I've been loving this show. Hate to see it go.

1. I've liked it
I watched it after Lost a few times, but I don't watch every episode. I watched it in London a few times and thought the UK version was better.

2. I could never get interested in the US version
I loved the BBC show. Can't wait for "Ashes to Ashes" this weekend. It's a sort of sequel.

6. Ugh. I thought Ashes to Ashes was brutally bad.
And I loved Life on Mars.

I'd be interested in hearing what you thought of AtA

7. I enjoyed it, actually
I like the original characters and I enjoy Keeley Hawes from MI-5. Gene Hunt is a riot. I want to slap him sometimes but he's great. And the Quattro! Always one of my favorite cars.

I think the story will evolve. It's nothing really mind-grabbing but it was good entertainment.

3. Me, too. I've really enjoyed it
Any guess on how many more episodes they have in the can and might still show.

Or was last night's the last??

4. Don't know how many are left but
apparently they have a series finale in the can. I'm going to miss Imperioli, Keitel and all that great 70's music.

Here's the info:

4 March 2009 8:10 AM, PST | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Harvey Keitel, Jason O'Mara and Michael Imperioli's U.S. sci-fi TV series Life On Mars has been cancelled - just five months after the show first aired.

The American programme, adapted from a popular British series of the same name, began airing in October, but has not seen the same success as its U.K. counterpart, which has won BAFTA and Emmy Awards.

On Monday, the three actors teamed up to urge New York State officials to extend their tax credits for film and television production - the same day bosses at TV network ABC announced they would not be ordering a second season, reports Daily Variety.

The final episode is scheduled to air next month.

5. I just watched the first episode yesterday
I was kind of bored by it but now I feel the need to watch the rest of the episodes so I know what happens to Maya. Plus, I was born in 1973 so I find it interesting to hear the music from that year (I'm assuming it is all from that year or around there) and the clothes, cars, etc.

8. I never missed an episode
I liked it especially the music and the costumes. I'm like.... I had those earrings, what ever happened to them?
