Dead Last is an American fantasy comedy-drama television series, produced by Warner Bros. Television, and aired on The WB from August 14 to September 25, 2001.[1] It starred Sara Downing as Jane Cahill, Tyler Labine as Scotty Sallback, and Kett Turton as Vaughn Parrish.[1][2][3] The series ran for one season with 13 episodes produced, but only 6 episodes were aired by The WB before the series was cancelled.

Plot

[edit | edit source]

The three members of the fictional band named The Problem find, and are unable to rid themselves of, a magical amulet that allows them to see and communicate with ghosts. Each episode featured the trio reluctantly completing the unfinished business of the ghosts they encounter in order to allow the ghosts to move on to the next world. Much of the humor of the series came from The Problem wanting to develop their career instead of helping ghosts, and that the trio almost invariably are viewed as, at best, mentally unbalanced by those who cannot see or hear ghosts.
