Dead Last is an American drama-comedy-fantasy television series, produced by Warner Bros., and aired on The WB in fall 2001. It starred Sara Downing as Jane Cahill, Tyler Labine[1][2] as Scotty Sallback, and Kett Turton as Vaughn Parrish. 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
The general plot was of the three members of a fictional band called "The Problem", who find a magical amulet that allows them to see and talk to ghosts. Each episode featured the trio helping the ghosts that they encountered in order for the ghosts to move on to the next world - much to their annoyance! Much of the humour of the series came from the Problem not wanting to help ghost rather than develop their career - not helped by the act that they can't tell if someone is a ghost until the spectre tells them.
