Was an awesome show on BBC, just hope the U.S. version is half as good. Life On Mars - Home - ABC.com
Its a great show man, keep with it, it gets better. very accurate looking for the time (even though I would have been 1 at the time it reminds me of my early years). The ending wasn't what I was expecting and really wished it went on longer.
Its been OK, just hard to compete with how great the original was. U.K. Mars Creator Praises ABC's The co-creator of the BBC's time-travel cop series Life on Mars gives high marks to ABC's American version of the show as being in the same gritty spirit as the U.K. original, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "I think it's marvelous," co-creator Ashley Pharoah--who was in New York to pick up the show's second International Emmy for best drama--told the trade paper. "We're really very proud of it." Pharoah said that he understands that the U.S. version was likely to take a different direction from the British version. For one thing, the U.K. Life on Mars ran for a planned 16 episodes, while the ABC version could have a first season of 22 episodes and could have many more if it's picked up for further seasons. "They're changing the mythology, which I think is all right," Pharoah said. "It has to be different. Otherwise everyone just goes on YouTube and sees how it ends." It's widely speculated that the U.S. show will also have a different explanation for the central character's dilemma: He's a 21st-century cop who mysteriously finds himself transported back to the 1970s http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=62435
Him geting back to current time and missing the 70's so he jumps off a rooftop hoping to go back to the 70's But there is alot more to it than what it sounds like, and that is the end of season 2. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOEfvMMcw_A&feature=related[/ame]
This show is by far the new show that I have I liked the most in 4 years since House first started. It has by far the best music of any show in many years. It is frustrating that will not be a new episode until January 29th
I really liked the show, and was upset when I heard it had been told to "wrap it up" since they weren't going to be renewed. I have to admit, the ending made me laugh out loud. It was so cheesy and over the top I couldn't help it. The one thing I never got was how did he keep his hands off Windy? Jeez, no way I could have resisted tapping that-especially with all the openings she gave him.
Loved the show. Not crazy about the ending. Part of me believes this was the producers way of sticking it to ABC for axing the show. I will never understand how a show with Harvey Keitel and Gretchen Mol isn't a ratings hit.
great show, horrible ending. I read some interviews that the writers said it was always going to end like that
