Body of the Week: Difference between revisions

 

== Anime and Manga ==

 

 

* ''[[Six Feet Under]]'', the HBO series set in a funeral home, started every episode with an ordinary person going about their life and having it rudely interrupted in some disastrous way. In most episodes this was done to great comedic effect.

* ''[[Waking the Dead]]'' did this, albeit with very old bodies.

* ''[[Quincy ME]]'' was a [[Forensic Drama]] about a medical examiner (Jack Klugman) who solved murders through forensic investigations. The show always opened with a person dying of [[Make It Look Like an Accident|seemingly ordinary causes]].

* ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' is interesting in that the corpse is [[Back From the Dead|temporarily resurrected]] for one minute, so you can get some idea of what they were like in life.

* ''[[Perry Mason]]'' in which Perry represented someone incorrectly accused of murder (of the week).

* ''[[Dexter]]'' is about a [[Serial Killer Killer]], so the typical episode will have a [[Serial Killer]] or other [[Monster of the Week|Horrible Person Of The Week]] murdered by the end.

* ''[[Ghost Whisperer]]'' has a Ghost of the Week (occasionally, two in one episode) in every episode. The ghost's corresponding physical body is usually not seen. Each episode typically deals with the protagonist, Melinda Gordon (who is one of a handful of still living people who can see and interact with ghosts), assisting that week's ghost in dealing with some unresolved issue from their human life. This can range anywhere from discovering the details of how the person died to delivering a final message to their still living family members, oftentimes both.
