After hearing rave reviews about this show, I looked for clips on youtube. I was drawn in by George's pessimism and sullen attitude. I immediately went out to my local Target and bought season 1 on dvd. Over the past 3 months I've been watching the episodes one week at a time. They sort of helped fill the void that Desperate Housewives left during the writer's strike this past tv season.

Anywho, so, I finished watching the final...

I think I disagree -- Daisy ended up being such a better character. Becca was too perkey all the time. She was the end result, the reaper who was ready to move on. Even George is probably farther "along" than Daisy.

I hated Daisy at first but she really grew on me during the second season.

I still always wondered why Rebecca Gayheart was only on the show for such a short time, was there a reason for this?

I agree that Daisy was a poor replacement for Rebecca Gayheart's character.

I wonder if Reggie is destined to be a Reaper. I think if the series progressed more would have been done with Crystal. My son thinks she is another Reaper supervisor, maybe even Rube's secret supervisor. I love the kid Reaper. I really wish the series could have lasted one more season. I think the episode with Joy on a date was showing that she was opening up emotionally and doing something she wanted. Love this show.

Laura Harris is an amazing actress, first of all.

Second, Betty's character may have been interesting, but it wasn't even remotely as complex, interesting, and layered as Daisy. There's absolutely no argument that could be made for that. Betty loved to jump off of things and her complexity was developed in one episode, the one she left in.

Daisy, on the other hand, developed gradually and exploded in the second season with her need for love, her insecurity,...

I liked this show but there were a few quirks keeping it from being as strong as Daisies or Wonderfalls. The first being Rebecca Gayheart leaving. They substituted her with a character about half as interesting and half as great an actress and it felt like such an abrupt ending for RG's character. Also, the tone seemed to shift a bit, not sure how but things seemed off and the show never quite recovered (not coincidentally, this is around the same time that Bryan Fuller up and left). The...

They've been reairing some of the episodes on the CW.

Anyways the movie was suppose to come out this summer but I read that it was pushed back to early 2009? Anyone else heard anything?

I've read that on more than one Dead Like Me fansite. But, I also questioned the validity considering she either did the pilot and immediately decided against it, (thus being written out early season 1), or that was how it was going to be from moment one. We could always ask Ellen Muth. She's responsive to fans.

or option C, where she asked for more money/was a prima donna/ generally hated and was kicked/written off the show

For me the best thing about this show was that they didn't shy away from their somewhat brutal rules. These were people who didn't appreciate their lives when they had them, and now have to learn/make up for that as they painfully let go of their lives. George in particular often paid the price for not learning as fast as she could. No one really ever got away with anything (remember Daisy's boyfriend?).

I don't think that is correct as the accident happened in June 2001, whereas Dead Like Me was shot in 2003.

Mandy Patankin was awsome in the part but he must become bored or something after the first few years on a series and always skips out.

Darn those Broadway stars and their short attention spans.

They never clarify what exactly happens to Betty. My assumption is that she "moves on" like any of the souls.

I just found this show this weekend and ended up watching the entire series -- awesome!!! Question, does anyone know what ever happened to Betty and, relatedly, why that actress decided to leave the show so early? I liked her a lot better than Daisy.

I think Henry Ian Cusick will be great as the new head reaper. Excellant choice! I can't wait. Mandy Patankin was awsome in the part but he must become bored or something after the first few years on a series and always skips out. He was on Chicago Hope and wanted off before most of the cast so he ended up doing guest appearances, then Dead Like Me, and Criminal Minds. I get the feeling he doesn't like Television very much.. I hate when they put him as a lead because you know hes not...

Bump to show <3 for Callum Blue.

He did a movie in 2007 called 'Young People Fucking' - seriously, I love Callum Blue!

Oh, my god. I am ecstatic. Dead Like Me, the much loved and prematurely canceled dramedy created by brilliant writer Brian Fuller (Now finally being recognized for his work with the lovable and quirky Pushing Daisies), is getting resurrected (pun totally intended.)

Apparently, a movie is filming according to IMDB sources. A few upsetting things. Rube's character is being replaced by...DESMOND, from Lost. Weird. Also...Daisy's...
