dead like me
Dead Like Me is an American television comedy-drama starring Ellen Muth and Mandy Patinkin as grim reapers in Seattle, Washington. The show was created by Bryan Fuller for the Showtime network, where it ran for two seasons in 2003 and 2004 before cancellation. Fuller left the show after five episodes due to creative differences; he went on to co-create Wonderfalls and create Pushing Daisies . Creative direction of Dead Like Me was taken over by executive producer John Masius. SCI FI has rerun the series on Tuesday evenings; A direct-to-DVD movie has completed filming and is to be released in the summer of 2008; depending on the movie's success, the series may be picked back up again.
Eighteen-year-old Georgia "George" Lass (played by Muth) is the show's protagonist and narrator. George dies early in the pilot episode, leaving her mother (Cynthia Stevenson) and rest of her family behind at a point when her relationships with them were on shaky ground. She becomes one of the "undead", a grim reaper. George soon learns that a reaper's job is to remove the souls of people, preferably right before they die, and escort them until they move on into their afterlife. The show explores the "lives" and experiences of a small team of such reapers — led by Rube (played by Patinkin) — as well as the post-mortem changes in George and her family as they deal with George's death.

Nothing like a good golf joke once in awhile, but this one's not funny (San Diego Union-Tribune)
I play the game, so I've always been a sucker for a good golf joke. I've heard it a million times, but I still laugh at the one where the guy's playing partner has a heart attack and drops dead on the 14th hole, and later in the clubhouse they asked what happened after that.
