Dead Like Me (2003)
Dead Clever
This show was in my opinion the most cleverly written, and best acted cable series EVER! Perfect casting, great stories, and FUNNY. You could not ask for more. Why Showtime wouldn't renew this show after season two makes no sense. Rent, or buy both seasons of this and enjoy! Absolutely great! From the outset all the characters and of the reapers as well as the intertwined plot of the living are blended perfect. It's so interesting as the series moves along to learn how each character met their end(except for the leader Rube, as I don't recall his demise was ever mentioned). Ellen Murth just pulls of the lead character so perfectly. Brilliant stuff all around in every episode, and not even the Sopranos can say that!
FM (1978)
Prophetic indeed
Hindsight beings what it is now some 27 years after it's release, FM fore tells the impending doom of commercial radio! If you're in the radio business you'll get the meaning of that for sure. FM also spawned the first multi artist soundtrack album that sold very well. The Movie can be a bit slow in places, but it chillingly fore tells the coming doom of radio under corporate control, over commercialization, and the stripping of the Jocks influence and power. Nice musical performances from Linda Ronstadt who was actually played on Rock Radio then, and Jimmy Buffett. Good lightweight entertainment. Tune in turn on, and never come down to earth with Q Sky!
