fell out of the exploding space station, thus becoming a reaper, you see that the over-the-top humor and incredibly articulate vehemence is truly there. Just....TV, not book.
It's cool that DEAD is getting a new lease on life on SciFi now. It's all great! Feed my head! _________________ Fled is that music - do I wake, or sleep?

Yeqh, that's Mandy Patinkin. Oh, and 'George,' of course! What a great deadpan she is. I am really surprised that the actress hasn't already popped up somewhere very high-profile. I never missed an ep of DEAD LIKE ME during its run on Showtime, but Showtime's series don't always get the attention they should.
Anyway, it's a well-realized Reaper story. What are the darkling-things called? The....starts with a 'g'....gravelings? Damn, they're important, too. _________________ Fled is that music - do I wake, or sleep?

Eric McCormack is GREAT when he lurks, smirks, and quirks. That was incredible. I think the woman who played Daisy was brillliant understated, too, and her lines about how she died, under the craft table at GWTW, thinking it was Clark Gable...all the stuff she says with that straightfaced innocence...really enjoyable. The Brit (if he even really WAS a Brit) was fun too.
Hard to imagine how a show like HEROES can get so much freaking attention, and something like DLM just flew under the radar until it died out. Injustice. _________________ Fled is that music - do I wake, or sleep?
