Dead Like Me Grim Reapers to Protest Series Cancellation at Showtime Offices in New York

Will Deliver 30,000 E-mails from Disgruntled Fans

NEW YORK, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire/ --
WHAT: Jack Myers' MediaVillage.com, the leading community website for all
those who are passionate about TV, has received more than 30,000
e-mails from disgruntled fans of the Showtime series Dead Like Me
since the cancellation of the show was made public before the start
of its third season this past spring. On Halloween, multiple grim
reapers -- in full costume and joined by fans of the innovative
series -- will deliver the e-mails to the Showtime office in New
York. The consensus among fans is that they want Dead to be either
revived or wrapped up with a special movie event.

WHEN: Monday, October 31, 11 a.m.

WHERE: Outside the Showtime offices, 1633 Broadway (50th Street)

COMMENT FROM JACK MYERS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER OF MEDIAVILLAGE.COM:
"Obsessed Dead Like Me loyalists from around the world have been
inundating the MediaVillage Sound Off section with strongly worded
messages to Showtime executives. Yet, a senior Showtime executive told
Jack Myers Entertainment Report that the thousands of protesting fans are
just a small fraction of the network's subscriber base. It seems, in this
age of video-on-demand and strong DVD sales, that Showtime should and
could be more responsive to these loyal and passionate fans. This
Halloween protest event is likely the last chance viewers will have to
convince Showtime to bring the series back in some form."
