It may not be nice or cute or lovable or anything other than sick and twisted but I love this show. There are episodes as funny as anything I've seen (Keeper of the reaper/fear and loathing in endsville) and theres certainly a lot of Dexters in it like there is in Fosters.
I couldn't believe it when I found out the voice of Mandy is also Frankie! The way she can even sing in Mandy's bland dead voice is just incredible. Very gifted lady.
To be frank I always thought this show was brave. I always thought the imagry of personified death with a scythe is still somehow deeply horrifying (it seems to have originated at the time of the black death in europe) despite the attempts of this show and author Terry Pratchett to make him sympathetic. It's one of the last big taboos despite the fact it's all around us all the time and the only reason any of us are alive is because many millions of other things have died before us. Those guys are right, death is just part of the process of living. It's the remembering and missing that's hard.
Sorry I seem to have gone all heavy. See what can happen? Think about Fred Fredburger. That's better.................
