I had a swag of emails overnight – which I’ll print in the next ‘Mailbag’ – from a few folks that are dropping tear ducts into their tea after hearing the news that Showtime’s "Dead Like Me" is headed for the morgue.
A little note for those guys – don’t give up hope just yet. Rumour has it that the show is being pitched to the SciFi network.
Not only that, MGM’s television president Hank Cohen told TV Guide that it’s not quite squashed seal yet. "We are exploring every opportunity and option that we have available to us," he says. "It’s a terrific show and, contrary to what [Showtime president Robert Greenblatt] told Variety [on Tuesday], our producers don’t feel like we’ve even begun to explore all of the Reaper opportunities that we have. We have a very, very loyal fan base and I’m going to do everything I can for these fans to make sure the show lives on. The irony of all this is that Dead Like Me is a metaphor for second chances, and we’re hopefully going to find one."
Cohen expects a final decision will be made within 45 days.
Don’t sell the house yet Mandy!
