The Lost Legacy of Dead Like Me

[@coolcupcakelove]

Gave this a like before this even started. I LOVED THIS SHOW!! let the legacy live on!!

[@danslesbrasdemorphee4181]

Dead like me and Pushing Daisies were two of my favorite shows ever and they both got cancelled so fast for some reason...

[@queensmum]

I came to the comments to mention pushing daisies too! Should have had one more season to wrap up the story!

[@anniktoukanchery]

2 great show ❤

[@SNSWoTClan]

Don't forget Wonderfalls, which I absolutely love.

[@Oatswain]

I'm so glad you made this video! Dead Like Me was definitely one of the most impactful shows I watched as a teenager. It's such a shame that tv networks seem to always push back against Bryan Fuller. The shows where he has more creative control like Pushing Daisies and Hannibal and the first season of American Gods are all absolute magic. Also Ellen Muth deserves to have a way bigger career.

[@KyleReaume]

YES, these are all my thoughts exactly. And I wanna see more Ellen Muth!!

[@glattmasmas1485]

They need to reboot this show with Ellen Muth as boss. She is beautiful and so talented. Btw she has a new channel guys.

[@sdagoth3037]

It wouldn't be the same without the same writers and actors... but the actors have aged, which is fine for George's family but doesn't make sense for reapers.

[@i.b.640]

Maybe upper Management decided to let them age in this time of cameras everywhere and reboots them when they turn 70.

[@moderusprime]

@@sdagoth3037 You're over thinking it.

[@miasolala8415]

no more reboots please. ever. DLM was a great show back then and it's a great show today.

[@AtomicMama42]

​@sdagoth3037 they mention in the show they have to move every so often so as not to raise suspicion, maybe upper management has allowed for aging just to make things more efficient

[@wanderingseth]

I'm so happy KZbin randomly recommended this video. I forgot how good this show was! Loved all these characters. Thanks for such an enjoyable retrospective ❤

[@kimberleyjanemcnab5343]

Randomly recommended to me also... still miss the reapers 💀🖤

[@mmoriartyy]

Bryan Fuller is such an opinionated and specific creator. His visions are always unique and stylistic detailed and sadly studios never understand it. That's why ultimately he pulled out and his shows collapsed. Still I would rather enjoy a short lived story from his mind than a drawn out cop-out from the studio strong arms. Thank you Bryan for Wonderfalls, Dead Like Me, and Pushing Daisies

[@christheghostwriter]

He seems like a bit of a douche.

[@scottthepoet9040]

those 3 Bryan Fuller shows are my favorites and i own all three on dvd and watch them over and over again

[@sharonoddlyenough]

Wait, what, wow. Thank you for the reminder of shows I loved

[@gv280z]

Pushing Daisies! YES! Sooo good.

[@futurestoryteller]

One of my favorite lesser known stories to convey to people how much a singular creative vision seems to make a difference is Fuller's exit from "Heroes." I'll try my best to truncate it: Fuller, starting as a normal staff writer became executive producer after he wrote the show's best received episode. He would exit after only one season to work on his own show. During Heroes' awful third season they triumphantly announced his return, making very little secret of the fact that they expected his involvement to save the show, and in interviews and press releases he appeared genuinely very excited to come back. His episode aired to great critical success. Basically hailed as a masterpiece (compared to the rest of the season anyway) and a return to form for the show. I say "his episode" because he would immediately exit the show once again, with no clear involvement in any subsequent episode, saying he didn't realize how much the show had changed since he'd left and didn't recognize the characters he loved. With few exceptions the rest of the season (and indeed the show) continued to be as negatively received as ever. It also demonstrates how important it is to really remain true to your characters, and not use them as bumper cars the plot drives on a whim.

[@insertlaughter]

My mom just got me the box set of Dead Like Me. I unwrapped it and beheld the art on the cover with a huge and loging sense of nostalgia. I used to watch it all the time. Any time it was on tv, any time i went to a family friends house and they had it - i would request to watch it. Georges story helped me relate to the world as an angsty teen/young adult. Helping me navigate my absent parents, overbearing stepmother, enstranged siblings, my "biggest" feelings. For a show centered around death, it's enlightening. Always wanted to jump from the Cliffs of Dover

[@Bad_Karma00]

Dead like me is one of my most favorite shows (It's nice to know I wasn't the only fan). I never knew why it was canceled. Your video was really informative. Thank you.

[@KyleReaume]

I'm glad I could help shed some light on the reasons why. Such a shame!

