Life on Mars

By nobody@vox.com(Jack Yan) Humorous scenes include Cristóbal trying to use a personal computer (even though this is set later than the original Life on Mars, it is still too new) and Sam talking to Quin about Maradona and football. The episodes are shorter, now 70 minutes long.

By Alasdair Wilkins The final episode of the American version of Life on Mars offered a rather unexpected resolution to just what had been going on with Sam Tyler all this time. As it turned out, he was neither a cop from 1973 nor one from 2008. Instead, he was part of the first manned expedition to Mars in 2035 and th...

By Roger Catlin The big question in the series' end for Sam, sent back to 1973 after he was hit by a car, was whether he'd return to the present if given a chance or settle in back in a simpler time, where he'd had a glimmer of love with a cop played by Gretchen Mol.

While Jerry Orbach and Chris Noth will always be the quintessential detective duo on the show Green and Lupo come pretty darn close (in my book) and I've had an absolute ball watching them together this season. I wish Martin/Green was staying, to be honest. Life On Mars. Episode 2.

"Out Here in the Fields" Harvey Keitel is the weak link in an otherwise strong ensemble (with Jason O'Mara blowing everyone else off the screen). It's a strong concept: cop from 2008 wakes up to find himself working as a cop in 1973. The case-of-the-week is strong and the recreation of the period is good. In a season of many, many dreadful new shows this competent average outing is one of the best. Nice for Life On Mars, but a sad reflection on the state of network TV at the moment. Highlight?

By Kate Why you should watch Life on Mars November 15th, 2008 By Kate Blake, ADMIN Multipleverses Life on Mars is moving to Wednesday nights this winter- and if you are not watching you should check it out! I loved the original BBC series and I have to admit I am eager each week to see what will happen next as this quirky cop drama set in the 1970s plays out on TV. One of the reasons I really like The Mentalist and Life are that those series are police dramas that rely on intuition more than DNA and sophisticated evidence. Life on Mars takes this even further as Sam Tyler a modern detective is thrust back to the past and this modern detective has to rely on intuition, memory of the past, and his true ability to use logic and tie disparate clues together to solve cr...   [read the full post]

Life on Mars Update- Sneak Clip with Whoopi Goldberg November 4th, 2008 TV Guide is reporting this week in their shows on the bubble list that Life on Mars is one show with an uncertain future.

It is hard to say though as they will be up against what may be the most anticipated prime-time return in recent years when Anthony Edwards returns to ER for a special cameo flashback appearance.

By Art Brodsky ABC a couple of weeks debuted a new show, "Life on Mars." The conceit of the show is that a detective in 2008 is somehow (never explained) transported back to 1973.

By noreply@blogger.com (Vance) Plus, it'll take a lot of brute man to go up against Harvey Keitel and Michael Imperioli. I'm still shocked about the new casting. So far, Life on Mars gets ***1/2 (3.5 stars out of 5) from me. Then again, John Michael Higgins makes me laugh all the time.

By KP(KP@TheTwoCents.com) Am I time traveller? Am I in a coma? Am I a lunatic? These are the minor questions that plaque Sam Tyler (Jason O'Mara) formerly a NYC police detective in 2008 and now a NYC police detective in 1973. One day Sam is hit by a car and wakes up in Mars...I mean in the 1973. Fortunately, David Bowie is around both times to cushion the blow. Sam, well, Sam proceeds to completely wig out. He starts ranting about his desk and his office until he gets the attention of the head detective: Gene Hunt (Harvey Keitel). Gene, with a punch to the stomach, lets Sam know who's boss. When Sam starts hearing voices from what seems to be 2008, he starts screaming, which prompts Ray (Michael Imperioli) to send Sam to be checked out by Annie (Gretchen Mol).   [read the full post]

By Roger Catlin The '70s precinct is pretty cool place to be, with Harvey Keitel the strange chief (way out of uniform for the times, it seems), Michael Imperioli in a huge mustache, cracking a joke with every line and Deep River native Gretchen Mol as a female cop who doesn't want to rock the boat.

By noreply@blogger.com (Paul Levinson) Fine start of Life on Mars on ABC tonight, and you know that I'm going to review this American version of the British series here on Infinite Regress, since I watch everything I can get my hands on regarding time travel, including Journeyman, relevant episodes of Lost and Heroes, and Deja Vu, too. But unlike Journeyman and Quantum Leap, Life on Mars will be one continuing, over-arching story, with Sam from 2008 back in 1973. I'm glad to see this, since I thought both Journeyman and Quantum Leap gave too much attention to specific episode story lines, and not enough to the backbone of the plot (Journeyman improved greatly in this respect near the end).   [read the full post]

I was a big fan of the BBC's version of "Life on Mars."

By Tempo It's not a carbon copy of "Journeyman," but fans of that NBC show might enjoy the British series "Life on Mars" (7 p.m. Tuesday, BBC America). In the first season, the show’s hero, Manchester policeman Sam Tyler (John Simm), was in a car accident, and woke up  in 1973.
