4 Quirky, Cancelled Television Shows for Your Netflix Queue

There's a lot of good TV out there. Netflix has helped a lot of people keep up with shows that they would otherwise miss entirely. House, Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, these programs are in high demand, and appear on a huge number of Netflix queues. Many great television shows hit the airwaves during inopportune timeslots, or lack the broad support needed to maintain their momentum through more than a season or two. It seems that these shows are gone before they ever have time to be seen. In years past, a television show that was cancelled before the end of their first season was doomed to obscurity, regardless of the value of the show itself. You Netflix queue offers you an opportunity to view these excellent shows in the comfort of your home, without having to special order them or track them down on ebay. Here are four quirky shows that should have stuck around a little longer. Add them to your queue today - you'll thank me.

Dead Like Me - 2003-2004
29 episodes

Basics - Originally aired on Showtime, the Sci Fi Channel is currently airing slightly-censored episodes of the show. As is typical in such cases, while the cencored bits add little to the overall story-arc of each episode, they are amusing and add a lot to the quirky character of the show. Netflix is the way to go.

Synopsis - Georgia "George" Lass, played by the adorable and sarcastic Ellen Muth, kicks the bucket, killed by a flying toilet seat, at the beginning of the first episode. Rather than passing on to the afterlife, George is recruited into the ranks of the grim reapers by Rube (Mandy Patinkin). George's job is to escort the souls of the recently deceased on to their next plane of existence, while gaining no real knowledge of the nature of the next plane herself. Each episode is a reflection on death, dying, and the nature of our relationships with the people and things that make up our lives.
