The acclaimed Showtime/MGM Television Entertainment comedy series "Dead Like Me" continues to take a fresh look at life, death and the afterlife in it's second season. Guest stars include Eric McCormack ("Will & Grace"), Barbara Barrie ("Suddenly Susan") and veteran comedian Shelley Berman ("Curb Your Enthusiasm").
