In the CBS television show Touched by an Angel, Death was sympathetically portrayed as a recurring character, played by John Dye. 

Showtime's Dead Like Me portrays soul collection as a widespread organization with many different divisions and, most likely, thousands of "employees", each of whom take souls from the living upon death. 

The 1959 Twilight Zone episode "One for the Angels" (the second episode in the series), Death visits a storefront salesman to take his life. They agree that the salesman should die only when he has pulled off a "pitch for the angels," and only then will he go. When Death finds out this is a trick, he decides to take the little girl next door instead (who's just been hit by a truck), saying he's been "forced to choose an alternative." The salesman manages to save the girl's life by distracting Death with an irresistible sales pitch (the "pitch for the angels") and as per their agreement, Death leads the salesman to Heaven.  The 2002 Twilight Zone episode "One Night at Mercy" stars Jason Alexander as a suicidal Death. 

In Charmed, The Angel of death was featured couple of times with several incarnations from Azrael to Yama.  In the 2006 episode of Supernatural they battle a grim reaper brought on from a bonding spell. The Angel of Death also appeared as a man who appeared before those who had died to take them to the afterlife. He was neither good nor evil.
