After coming under fire for letting Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone and Pushing Daisies drift off into oblivion, ABC will allow Life on Mars to finish its story.
Variety confirmed the American revamp of the British sci-fi series will end this season, but ABC has informed producers so they can resolve the story in 17 episodes. Ironically, the British original ran only 16 episodes as a closed-ended series. That show then spun into the 1980s with Ashes to Ashes, a show following Lt. Gene Hunt. No such luck for the American series.
The American version was troubled from the beginning, undergoing …read more

Tonight, Detective Sam Tyler has to deal with a strange hostage situation that may be connected to his own – strange situation. Also, he gets a phone call from what sounds like his mother in 2008 begging him to wake up.
Life on Mars will soon be leaving its Thursday night digs to be paired with the returning Lost on Wednesday nights. ABC is hoping the two sci-fi shows will play well together, not unlike FOX’s decision to pair up Dollhouse and Terminator on Fridays.

Tonight on Life on Mars, the 125th Precinct is caught in the middle of racial tensions between Black and Puerto Rican factions. A Black girl is thrown off a building and there’s a Puerto Rican murder suspect. The Black Liberation Army wants to handle the matter in its own way and I’m guessing it will not involve Miranda rights or writ of habeas corpus.
As a bonus, Whoopi Goldberg guest stars. After election season on The View, I’m imagining a full-scale riot may be a quieter gig for Whoopi.

Again, that is an abbreviated ep title. The full title is “Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing in the Shadows?” Feel free to join me in my petition to get shorter episode titles for Life on Mars.
Anyway, tonight Sam encounters his younger mother after she gets attacked by mobster Nick Profaci. Sam finds Profaci could be involved in the murders of two other women. Also, Profaci and his mob boss might be entangled with some of the cops from the 1-2-5. Lucky Sam already has such a great working …read more

Actually, the full title of this ep is “My Maharishi Is Bigger Than Your Maharishi.” They’ve really got to quit that with the long episode titles. They don’t fit up there nicely after Life on Mars Tonight.
All kidding aside, tonight a returning Vietnam veteran gets murdered. …read more
