Life on Mars

By brian The Life on Mars finale was well, unexpected, to put it mildly. I’ll be discussing that, Smallville and some of the week’s other TV events so consider this a spoiler warning. Allow me to summon the wisdom of Roger Ebert and say I hated, hated, hated the ABC Life on Mars ending. The British [...]

There was an appealing quality about Jason O’Mara as Sam Tyler that made me care what happened to Sam, and to give the show another chance. I also wanted to see Gretchen Mol as Annie Norris succeed in her struggle to be accepted as a “real cop”, ... Finale wrap-up: "Life on Mars" Salon

By Roger Catlin ABC, Inc. 500 S. Buena Vista Street Burbank, CA 91521-4551 In your article on the cancellation of "King of The Hill" your last line concerns the renewal of "American Dad" Was this line meant to subtly imply that in your opinion "American Dad" is an inferior show?

By podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) 05.30 Law And Order 06.30 The Jury 07.30 30 Rock 08.00 Life On Mars 02.30 Wings I've enjoyed these 14 episodes of Law And Order as much as any episode from the first decade of the show. 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. "The Real Adventures of the Unreal Sam Tyler" Harvey Keitel is awful and the case-of-the-week is boring, so watching this second episode is a bit of a chore. Highlight?

By podcast@mail2tv.com (RikerDonegal) 05.30 Law And Order 06.30 The Jury 07.30 Rita Rocks 08.00 Life On Mars Life On Mars. Episode 1. "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]

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]
