I've always wanted to see the show, but I don't have showtime. If it's good as you guys say, I might have to download an episode or two.

There may be stylistic similarlities, but I don't really see that the two shows have any
storyline content in common.

Anyhow, Dead Like Me is fabulous. Unfortunately,I can't afford cable anymore, so I'm going to miss the new season, dammit.

that's not a good thing at all. I guess you will have to get another way of getting them then. So you think Showtime will sell it to the terrestrial TV?

seriously you should. I suggest A cook (ep.8) or Dead Girl Walking(ep.2)only if you can't get the pilot - I have been trying for ages

Did Bryan Fuller leave the show (because of creative disagreements with showtime) or am I mistaken. I don't have showtime anymore, (had to choose HBO) so I have not seen any of the eps.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I dont know what happened, all I know is that wonderfalls got cancelled and dead like me is carrying on. I'm assuming that it was the networks decision to do the deed - as they were still fans of it

I love love love this show! I downloaded the whole season on bt a little while a go...loooove it. the pilot blew me away, and i was like need more, and i wasn't gonna hold my breath for the australian networks to get. i can't even think of what my favourite episodes were...probably the finale, but really, i loved them all. the best aspect of the show was how they mixed in all the humour, but still held on to the serious underlying message. really quite profound at times.

we love this show!! just recently rewatched the whole first season on showtime on demand. missed a few the first time around. usually cry a least once through every ep.
we also watched deadwood which just finished it's first season. it took awhile to get into but was great in the end.
and have started watching dead zone. watched a few last season and kept missing them. but now with the dvr, we are going to try it again. seen 2 shows and not sure yet.
what's with all the 'dead' shows?

I'm hoping that they are going to be reshowing season 1 on Sky One otherwise I don't know what I'm going to do if I can't afford the DVD I know what you mean with that sort of sadness - the episodes are written so well you feel like you are there

Deadwood as far as I know isn't been shown here in the UK and I keep missing The Dead Zone :(

I don't know what it is about 'dead' shows but I think it is just a trend that hasn't really been touched on within TV - so they are just capitalising on it - I mean I could be really cynical and say that Buffy started all that off

It helps that Dead Like Me is on a pay channel. They don't have to worry about advertisers and the money generated from ad sales.
