Resurrecting the "Dead"
The bittersweet part of falling in love with a television show is having to grapple with those shitty feelings you get in your stomach when it comes to an end.
The worst part about falling in love with a television show is having to grapple with those shitty feelings you get in your stomach when it dies an early death for no apparent reason other than the fact that some schmuck thought it would be good for the network and murders it in cold blood.
Yeah, I'm talking to you, new president of entertainment at Showtime, Robert Greenblatt!
I hope canceling “Dead Like Me” will haunt you forever. I hope one day you’ll be forced to watch nothing but reruns of “Fat Actress” and “Huff” while eating Spam smothered with maggot spread. That’s how hard you blow.
Yeah, you and your fellow Viacom a-holes at UPN, who thought that it would be a good idea to cancel “Veronica Mars.” (But at least they gave us a chance to save the show.) You just let it go without renewing it and therefore, suck ass.
With that said, the second (and last) season of “Dead Like Me” is being released on DVD tomorrow. If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll understand. If you’ve never seen the show, you should go out and get it. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. I will even come to your house to watch it with you. You provide the dark chocolate and I’ll provide the spoons. It also helps if you're hot.

"Excuse me, ma'am, is everyone in line here an asshole?... No? So it's just you, then."
"How about a hot cup of shut the fuck up?"
"The universe was about to cock the fuck-with-me gun."
No show that produced these lines should have been cancelled in ten years, let alone two. Eti, we should steal a public toilet seat in its honor.
Except that would be gross so let's not really do it.
DLM was one of my favorite shows, loved it. One of the all time worst cancling decisions. All that said .. WHERE THE HELL IS YOUR PODCAST? You ever puting up a new one? Come on ... Geez.