[@SirReptitious]

It was cancelled for one reason only- Showtime HATED that HBO was getting ALL the attention for the sopranos. They were determined to keep coming up with ideas and throwing them at the wall until one stuck as well as the sopranos. They didn't care if they came up with shows that were good and had decent ratings. To them that was a TOTAL failure. It had to get as much attention as the sopranos or it wasn't worth their time.

[@MsBrynnElizabeth]

I’d give anything to have this show back. I LOVED it so much -- shit so much that I’ve had to buy multiple copies of the series on dvd as I’ve worn them out. Nude is in. Nude, is now.

[@Madhatter0275]

Tell Ellen Muth we need more Dead like me. She has a new channel. Go check it out.

[@BlahBlahWoofWoof12]

I love this show so much. It's such an underrated masterpiece that deserved so much more love & respect than it got.

[@paulmuaddib451]

So many people missed this one and I'm always trying to evangelize it to others. Thank you for this vid.

[@JasonMoody34]

This was one of the few shows in my life... to this day.... that I've literally stayed up all night just to watch "one more episode" before work in the morning. It was almost perfect in every way.

[@donniescorner1649]

I love Dead Like Me to this day, It is a shame, it was such a clever and original premise that had so much untapped potential. I think even a reboot with Bryan Fuller at the helm could be good, but it seems like it is mostly dead now. What a shame. Anyone who has seen Dead Like Me and liked it should also check out Bryan Fuller's other show Wonderfalls, which is the closest to the show in spirit.

[@rogerlynch5279]

INTELLIGENT AND SOCIAL SATIRICAL are the watchwords starting with theTraoöer amd following up to the end of each episode. 'All the elements in the shows are a variation to the episodes title in relation to the haed line DEATH. Ellen Muth herself had played George-ia the youngster , stuck between childhood and adult state, to the perfection. Very brave of the makers of the show because this is a topic often totall

[@AuspexAO]

I watched and enjoyed Wonderfalls and can tell you NOTHING about it. Isn't that weird?

[@mistojen]

Also: Pushing Daisies which was amazing and also had a too-soon cancellation

[@matthewdartford9501]

Had a little cry while watching this, honestly, it's one of my favorite shows. I've always thought it just landed at the wrong time and in a parallel world this would have been a massive show that could have run for 7 seasons.

[@Creeggsbnl]

I discovered this show by accident on cable TV in a motel room near Washington DC, although I was only a HS student, I immediately bought both seasons of the show after getting home. Absolutely love, love, love this show, the character development is fantastic, across almost all the characters.

[@donniescorner1649]

Mandy Patinkin and Laura Harris actually were unavailable for the follow-up movie, because they were working on Criminal Minds and Women's Murder Club respectively. Ironically, that was the summer when Mandy Patinkin exited Criminal Minds abruptly due to it weighing heavily on his mental health.

[@CoyoteFitzy]

I adore this show, spent a small fortune having the DVD’s imported when they were hard to get back in the day! It’s become an autumn tradition in this house to have Georgia Lass on our screen towards the end of the season.

[@KyleReaume]

Aw I love that. So many new comments on this vid, it's really making me miss it even more haha 😭💛

[@donniescorner1649]

Same, I had Chinese bootleg DVDs imported that didn't work lol.

[@runawayshay6409]

Omg I bought all the seasons too! I still have them. Won’t let them go.

[@dfhowes]

I absolutely loved this show. When Boom Boom Ba by Métisse started playing at 15:20, a flood of memories came back. My daughter, then in her mid-teens, and I would sit side by side and watch DLM. It was a treasured time spent together for both of us. Then we noticed a change in not only the writing but so many plot holes and unanswered questions - especially in the second season. It was like someone gave the new writers a very, VERY basic outline of DLM and were told, "Now start writing!" without a true sense of what the show was about. Dead Like Me was still watchable but not near as good (but you had to be willing to ignore or overlook the inconsistencies). Then that horrible, HORRIBLE followup movie . . . ugh! I knew there were problems with the writers but couldn't really find out what was going on. Now your explanation cleared things up. As usual, execs don't know enough to leave things alone, especially when things were working. I remember hearing about how Robert Greenblatt, then President of Entertainment for Showtime, got involved and was determined to replace DLM with Fat Actress. I posted on Showtime's site that "I hope Georgia gets a Post It note with Greenblatt's name on it". Then we cancelled Showtime. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Now it's time to dig out my DLM DVDs and do some binge watching.

[@SMtWalkerS]

Love "Dead like Me". Great characters, lots of humor, and it built such a great reaper world. I re-watch it periodically. Georgia Lass and all the character - so funny. My sister and I still tell each other, "Today, I was "Getting Things Done'" Hahahah!

