You did what in your cup?
I'm surprised anyone has heard of Dead Like Me, my Uncle found it in like 2011 and we pretty much binged the whole thing. No one I've met has heard of it, only the existence of google has confirmed that it is real and I'm not crazy.

Dead Like Me was surprisingly popular in the UK

That just makes it even more strange.

I loved Dead Like Me. I learned how to pirate in in 2004 so I never accumulated much of a DVD collection but that's one of 5 series I actually own.

I own two, Kolchak I got because of a pretty small podcast and Aeon Flux. I watched it when I was 13 and it sorta stuck around in the back of my head. It also BSoDs my boyfriend like Panty & Stocking did, so that's cool.

I had read about Kolchak for years, but had no way of watching it until some kind soul digitized the episodes they'd taped off of a long-defunct cable channel called Trio. (It's a great show, by the way.) There was a really interesting time to be alive, as an old media junkie, between the advent of BitTorrent and the serious influx of fan-uploaded out-of-print TV to YouTube, where people were just digitizing whatever they had taped and bundling it into torrents, and I think there were probably three straight years or so during which I was never not downloading things and offloading them to external media just as fast as I could. A torrent could be seeded one day and dead the next, and some people got really possessive and weird about "I have this and you don't, so here are some hoops for you to jump through before I'll consider sharing it [again]".

Almost all the media I gobbled up eventually got nice, clean DVD releases or showed up on one streaming service or another, making those old rips basically obsolete — but they were like treasure at the time.

That was basically Good Eats for me, last I looked there's no good way to either own it for a less than absurd amount of dosh or watch earlier episodes in more than 240p.

Unanswered cliffhangers are the bane of my existence.
