I'm somewhat relieved to hear you agree with me, because I was afraid I'd get flamed for my minority opinion. :) I can see why people like it; it's just not my thing. And as you say, that kind of banter can work on a lot of shows--I loved the constant banter on M*A*S*H, for example, and I always compare GG to The West Wing... except with a cast of characters that have no reason to be so articulate.
I haven't seen the full run of Dead Like Me, actually, so I can't quite speak to the overall quality arc. But I started from the beginning and went from there, and got hooked maybe midway through the first season. It grows on you slowly.
