Has anyone else been watching this show? I first watched with skepticism but ended up hooked. Harvey Keitel as the Lt. is a blast. It has a nice surreal feel and brings back lots of 70's memories.

I love that show!
Jason O'Mara is so adorable! He's from Dublin Ireland. When he talks he reminds me of Mel Gibson.(even though he's not from ireland)

I caught this last night because they were talking about it on the radio. It was really good, but there is plenty I still don't get. It was really good and I'll be tuning in regularly now.
Whoopi was a hoot last nite.

Yeah she was.
What's "Life On Mars"?
I didn't see the first episode,maybe he was in an accident,either way it knocked him to'73
^A new drama show on ABC Thursdays. I didn't realize until recently that it was a remake/copy of a UK series.
Basic premise, the lead guy's a detective who's in an accident and wakes up in the 1970's. Of course, he's trying to figure out why and how to get back to present time, and runs into people from his childhood, like his mom in last week's episode.
I first watched it to check out the supporting cast, Harvey Keitel and ChristoFUH from the Soprano's, but kept watching because it's actually quite good.
He looks really different with his cheesy 70's hair, mustache and sideburns. But the voice is the same.
I saw the British LoM first, and I can't watch the US version without comparing it(and it coming up lacking) to the original. I do like Harvey Keitel, though.
That's why I'm glad I didn't. I can judge it on its own merits. Kinda like the US version of The Office.
Thanks for explaining.
God, if I could wake up in the 70's; I do not think that I would be trying to get back here!
I am love, love, loving this show! It is my second new favorite after My Own Worst Enemy. Although, I must confess, Life On Mars has more of a plot to me. My Own Worst Enemy is a giant piece of spectacular eye candy, for me! The plot isn't quite all that important to me, for that show.
"So many faces in and out of my life. Some will last, some will just be now and then. Life is a series of Hellos and Goodbyes, I'm afraid it's time for Goodbye again. "
And the soundtrack brings back memories.

I think I read today somewhere this show got cancelled. You should check around but I'm pretty sure about that. I've never seen the show but I love the premise.

You may be in luck. I just realized this show is on ABC and the one I thought I read was cancelled is on NBC I believe. I may have them mixed up. "Life on Mars" is on for me right now and I'm finding it pretty interesting actually!
Ok edited to add I just went a checked and this is not the show that I read was cancelled. The one cancelled was the one with Christian Slater on NBC, "My Own Worst Enemy". Sorry about that!!

Still much to explore on this show. I hope ABC does not fumble the ball with this one.

Tragic demons at that.

Never seen it or even heard about it, but when I read the title, I thought about the movie/tv series from the 1970's ( maybe 80'S) that stared Rock Hudson. What was the name of that?
Yay Life on Mars comes on tonight! I've missed it so much!
Sad this show got canelled. What the hell am I'm gonna watch on wed. nights now. I'm done with ABC,guess i'll go back to spending more time on here
I love this show and I'm so mad they cancelled it. At least they're gonna give an ending to the series...I hope it's a good one.
I also loved the soundtrack to the show. '70's music is great!
I don't even know why I bother watching new shows anymore. All the ones I watch end up getting cancelled. They don't give shows enough time to develop an audience.
They definately should end it the same way.
The British version was alot better though. Sorry Guys
Harvey was briliant though.

I love the music too! Oh and of course the fashion. I hope the show's ending is better than Jericho's,that was awful,I can't even remember what it was. I have the same problem with shows,the one's I like get canceled. I'm still mad about Invasion being canceled. Now if Fox get's rid of Bones,i'm done with tv.
Last night was the series finale,anyone watch it? I liked it,just sad it's over.
I really enjoyed the show. I am sad they are not continuing with it.
And yeah, I'm pissed thgat LOM got the axe. Fucktards.
