I enjoyed this series and have it on DVD.

Here's an example of one of the lighter moments. Smile Lots more on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=dead+like+me).

Love Dead Like Me. It's one of my top 5 favorite TV shows ever. I was bummed it got cancelled.

It's too bad that the 2009 movie fumbled the ball like it did - uneven storytelling, no Laura Harris or Mandy Patinkin, Vancouver swapped out for Montreal, etc.

Loved that show, really wanted more.
I got hooked on it after watching just ONE episode while stuck in a hotel.




I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm.

Agreed, the movie was less than stellar to say the least.

And FWIW here are the only TV series I liked enough to acquire DVD sets for thusfar:
--Dead Like Me
--Justified
--Firefly
--Farscape
--The Prisoner

Dead Like Me was a fun show. I was disappointed when it ended but never saw the follow-up movie. After reading a few reviews and the comments here, I’m glad I missed it.

I feel like Justified would have lasted longer if they had taken every other season off from the whole over-arching family, etc.

Season 2 with Mags was great, but they should have gone back to villain of the week for another season.

I love these outtakes, especially since they didn't include them on the DVD sets. What the heck?

Part 1



Part 2




It was very cool to see Ellen Muth pop up playing another Georgia on Bryan Fuller's other excellent TV series Hannibal. I can't believe they could show that on network TV!

On a slightly related note, I wish I could find my own real version of "Der Waffle Haus." As a night owl, I'd love a 24-hour dark restaurant to chill at in the DEAD of night and have some bacon extra extra extra crispy. Amphora Diner in Herndon VA comes pretty close, but it's on the opposite coast from where I live.

The movie is also on YouTube in 9 minute segments that will auto-load seamlessly automatically.
