Tru Calling
Tru Calling is an American television program, which was first broadcast on the Fox Network in October 2003.
The show's cancellation was officially announced at a press conference in January 2005, but Gail Berman, then president of Fox, insisted that the network intended to broadcast the remaining six episodes filmed for the show's second season. Season Two of Tru Calling (such as it was) aired in New Zealand on TV3 beginning on February 4, 2005, in Croatia the following March and April, and finally, after nearly a year-long hiatus, in the U.S. beginning on March 31. The last episode filmed was never broadcast in the U.S., presumably because the show had a Christmas theme and the episodes were broadcast in the Spring. The complete series was aired in Singapore, Hong Kong, India, France, Malaysia, Germany, Slovakia, Brazil and Portugal as well. DVDs of both seasons of Tru Calling have been released in the United States and the United Kingdom. The second series began airing on Sky One in the UK, starting on October 12, 2006.
The lead character in the series is Tru Davies, played by Eliza Dushku, a young woman working the night shift at the City Morgue. Every now and then, the corpse of a newly dead person appears to awaken and ask Tru for help; she then awakens with a start at the beginning of the previous day, compelled to try to stop the death (often taking the opportunity to rectify various personal situations involving family and friends along the way).
Reasons for the death include murder, cancer, suicide, etc. Other characters in the series include Harrison Davies (Shawn Reaves), Tru's irresponsible younger brother (who later becomes a loyal asset to Tru at the end of the first season), and Davis (Zach Galifianakis), her friend, confidante, and supervisor at the Morgue. It is eventually revealed that Davis had several years earlier had a fateful encounter with Tru's mother (who had apparently been the last person to receive the "calling" before her daughter).