[@jeremyross9698]

This show will always hold a special place in my heart as it helped me process my little sister's death. She was the around the same age as George even. And it's just a really good show. It's been nearly two decades later and it still holds up. I would love to see a see a limited run series with the Dead Like Me premise helmed once again by Fuller and people Fuller trusts taking place all around the world. I mean, death is a part of every culture, but their handling of it is unique across the board. Imagine a collaboration like that. If I could choose five countries to be involved, I'd go with Mexico, Egypt, Japan, Ireland and Canada. And I'd set the American portions in either Wisconsin or Texas. There could even be cameos by the original cast maybe.

[@pe7e]

I remember when the show came out, I was like 13 or 14! I used to stay up every weekend to watch it. I related a lot to George even at the young age. I was disappointed to find out it was cancelled.

[@KyleReaume]

Ahh I would've been around the same age. I wish there was a show like this right now.

[@stcarlosaquino]

I'm in my 5th time marathon of DLM , is so amazing, the script is so rich, at 39 makes more sense to me than ever, I understand more of the dialogue . This and orphan black are my all time favorite

[@SimonKelk]

I've watched the show 3 times over now. Love it, needed at least another series.

[@GreyfoxRaposa]

Dude I loved this show! For a while I thought I had imagined it because nobody would talk or even know about it. Really sad how it ended, it deserved so much better.

[@hezekiahramirez6965]

I love this show so much. I'm glad it's at least getting some love after all these years. I consider it one of the great "what if" stories in TV. What if Bryan Fuller had stayed on and he got to make a five season show or whatever in the way he envisioned it? How much greatness did we miss out on? It's up there with Pushing Daisies, Freaks And Geeks, My So-Called Life, American Gothic, and The Tick in that way

[@lordbyronkeith9488]

This was one of my favorite TV shows but like most of the shows I like it too was sadly ended way before it's time. Thank for this showcasing.

[@waynedollery9946]

Well said. Dead Like me was a favourite. Like so many that I liked back in the day, cancelled before it could fulfill it's potential. It seamed most shows that had some complexity and interesting ideas got canned. It almost felt like me liking a show was a kiss of death. I really had no time for any mainstream shows.

[@AwoogaGamer]

I never watched the show but I always remember being struck by how different of a dynamic it had than other shows of the time period. I'm really glad you shed some light on what happened to the franchise. Perhaps I'll have to check it out eventually. Love your work, thank you!

[@KyleReaume]

Thank YOU BB ILY

[@mariafamilo]

I want to thank you for bringing to light how amazing this show was. And that you didn’t ruin it for anyone. I lived on a small island in Florida and we had a little library system for things the actual library didn’t have. This show passed so many hands at various ages and touched each person for different reasons. I had as the owner of the DVD’s all the notes from these people but was lost due to hurricane Charlie. The note I can still see in my mind was from a 93 yr old woman that said and I quote “ I wish I could do that. We all forget everything all the time. I hope I can do that so I can help people remember what life is really about.” Sincerely Maria Familo I signed for mgm to renew but yea we got that “movie” all involved want to forget. This show was on a high. It could’ve gone some where. But alas here we are Just like “My so called life” that could’ve been amazing too

[@kiadauwofem5737]

We watched Dead Like Me from day one, and continue to watch it every year right around Halloween.

[@KalCounty]

I discovered the show as a disaffected, chronically depressed 19yo and I identified so hard with George. She was my favourite tv character for years cause her character spoke so much to the negativity I was feeling at the time, but she was also a multidimensional character you could root for. I used to imagine myself as part of the reaper team, getting to leave my bland, depressing life behind and be immortal. It'll always be one of my favourite shows for helping me feel validated at a rough time and giving me hope that I could make a life out of even the shittiest of circumstances.

[@literaterose6731]

Love love LOVE this show (and love Boom Boom Ba & Métisse as a result), rewatch on the regular. In fact, recently introduced my teen granddaughter to it and she loved it too! I never understood the lack of popularity for it… but I have a history of loving media that didn’t hit the popularity mark and were reaped too soon, despite their quality. The episodes “Nighthawks” from season 1 and (of course!) “Haunted” from season 2 both blew my mind and are probably the ones I’ve rewatched most if I’m not doing a full binge. If any older show has the perfect structure for a reboot, it’s DLM. It’s been refreshing here in my elder years to occasionally fall in love with some excellent media property *and* see it get the kind of support that allows it to continue-most notably for me Our Flag Means Death, a show that in a different time wouldn’t have had a chance.

