Trivia
The very last words of the last episode of the show are "Dead Like Me"

Goofs
When Rube visits his daughter's and wife's graves, it lists their birth years as 1922 and 1901, respectively. However, in a previous episode, Rosie's birth certificate states that she was born on 03/19/1925. Her mother's age on her last birthday was 24, so 1901 is the correct year of birth, she must have been born between 01/01/1901 and 03/18/1901.

Quotes
Mason: We're going to play a little Hallowe'en game. Now, I'm going to ask you a question and you're going to answer me. If you get it right, you win a dollar, if you get it wrong, I get all your candy. All right? Right. What original member of the Rolling Stones croaked whilst having a drowning accident?
Kids: Mick Jagger?
Mason: No, he's kind of alive and still touring.
Kids: Keith Moon?
Mason: No, that's the fucking Who.
Kids: Who?
Mason: The Who! It was Brian Jones, now hand over the candy. Now piss off. I partied with him and I reaped him, *yes*!
Rube: Stealing candy from children. Challenging.

The series' final note is entirely off-key

My overall rating of "Dead like me"'s Season 2: 7/10.

I had remembered the series' final episode being very bad, with Mason's face turning blue from the dry ice being a particular lowpoint of cartoonishness. Well, that episode _is_ bad, and perhaps drives a lot of the sentiment that I've seen, that seems unfounded otherwise: that Season 2, or specifically its second half, is bad in its entirety. I'm at a loss as to why this episode is the highest-rated of the series, when it should rather be the opposite. At least "Nighthawks" had a brilliant plotline buried below the clipshow.

In S2 there are 3 episodes that I consider bad: this one, "The escape artist" and "Death defying", but at least "TEA" had the fun plane plotline and the seeming telegraphing that the noose was tightening on George's identity; and "DD" had George finally arrive to a common-sense realisation, that her behaviour in the Trip arc has been bonkers, in the end. In this one, on the contrary, George concludes the series by doing something so stupid, Mason would be ashamed to mess up that badly. The boredom and plotholes that this episode introduces are just too immense even without that final kick in the 'nads.
