What the Web says:

18-year-old George Lass (played by Ellen Muth) dies when a toilet from the MIR space station falls from the sky and hits her. However, soon she discovers that afterlife really does exist... she becomes a reaper - she helps in catching the souls of people moments before they're destined to die. Then she meets a group of reapers who collect people's souls. The main reaper is Rube (played by Mandy Patinkin), who is always playing smart, Roxy (Jasmine Guy), a reaper with an additude, Mason (Callum Blue), a confused and funny reaper and Daisy (Laura Harris), a beautiful reaper full of mysteries. The other characters include George's family - mother Joy (Cynthia Stevenson), father Clancy (Greg Kean) and sister Reggie (Britt McKillip), who each have their own way to deal with George's death.

Now that she has a new life, George will try to deal with her new job as a reaper and the fact that she is dead. While learining some important lessons, George gets a job at Happy Days, a office leaded by Delores Herbig (played by Christine Willes), a funny woman who is always optimistic and tries to be everybody's friend while leading a perfect life. The other recurring characters include Crystal (Crystal Dahl), a Happy Days secretary that does not talk way too much and Der Waffle House's waitress Kiffany (Patricia Idlette). The only bad move was Rebecca Gayheart's removal from the show. Appereantly, she was unable to renew her contract so her character was sadly written out of the show.

The main description for the show is "funny and morbid". It debated on Showtime in 2003. The show became an absolute hit very soon and some people even payed to view Showtime just to watch the show that everyone talks about. However, just a year after, when season 2 finished, the show was unexpectedly cancelled by Showtime, which was one of the worst moves ever for a tv station like that. Then, MGM tried to sell the show to another station, but the attempt failed and the show was left dead.
