"Life On Mars"
Anyone? Thoughts?

I liked it. Had a Journeyman vibe to it only without the back and forth time traveling. I loved seeing Micheal Imperioli as a cop!

3. "RE: Life On Mars"
I still like it. But I am not such a big fan of cop shows. This could turn me off if it gets to "coppy". Especially 1970's style cop shows.

What I like is the mystery of where he is at and why. I wish there were more of it. I am guessing because it is following the BBC series they have to stretch it out because that one was just a few episodes.

Anyone else watching?

We're watching. We like it. I love cop shows! I liked Journeyman better but this is okay too. I wish, oh crap I forget her name (Denise from the Cosby Show), was on more.

I recorded the first two episodes on the DVR, and after watching the pilot I'm planning on watching the second episode. After that, who knows. The show is odd but entertaining.

I'm caught up on episodes of this show and am happy to report that it's made the grade-- I've added it to my TiVo Season Pass list. It's quirky and fun, and I like it.

I missed the first two episodes (I'll have to find them online) and have just finished watching the last few.

I like this show. Seeing the 1973 cop attitudes crack me up and I really like the mystery behind Sam's being there. Harvey Keitel is good too.

Saw a news release saying that "Life on Mars" has had an additional 4 episodes added, and that it'll be moving to the time slot after "Lost" in January.

Whoopee, it isn't getting canceled!

Yay! I was worried when I realized that last week was the last time Life on Mars would be on for a while. Lost is a much better fit for a lead-in show than Gray's Anatomy.

The last episode was soooo good! I was totally into it and then it ended and said it wasn't returning until the end of January! Arg! I hate it when shows do that!

It was good ("I am Spartacus!") but didn't really push the mystery along of why he's in 1973. It almost felt like it was shown out of order - filmed earlier in the season but they wanted a cliff hanger for November so they moved things around.

"I am Spartacus!"

"No you're not. But you'll do." *grin* "C'mon, let's go."

That was a great episode. And Maria being Gene Hunt's daughter totally cracked me up. Complete with Ray leading Sam on, and Annie trying (unsuccessfully) to warn Sam. *snort*

I suspect the writers stayed away from the 1973 mystery since they were hoping to have new holdover viewers after the huge Lost premiere. They'll focus on the mystery again very soon, I'm sure.

While I liked the past two episodes, the writers seem to have lost interest in the mystery of why Sam is back in 1973. I hope they rekindle that story line soon, as I don't want this show to turn into CSI: 1973.

18. "RE: Life On Mars"
I finally got a chance to watch Thursday's show yesterday. I think they are addressing the mystery and I'm not too sure what to think of this new turn.

Two weeks ago they had the "Aries Project" folder when they were interviewing Sam, Ray and Hunt showing us that it was a Soviet backed plot.

Then this week they interviewed the FBI guy about time travel. I think both these things are pieces of the bigger puzzle, but it could get out-of-hand (especially if it turns into a Cold War storyline).

IIRC, the Americans changed the Season 1 ending of Life on Mars from the English ending. I think the English ending did not end happily, but I don't want to go look it up and spoil anything that may overlap!


I'm going off the rails with Foonermints

http://www.reuters.com/article/entertainmentNews/idUSTRE52227520090303

"The network has decided not to renew the time-travel series, which stars Jason O'Mara as 2008 Detective Sam Tyler working as a cop in 1973 New York.

The show will complete its 17-episode freshman-season order with an episode written as a series finale, wrapping the loose story ends, explaining how Tyler was transported back in time and perhaps bringing him back to his own time."

Bummer. Looks like that's my yearly quota of shows to lvoe and then have it get canceled on me. Last year it was Moonlight. Hopefully they really will tie up all the loose ends.

22. "RE: Looks like only one season"
Journeyman last year finally caused me to avoid any new network shows unless they seem guaranteed to get a second season. If it looks like I might like it I figure I can catch up with what I missed later. I did watch this once but refused to get suckered in, again.

For those that have BBC America, they are starting up a sequel to the original, original series: Ashes to Ashes. This one has a female protagonist in the 80's.

On Life On Mars, Detective Sam Tyler had an accident in 2007 and was transported back to 1973.

However, the story didn't end there: in the modern world of 2008, Detective Inspector Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes, MI-5) has risen rapidly through the ranks as a psychological profiler, and she's highly valued as an aid to capturing suspects. But she is ripped from her current world of high-tech gadgets and sexual equality when she is kidnapped and shot. Suddenly, Alex finds herself in 1981, interacting with familiar characters from the detailed reports she's been studying, logged by none other than Sam Tyler.

Fine by me. I really liked this show at first, but the past several episodes have been painful to watch. I only watched the beginning and the end of the most recent episode and fast forwarded through everything else. I'm really getting sick of the over-the-top cheesy 70's cop show thing.

24. "Finale"
While I liked the fact that Sam ended up in the same time period as Annie and that Vic wasn't his father, the ending was a little silly! It didn't quite fit with the earlier shows in tone and with the Sam-Rose-Vic-little Sam stories.

I am happy that they gave us a resolution even if it wasn't a perfect ending. I liked the wink of calling Gene Hunt "Major Tom" and seeing his white shoe stepping on the surface of Mars, LOL. The characters in this show were fun.


Cheers to Tribe!

25. "RE: Finale"
I thought the ending was cute. I would have liked to see what they could do for another season or two. I think this was "for when we get cancelled" scene. They could have used it no matter how many seasons it was on, I would think. Cute that Harvey Keitel was his dad. Even though it didn't answer all the questions, it put the questions to rest. I liked this better than the him being in a coma theory.

Sam looked really hot during that scene with his dad on the boat.

The characters were fun. I thought Michael Imperioli was great as Ray. The same could be said of any of them. The show was fun.
