AMEN! I am so sick of this happening.The sad thing is when I heard this it didn't shock me,because it seems to be happening a lot lately.Please stop watching ANY reality tv,because as long as that is what is on thats all they will keep giving us. Now showtime has cancelled 2 great shows--first Odyssey 5 and now dead like me.As George(Ellen Muth) would say----"aw fuck."

Hmm, according to SciFi Channel's SciFi Wire:

Quote:

Despite reports of its demise, Showtime's supernatural series Dead LIke Me may still have a little life left in it, according to a report by TV Guide Online's Michael Ausiello. MGM's television president, Hank Cohen, told Ausiello: "We are exploring every opportunity and option that we have available to us. It's a terrific show, and, contrary to what [Showtime president Robert Greenblatt] told Variety [on Dec. 21], our producers don't feel like we've even begun to explore all of the Reaper opportunities that we have."

Cohen added, "We have a very, very loyal fan base, and I'm going to do everything I can for these fans to make sure the show lives on. The irony of all this is that Dead Like Me is a metaphor for second chances, and we're hopefully going to find one."

Cohen told TV Guide that a final decision will be made within 45 days.

The Hollywood Reporter, citing anonymous sources, earlier reported that the show was being canceled after two seasons.



Perhaps there's still hope!

I feel for you JennyPirate - I too am a big Firefly fan - it's a good job that there is DVD's so we can watch them time and again and not need a TV schedule

but everyone can help by sending postal mail to the bosses - to get the addresses just pop to www.deadlikemeonline.com. all you need to do is send a purple post-it with save Dead like me on it - so that won't take too much of your time

I really appreciate all your help as do all of the other veiwers too :)

I'm starting to get used to the idea that I like shows which are out of the mainstream and therefore, are going to get the scythe after a short run. I just hope that people continue to make them so that I have something to watch sometimes.
