This show came out in 2003. I'll never forget because that was the first year I ever had "on demand" and Amy and I would sit on my couch for stoned as hell and watch every episode in a row. I loved it then but for some ridiculous and illogical reason the show was cancelled. I just finished both seasons on dvd and even more now than ever can I say that George Lass is a TV character more similar to myself than if I had cloned my dna in a scientific laboratory.
Each individual character is like this complete fucked up head case which makes it so great and just THAT much more easy to relate to them. I relate to George the most because she is like the all typical, cynical, loudmouth bitch who always seems to offend people with her controversial blunder, but still feels all alone and doesn't quite fit into "team player" situations. I'm not exactly saying I possess all these traits but way back when, when I was wee little hatchling coming out of my shell into my teenhood... well that was me to a T. I had a mouth like a truck driver and a chip on my shoulder.
I always wanted to relate more to Angela Chase from My So Called life because I am so smitten with her character, the introspective wallflower. But I suppose that's most teenagers. 2 shows that just had very realistic teenage perspective. Dead Like Me however had a point of view that wasn't very tangible for the living. It was more of an "undead" thing, but I'm sure if I was undead I'd totally be George.
