From Entertainment Weekly:

Dead Like Me Showtime, premieres June 27, 10 PM.
Dead Like Me begins with a renegade toilet seat breaking free from the Mir space station and plummeting to earth, flattening aimless teen Georgia "George" Lass (Ellen Muth). Once dead, she finds direction via a grim reaper named Rube (Chicago Hope's Mandy Patinkin), who talks George into spending her afterlife collecting souls. "We facilitate their journey, wherever they're headed," says Patinkin, whose reaping team includes the bubbleheaded Betty (Rebecca Gayheart) and the rough-and-tumble Roxy (Jasmine Guy). Though George is initially sullen about her soul-trolling duties, is it really any surprise that death helps her, you know, appreciate life?

Oh my god. It's the American version of Yami no Matsuei! Just without the pretty gay.

Yeah, really. I mean, she dies after getting hit by a flying space toilet. Compared to suicide/comas and lingering curses, she's got nothing.

The moment a toilet of any kind features as a cause of death in YnM, I'm out of the fandom >>;
