For those who haven't seen it, it's about a surly dispondant 18 year old called George Lass who is killed by the MIR space station toilet seat and the life that she leads after as a grim reaper.

This is one of the funniest shows about, second season will be due to start soon in the states.

With cast like Mandy Pantikin as Rube, Laura Harris as Daisy Adair, Jasmine Guy as Roxie and Callum Blue as the enigmatic Mason.

The creator of the show is the Bryan Fuller and in the very last episode there is Jewel Staite playing a goth girl.

its not one of the best reviews but at least you get the basic gist

Couldnt agree more Moonfire, this show is hilarious ! Looking for something to cure my Buffy/Angel/Firefly withdrawal symptons I risked buying the DVD set on Amazon after reading the good reviews. I'm glad I did !!!!
Seen the first 3 episodes so far, watching the rest an episode every few days. Heard they might bring out Wonderfalls on DVD soon, havent seen that either but I'll get the set when it comes.
Shows like these are a stark contrast to the drivel we get on tv nowadays, especially here in Australia where some of the highest rating shows are Big Brother and embarrassing local pathetic police soapies that include terrorist plots just to get ratings.

Totally agree with you about the state of TV these days - Iam so glad that there are talented people like Joss and Rockne .S. O'Bannon (Farscape) ....as a side thing there is going to be a couple of TV movies of Farscape - so I have heard anyway

I'm posting this here a) because the lovely Jewel Staite was in Dead like me and b) because you can share my pain and rally when you here that a favourite show of yours had been cancelled, I know I went and bought the DVD and put my name to eveything that as going, when I heard about Firefly. I know I have only posted here very sporadically here, but I need the lovely people of this forum to sign a petition to make sure see that Dead like me will be renewed for a third season. I am really passionate about this show just as I am for Firefly and I would really appreciate your help

Thank you for this. Are they really planning on canceling it or is this a safty petition in case they might cancel it? They better not cancel it. It's the only show they HAVEN'T canceled of mine. Seriously. I only watch TV a little. Just when Dead Like Me is on and the re-runs of Two Guys and a Girl. Otherwise, I'm stuck to DVDs. I LOVE Dead Like Me. The writing is so good. I guess you can kind of blame me if this show gets canceled. I have a curse. If I like a show, it gets canceled. Just look at Firefly. This would be like the 20th show of mine they cancel. *whimper*

well I would like to say it is for caution but it isn't :( SerenityValley - they pulled the rug from under us as fans so as you may understand everyone is in shock and disappointment but we need to show that fans also have the right to have their say and to be heard.

so everybody please sign.

Bomba, can you do me a favour and edit out that URL in the quote of the original posting? It's fouling up the formatting of the page. Ta

Sky are broadcasting it in the UK. Broadband and Usenet are your friends if you're domiciled in the UK; less than 1 UKP per day, available in most locations. Without a TV, that's how I get the BBC too

One of the things I like about FFF.net is the way no-one is so stupid that they think it's cool to put banners in posts. Oh well, that used to true.

Ok, well as far as I am concerned "dead like me" is more than "I like that show", it's more like I am passionatly in love with this show. It rivals Firefly. That's my story and Im sticking to it. So please, even if you haven't watched the show before, or even heard of it, don't let it turn into another Firefly and sign the petition for the good of all. And unless I'm crazy I heard Six Feet Under would be cancelled after this last season.
