Good call. Cancel a show that was some of the best writing, directing and acting that I have seen in a long time. This show could have you laughing, crying and then laughing again in a span of five minutes. I really wish some other channel would pick this excellent series up.
Akaran of Mistmoore, formerly Akaran of Veeshan I know I'm good at what I do, but I know I'm not the best.
But I guess that on the other hand, I could be like the rest.
just rented the pilot episode form the video store and loved it so much i went out and got the whole set. i am watching it right now and am half way through the third disk and i'm pissed there's only four disks.
My goal is to live forever. So far so good.

The CNN article was in regards to a (then) rumor that Dead Like Me was about to be cancelled by Showtime. Showtime did indeed cancel the show, for now apparent good reason, and now there is word that WB is showing strong interest in picking up an obviously watered down version of the show for the WB network.

You tell me. If it goes from Showtime to The WB, episodes will be shorter (to fit into the typical, commercial laden 1 hour prime time spot), will have to play by broadcast TV rules for decency and will have to produce far more episodes per year (a network TV series would require double the number of episodes, which could, and probably would, affect the show's quality). That doesn't seem like an ideal scenario to get even edgier, now does it?

Someone does subscribe to HBO. I didn't say that HBO's programming was bad, just that I prefer Showtime's. HBO clearly has more original series, but it seems to me that Showtime makes up for quantity with quality.

Well, at least it'd give me something to watch on the WB aside from Charmed.

MGM released a direct to video DLM movie last week. I haven't watched it yet, but we're planning to this evening. Most of the main characters / actors are back for this movie, but Rube (Mandy Patinkin) is not. I've seen some bad reviews from fans of the series, so my expectations are low. Anyone seen it yet?

I thought the movie was well done, but gave about as much closure as the series did in my opinion, so possibly another one will come to follow? It is a lot like what you would expect of it, just 5 years after where it left off.

I was really looking forward to the next season.
