The Resume

    (June 27, 2003-October 31, 2004)
    Showtime TV series
    Premise: dark comedy about how some people after their deaths remain on Earth to reap or harvest the souls of other people shortly before their deaths
    If they do reap (by touching them shortly before their death) a person's soul that person goes straight to the afterlife, if not they remain as ghosts
    Starred Ellen Muth as Georgia 'George' Lass, with Callum Blue as Mason, Jasmine Guy as Roxy, Mandy Patinkin as Rube, Cynthia Stevenson as Joy Lass, Christine Willes as Delores Herbig, Laura Harris as Daisy Adair and Britt McKillip as Reggie Lass

Why Dead Like Me might be annoying:

    The star, Ellen Muth's character, was killed when she was hit by the Mir space station's toilet seat when it crashed to Earth.
    What teenage girl would want to be called George?
    There was a considerable drop off in quality and change of tone between seasons one and two.
    It was canceled after season two without a final episode to wrap things up. This led to a poorly done cable TV movie to do so five years later in 2009.
    There was never any explanation of why there were reapers or why they had eat, drink, sleep, etc., if they were already dead.
    A considerable hostility to religion was evident.
    The profanity was non-stop.
    It never won an award of any type.

Why Dead Like Me might not be annoying:

    It was certainly an original idea!
    The cast was awesome.
    The writing was very clever and at times hilarious.
    It had a cool opening sequence.
    Stewart Copeland did the theme music.
    Its last episode was broadcast on Halloween.