[@mistywomac9395]

This was amazing. I saw this show live too, and I have loved it over the years with all my soul, and you said everything that I had thought at different times. I've been watching it lately every chance I get to watch a show, and this had a lot of information I had never known. Thank you! This was the best 16 minutes of my day by far!!

[@BalancedEarth]

I loved watching the first season of Pushing Daisies when it first came out. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to have seen that show cause it led me to Dead Like Me. I remember finding out about it after reading up on the creator. I was hooked after the first episode! I really enjoyed the show when I was young. I need to go back and watch it again. I wish more people knew about it! but I'm glad to see more recent coverage on it! Wasn't expecting to see this in my recommended at all after so long! I'm glad to be a part of the discussion of this cult classic 😊

[@loki1456]

Omg, THANK YOU for making this! Dead Like Me is one of my all time favorite shows. I adored the characters and it made me think about death in a rather comforting way. I will never forgive Showtime for canceling it 😤

I'm so glad you found my video. I love this series so much and it feels SO rewarding to see fellow DLM fans finding it.

[@loki1456]

Dead Like Me gave me an adoration of stories about grim reapers, of which there are only a handful. I recently read Croak by Gina Damico and it has a similar humor to Dead Like Me.

[@rick_terscale1111]

I loved Rebecca Gayheart. She made the phrase "think happy thoughts" a catch phrase. Loved her in other movies too.

[@tylerbrunton7696]

I mentioned Dolores Herbig just the other day, what a memorable show. When this came out on DVD I remember it had a brief surge of popularity. Having both seasons, I found that almost everyone who visited my home pointed them out.

[@Educatingben]

I fell madly in love with the show and followed it for two seasons. Then one day I turn on the TV and see a commercial for a crime show starring Mandy Patinkin and I knew That Dead Like Me was canceled. Such a smart well written show could never stay on television. I bought both seasons on DVD and watch them periodically. Every episode is a great show. The show is well cast and well put together. Ellen Muth is priceless as always. Such a great show. PS. I named my dog George after Georgia from Dead Like Me. If not for the show Dead Like Me, I wouldn't have discovered Matisse and Boom Boom Ba..

Loved this show and every word you said in your beautiful tribute. A few weeks ago I started watching some favourite episodes after a long hiatus and its so refreshing.Also signed some online petitions in 2004 and used to check all fandom forums ( not many really) I just realized this show is now the age of Georgia and we should all celebrate.

[@roblockrem4561]

I have to agree with all this. I loved this show for it's short lived run. Like others I regularly do binge watches and watch both seasons and then the movie. I wish it would come back and I wonder if George would end up running this crew of reapers. The end of the movie seemed to imply that that was a likely possibilty, her standing there with all the post it notes raining on her.

Thank you for this. It's hard to find anyone who remembers this show at all, much less actually appreciates it for what it was.

[@elizabethrios7759]

Ya so just watched the movie and what he said was accurate. And it warms my heart. That he pointed out Hollywood's thinking about women in T.V. *** he knew how to cast great female actors ****! That's 4 sure... ! We're not all pretty in life. So a show about life and death needs to cast normal looking people in order to connect with the public!!. My personal opinion. !

i missed the original airing but this became one of my all-time favorites. i purchaseed the series online & have viewed it completely several times.

[@dianewien683]

A coworker introduced "Dead Like Me" by making me promise I would watch the video. I loved it immediately! With Mandy Patinkin as one of actors I couldn't resist watching it. I fell in love with the characters and binge-watched the whole thing. I then bought the videos for myself. I still can't see the word "moist" without snickering. It's how I feel about "Strangers With Candy". I miss it so I'll binge-watch it and then let it rest. George took some getting used to, I must admit. I wanted her to find her way and she seemed so lost for so long. I did sympathize with her. Her family was blah and unforgiving. Thanks for reminding us of this incredible show!

[@URnickel_MY2cents]

I agree, I happened to like and understand Ellen Muth's character. Thanks for reminding me about this show, I think that I will need to see it again ! It was very sad that it had such a limited run, but doubt that it could ever be resurrected. I don't believe that it would ever be the same.

