Animaniacs had an episode involving Death too. Meatballs Or Consequences. You forgot that one. It was also paying homage to The Seventh Seal.

Went to watch and Blip was acquired by Make or something and I guess they deleted the content ... oh well.

I like it when Death gets a job of the time and place, from grain crop harvester to bureaucratic agent.

I've watched this three times now, and I think I've worked out why I don't like this episode as much as your others (standard disclaimer about how I couldn't do anywhere near as good, and "not as much" still means "a pretty large amount of liking going on"): the analysis was comparatively shallow to your others. Now, I get it, Death is a huge, broad figure appearing in many, many media, and you covered as many as you could and tried to deal with each in a reasonable amount of depth without blowing out the episode length to sixteen hours, and maybe that was the right choice. I don't know. I, personally, would have preferred some deeper analysis of a smaller number of cases, or maybe just an examination of a particular manifestation/use of the Death character rather than the broad coverage you went for in a greater amount of detail as to the socio-cultural context, influence, and the like. Just my thoughts, ill-informed as they are.

Terrific episode, I really enjoyed. Although I was a bit disappointed in no mention of "Supernatural's" interpretation of Death, it's all good. I'm especially excited for next episode.
