'Life On Mars' - The Simple Secret Of The Note In Us All
added by newsBotSeeing a good series like this slowly die on the vine is quite depressing. I really have enjoyed this show, and this episode was a typical of what we've seen this year from "Life on Mars:" a decent storyline, some humorous interaction among the cast members, and just enough supernatural elements to keep the show grounded in its science-fiction premise.When a series is setting the ratings on fire, that could be seen as a good thing, but "Life on Mars" is hemorrhaging viewers on a weekly basis. A second season is extremely remote at best, and with the viewership decline in free fall, the plug could be pulled any day now.This was a solid episode with perhaps the best procedural mystery of the season so far.

It was up against another series premiere that night, "Eleventh ...

The Beginning Of The End For 'Life On Mars'
added by newsBotThere was good news and bad news when Andrew Nemec picked up the phone earlier this week. It was ABC sharing word that Nemec's American version of "Life On Mars" had been canceled. While that was hard enough to take, Nemec did get good news: they still had a chance to end the series without leaving its loyal fan base hanging. "We've felt from the beginning that if the show wasn't going to get its legs for a second season, nothing would have been more of a gift from the network and the studio than to give us the opportunity to find the creative closure a lot of shows don't get," Nemec told the Los Angeles Times. "It's all a bit sad, but it doesn't come without its closure and finality." "Life On Mars" is based on a British series of the same name that starred "Doctor Who's" ...