[@That_AMC_Guy]

It was such a great show. It's almost criminal how everything played out. I remember being over-joyed to learn it was renewed for a second season. But watching the second season it felt like something was completely off. So, I hoped they'd clean things up during the third season and.... nothing. Had to resort to the internet to learn that the series had been cancelled before I'd even began watching season 1!!! Turns out, the show didn't appear on Canadian television until AFTER the second season had already been filmed, broadcast to the US and cancelled. I was furious. Not only did I feel slighted because through all of this, Showcase or Showtime kept advertising the show as "New" and "award-winning" so I was under the impression it was doing fine. But then to learn it had been cancelled before I even watched the pilot? Grr. I honestly don't think I've ever watched another episode (even reruns) because of how things played out. And yet, I remember so many laugh-out-loud moments.... the dark humor of the show was the best! I don't think it could be reboot today. It's one of those shows that was lightning in a bottle - to be able to replicate what they had is simply impossible.

I've seen this show a couple times. Was sorry to see Mandy go. Great show. Executives often screw things up cause they don't know what drives it. Mandy Patinkin puts a lot of heart into his roles, so I could see where he was unable to go with the continuation.

Wonderful narrative on one of my favorite shows of all time! I was so excited once I heard your opinions about the show and agree with you 100%! It's a shame so many haven't heard of or experienced Dead Like Me.

You hit the nail on the head on this one. I really liked this show despite it not really being the type of program I watch.

I remember seeing this on Showtime and loving it. I was very drawn to George and Reggie's relationship, as it really kinda reminded me of my sister and I. George was a lot like me, and it is always comforting to see yourself in stuff on TV. I've stood in the spot the toilet seat scene takes place in 😊 I love this show, I'm glad that I watched this. Thank you for taking the time to highlight such an underrated gem!! I also have both seasons on DVD. I didn't get the movie on DVD, & often tell interested friends to skip it. It only really opens up a can of worms, and doesn't put any of my questions to bed. I also love "Boom Boom Ba", very catchy, and a touching add to the overall excellent music pairing of the show. We do learn a little of Rube's backstory, but not as much as any of the other characters. I hope your video inspires more people to dig this one up ❤

I loved this series, I'm glad someone is bringing it back up

[@darrenosborne8252]

I love this show. When I'm extremely depressed and when I'm grieving I still watch this show. It helps me soo much in healing. I would love a reboot/spinoff even if it had no original characters, a new story about a team of Reapers. This show would have lasted if it was advertised properly.

Love this show, and it introduced me to two Métisse tracks as well... Not to mention it has Mandy Patinkin

I don't know why this video from 2 years ago showed on my home page today, but I clicked so fast. One of my favorite shows ever.

I love this show so much. It had so much heart. I'm not sure I can pick a favorite character. They were all great in their own way.

I just binge watched both seasons and the movie, this was a truly underrated show........

[@KyleReaume]

I knoooow I kinds can't get over it lol

Dead like me's intro always gives me such nostalgia. I remember watching it at age 11 in awe! Around the same time I discovered the Degrassi where Marco was main cast. Love love love!!!

This was one of my favorite shows. And everything you said i totally agreed with. It was definitely before its time!

[@michaelnewell8817]

One of my favorite shows that I have seen in my 57 years. Well done!

[@snakesnoteyes]

DLM was so good, more people need to watch it. It’s still one of my favorite shows of all time.

This show came at such a formative time in my life and I honestly connected more with George than any other teenage character in television at the time. It is a shame that Bryan Fuller’s early works got the red-headed step-child treatment. Pushing Daisies was another beloved short lived show!

[@jensenbell]

Nice. I adore this show. It's on Amazon Prime and I go back every year and watch it all. I especially love season 1. All the Fuller stuff gets under my skin and never leaves me. He really understands conflict and archetype. I love the music, I love the insane situations.. .but yes, I especially love George. I feel those teenage feelings. And I am so shocked by the cold, vindictive uncaring side of Joy... and yet laugh so hard that Bryan named her "Joy."... hahaha. Reggie's pain, really gets to me. The one thing I loved about the 2009 movie was getting some closure and love between sisters. I needed that. But.. I don't rewatch the movie like I do the TV show. With every rewatch I discover something new in season 1.. and I get more and more concerned for the wellbeing and tips for Kiffany. I'm staunchly team Kiffany.

I feel sooo lucky to have watched this show and recently this year finally watched Bryan Fuller's other show Pushing Daisies. Still need to watch Hannibal though.

[@TheBenSanders]

Also, Mason is my favorite character.

[@NOONENOWHY1]

Excellent work opening the treasure chest of this show, and it still doesn’t reach yet, into the profound depths it holds.

[@stillred]

OMG! I remember this series! It's been a while since I've headr of it, it was definitely one of my favorites back when it aired! How could I forget it!! Thank you for reminding me😊
