Life On Mars

Re: Lost On Mars

Well, there is already an original thread too - and did you know there was a sequel, Ashes to Ashes (not as good) set in the 1980's - which may even have a second season. BTW they are both titles of David Bowie songs (one from the 70's and one from the 80's.)

I can change the thread title - or I can merge with the existing thread (may contain spoilers.)

Thanks for the additional info. Either correcting the title or merging is okay with me. Whichever is the easiest. :)
 
Oh Life on Mars,yea I watched that when it was first shown. I watched the first episode of the sequel but ran out of interest. Was good to hear Are Friends Electric playing in the background tho,and the 80s was the best decade for music! Well i say decade,more like 1977-1984
 
Life on Mars original was a great and really original series. I did watch brit tv shows on tv at times mostly comedy,crime but after this i looked after other quality series on my own.

The american version.... even the idea of it disgust me.
 
I had no idea Life On Mars was originally a British show. I didn't watch a whole lot of television after Star Trek (original series) was cancelled. Sounds good, I'd like to see it. But is ANYONE watching the new version on ABC? Since I can't compare it with the original I'm cursed to view it with an open mind hampered perhaps with a love for time travel stories. As noted in an earlier post, it's intriguing enough to keep watching for the time being. I just hope it doesn't bog down with a no-end-in-sight carrot dangling in front of me.
 
If they follow the British plot, it will end satisfactoally, Dask. Otherwise, American networks being what they are, they might stretch it beyond endurability. I hope you get the former.

What a millstone that open mind of yours must be! :D
 
I hope they dont spoil it like they did with Red Dwarf, it would be a waste of a fantastic story.

*wanders if they will get the book 'The rules of modern policing 1973 edition' by DCI Gene Hunt, in the U.S.
I have it, what a funny book!*

They are already planning several seasons.

So even if its good now eventually they will wear out the story to death soon.

Thats why i have got a fetish for british series these days. They actually end after a while and they end as planned. Not because it starts to suck and get canceled.
 
Having just found out how the american version ended, does anyone know if they wound it up like that as it had been canceled or was it always the plan to have such a terrible ending.
 
Can anyone tell me the name of the Elton John song played at the end of the final episode of the US version?

I gather from what I read that the series got cancelled so the knee-jerked an ending.

Dask - I've given you a link in the other thread you opened, hope it helps.
