48th Post!!

Life On Mars

ABC has came out with a few mega hit TV show over the past year, shows like Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy and etc..glad and sadden to say this shows are still on going. Started off with a bang but its somewhat crappy now..especially Lost..now the show really is LOST..

..and so in 2008, ABC picked up a pilot of Life On Mars, which of course used to be a hit British TV series..much like NBC's The Office.

The show stars Jason O'Mara, Harvey Keitel and the former New Jersey DiMeo family mobster Michael Imperiolli..its a shame that the show only made it for one season due to the lack of viewers, but then again..how can you determined the "no" viewers based on some research company basing it on a few thousand fellas (although they do it very frequently..I still think its crap)

The show wrapped up after 17 episodes very cleanly and neat according to an atricle I read online..This show is memorable for alot of funny reasons..they came out with jokes like this

How do you know that Jesus is black??

'He likes the cosmic..he calls everybody brada..and even he couldn't get a fair trial'

Hunt "You couldn't find sand even if you slid off a camel"

Carling "I will crawl through half a mile of broken glass just to kiss the last man who sucked her toes"

Pretty damn impressive jokes for a drama..

its also a real shame that so many great shows limp or get cancelled because of bad ratings..just because an average American cant understand the joke or the concept; shows like

1) Arrested Development (Cancelled after 3 seasons of limping)
2) Scrubs (after limping on NBC season after season now in ABC for its final season)
3) 30 Rock (Lack of viewers every single episodes but sweeping TV awards like no tomorrow)
4) Life (great concept but lack viewers)
5) Life On Mars
6) Day Break (Cancelled)
7) The Inside
8) In Justice

I would prefer that any of this 8 shows survive than to see Meredith and McDreamy drama on Grey's anytime of the day, or how lost Lost is in translating the show to the viewers or how 4 almost 200 years old combined, housewives struggling with life, or how the flowchart in House works..

Patient get sick --> get sicker--> get better --> get seriously sick --> House come out with idea --> Patient is cured

..even if all this show actually do make it pass the 5 seasons mark..how many will be memorable..like..Friends, Frasier, NYPD Blue, The Shield, Sopranos..maybe House will but the rest dont stand a fucking chance. So to my American friends...please get a little smarter and get shows like Heroes..and 4 camera comedy out of the TV screen and start being smarter by watching more single camera comedy..with no "HA HA HA HA" assist.
