Pretend that we're dead

One of my favorite Christmas presents was season 1 of "Dead Like Me" on DVD - it's only one of the best shows on television!

of course, my joy at receiving this was tempered by the fact that 4 days earlier, Showtime had announced DLM's cancellation - bastards - so be a geek like me and sign the petition to keep the show around (do it, now, I'll wait - if you do it, I'll be your best friend... not sure if that's a promise or a threat - if you haven't seen the show, I've got them on DVD now, come over and watch, we'll have a "Dead" marathon, I'll make popcorn and we can drink wine coolers or something, it will be great, really, call me, k?)

  • Ooo, count me in! I'm a sucker for wine coolers and TV show marathons. Trust me- we do Gilmore Girls up over here with plenty of junk food and booze.

  • Will you put lots and lots of butter on that popcorn?

  • Normally, I'd let this go. Networks have been cancelling good shows for decades now.

    But, not only is "Dead Like Me" the most captivating, best written, non-reality show on television, but its actually been getting better with every episode. Better, I say! The Mason character was slowly climbing the ladder into the higher echelons of immortal sidekick characters, a la Kramer or Fonzie. That show had infinite potential. In. Fin. It.

    This... is an atrocity. Congressmen will be written to.

  • I just got off the phone with my cable company. Showtime has been cancelled. I'm not fucking with these kids anymore. It's over!

  • You could at least keep it around for a while to watch the reruns... I'm clinging to my Showtime in hopes that enough people will sign the dumb internet petition that I know won't do any good and they'll bring it back...

  • OMG! I didn'rt know anyone besides me watched that show! I'll sign. I need more RUBE and MORE MASON!

  • Now we have a reason to go visit Citygurl - we'll have lunch, have some martinis and then stage a sit in at her office - it may have to wait until spring because I'm not acclimated to the cold weather... Oh, I guess if I have enough to drink I won't notice

  • If they bring the show back, I'll get Showtime again. But petition or otherwise, the only thing that determined fatcats respond to is money.

    If enough folks drop subscriptions in the wake of this thing, they're forced to notice. Forced! But a petition can be ignored, as most unfortunately are, unless they're backed up by legal support, i.e. petitioning to get a person on the presidential ballot.

    Reruns, shmeruns. I'm not paying full price for shows I've already seen.

    (My God... I just typed "shmeruns.")
