More Info at:
The American adaptation of Life On Mars has been canceled.
I, for one, refuse to accept this. Reality programming, teeny dramas, and political punditry are apparently the only things that qualify as entertainment anymore; I find this notion beyond offensive.
With the proliferation of brainless, talentless, meaningless "reality" programming, I`m forced to wonder what would the literary equivalent be... Newspapers, i suppose. And where would human history and society be without literature... Only news... No Twain, Tolkien, Wilde, Shakespeare...
Life On Mars is, from tip to tip, one of the best television shows to grace North American airwaves in years. Every aspect. From the dedication to continuity in set design, costuming, vernacular, music, styles, and on, Life On Mars conveys such a lush, rich, vibrant ambiance.
Further, the show is brilliantly cast. It is brilliantly written, performed, and executed in every way. The chemistry and acting of the cast is phenomenal. The story is simultaneously sad, happy, funny, gripping, intriguing, compelling, and entertaining in every way. From one episode to the next, the characters become more endearing and enmeshed in our lives. The storytelling becomes more gripping with every installment.
With such a deficit of talented writing and acting in mainstream media, how dare ABC cancel such a brilliant production? I refuse to accept this. I insist you allow this show to complete its' season, and renew it for at least one more. This show deserves a chance to grow.
Arrested Development, Carnivale, Surface, all brilliant shows cut down before their time. Seinfeld was nearly canceled after its' first season, and look how that turned out. Family Guy DID get canceled, then brought back, and look how THAT turned out.
ABC, we implore you, don't demean yourself by dropping Life On Mars in favor of... well, anything else. No one needs "Who Wants To Be An Amazing Race Bachelor Idol Dancing With Big Brother Moles".
Thank you.

- I hope that the programmers at ABC realize the possibility of Life On Mars becoming another slow-to-catch-on but ultimately-huge-hit program like Cheers and Seinfeld. Please don't cancel this quality show!

- Every brilliant show that has appealed to intelligent people have been cancelled by ABC this year. Pushing Daisies, Eli Stone and now Life on Mars. I have decided to turn to networks like Fox, USA, TNT and others that are now putting on quality TV shows that entertain and are not voyeurism like all these reality TV shows or comedy shows that have no humor at all. Please don't lower the standards of your network further. ABC is part of Disney which has always meant quality to me, so please keep quality programming and give Life in Mars a new life.

- I've been thinking about giving up TV for a long while. Then Life on Mars restored my faith that quality TV was not a thing of the past. Good bye Life on Mars? Good bye TV.
