While there is always room for improvement in anything from Hollywood, this comes far closer to the unattainable upper end of the scale than most.
When I first saw this show (about episode 2 or 3) I was expecting some teen-angst 'why me?' 'Friends' variant.
I was very pleasantly surprised. Of COURSE there's angst! The show is about a young lady suddenly bereft of life - and she's still a virgin. I don't know about you, but if I were a dead 18-year old and not allowed to cross over, I'd be pretty darn angsty, myself.
George deals with it, though, sulking like any teenager - but offering a bit of rare insight, hidden behind some of the best understated humor I've seen in quite a while.
But then, maybe my sense of humor is warped - I really do find the idea that somebody kicking off (pardon the pun) by having the heel of a lady's stiletto shoe stuck in his forehead hysterical. Add to that the interaction of the main characters - meeting in a *DINER* for crying out loud! - and it's amazingly bizarre.
The producer/director had the good sense to let the show stand on its own - no laughtrack, no overacting, and the humor, while it tends to be black, isn't over the top.
I'm sorry this series didn't last longer - it's certainly deserving of a much longer run.
All in all, it rather makes me hope that, when I eventually leave this mortal coil, I can spend time as a reaper.

Ok, I admit I'm something of a nut for bad movies. And this dog certainly falls into that category with a vengance. But those who even *think* this compares to the worst movie of all time - or even comes close - really need to watch more bad movies. The perennial favorite 'worst movie of all time' (Plan 9 from Space) is definately worse than this (though it's not the worst movie).
THis movie is great if you like bad movies, and even better if you like to MST your own. If you expect Gone with the Wind or even such dreck as "Angels in the Outfield", this is not for you.
