2. I watched 6 feet
a few times then missed a bunch and never really got back into it. Dead is kinda quirky and I like that. Fun and simple, I love the ladies at Happy Time, what a crack up.

3. I like it...
I just got Showtime and have only seen two episodes. It is different, but I really like it. I like Six Feet Under more, but mainly because I have been watching it for several months and am more familiar with the characters. Although Dead Like Me is funnier!

11. She is adorable.
I am not quite certain what it is I like about it so much, I just slowly got hooked during the first season.

13. IT WAS YOU!
I remember now, it was you who mentioned it and I watched it and BANG, now I have to be home during at least one of the weekly showings or I get cranky! I have got to get a TIVO.

Those are some interesting choices there SoCalDem! I have missed you around here, good to see you again.

6. 'morning , MuseRider
have seen the ads & it looks interesting, but haven't gotten around to catching an episode. life can be chaotic. w/ your reccomendation, i'll plan to catch a show. sounds like the dark kind of humor that i'd enjoy.

14. Morning jukes!
I like it, my kids think it is just OK, my husband thinks it is stupid but I think that is just because he watched one episode in the middle of the second season without knowing what was going on. I love Mandy Patimkin (I know I spelled that wrong), the whole cast works well together. You just might like it.

7. The first season was GREAT...
And now we don't have showtime anymore and i'm in a dorm, so we really don't have it. I'm glad though that they're going to put out the seasons on DVD before the next one comes on. We'll probably start buying them. It's quality TV. Anyone been watching, wanna give me an update? I really miss Rebecca Gayheart. I really hate that blonde chick who thinks she's better than everyone else because she used to be a bit actress who had sex with everyone on set.

15. Hi Duckie!
Is it cool in OK too? Man, we have not used our air conditioner more than 5 times all summer up here.

The actress has grown on me. There was an episode last season where she kind of learned how to be more loving etc.......I missed most of it so I DO NOT KNOW Argggg, something about a guy with a painting. Whatever happened she is now still the actress with the ego but she is somehow nicer.

27. I just saw
our forecast and the temps are going up. Today 86 with severe thunderstorms and my boys and I will be outside at the Dave Matthews concert in KC! Still, 93 is much cooler than it was last year isn't it? We were well into the 110's last year at this time and our temp has been in the 70's for weeks.

9. I enjoyed it in the first season
until about halfway thru. They got very immersed in the characters doing paperwork, etc, which was about as interesting to watch as it is to do.

I don't get Showtime anymore so I haven't seen Season 2.

Which leaves me without Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, which I love.

16. It is still good.
I think that was only one episode and it was a very slow one but it had some meaning in it.

10. My wife loves it-got me into it
We just watched the one (On Demand) in which they get drunk in Rupe's room and mess with the post-it notes. George goes on a team building outing with the office people. It has definitely grown on me.

12. I love that show
Haven't been watching this season, though. I just can't get into being entertained by death quite yet, but someday I will be able to watch it again, I know.

18. Well I guess not.
Wait, it will all come out on DVD there is no reason for you to even try to find anything funny about death.

Have you tried the biofeedback yet? I would be interested to know if you were able to get it to work.

20. Thank you
I really appreciated your PM to me, and yes, I did give it a try on myself. Because I've practiced yoga and meditation for many years, there are a lot of similar principles, I think.

At any rate, I found it very helpful and haven't had a migraine (knock on wood...) in several weeks! Hooray! :D

I'm sure I can watch "Dead Like Me" again soon, but my husband and I watched it religiously together, so that's also a complication.

26. Hooray!
I hope it continues to work for you, that is such good news.

At least these days you know you can always get something you liked on video later. No need to rush it, it will be available. It is a pretty cool show I think.

25. Wife and I watch
Sunday is the only night we do "appointment" television, we watch, the Simpsons, Arrested Development, Six Feet Under and Dead Like Me.

Dead like me is a big favorite, even the theme song is quite good. The cast does a great job and the writing is mostly superior. The relationship between George and Rube is a lot of fun to watch. The show does a very good job at making you interested in the characters.
