There's good news for those of us who were dismayed at the cancellation of "Dead Like Me." The dark comedy about the trials and tribulations of a group of grim reapers may come back to life -- briefly, at least.

"Dead Like Me," the popular Showtime television series starring Mandy Patinkin and Ellen Muth, is returning as a made-for-DVD movie. MGM told Moviehole.com that Stephen Herek ("The Mighty Ducks") will direct the new film. There's no word yet on who’ll be starring in the film -- but hopefully they'll revive the original cast.

I love "Dead Like Me", perhaps we could convince Sci-Fi to put it on as an Internet TV Show?
