Anyone watch the premiere? I enjoyed it, although everything happened kind of fast. Lots of questions going forward, but it seems like they'll be answered in reasonable time. Anyone see the original UK version of the show?

I wasn't crazy about it. I heard the Brit version is solid...

I liked it but won't be setting up the DVR to record it or anything.

The original version is great, sharp and funny. It took me a while to get into it though (it is a bit of a wacky set up).

The most recent seg of "Life on Mars" averaged just a 2.0 rating/5 share among adults 18-49, as well as 5.5 million viewers.Five more episodes of "Life on Mars" remain out of the series' 17-episode order. As previously announced, the show's Wednesday 10 p.m. slot will go to newcomer "The Unusuals" in April.Based on the BBC series of the same name, "Life on Mars" centers on a cop who suddenly, mysteriously finds himself transported back to the 1970s, where the rules are dramatically different. Twentieth Century Fox TV and ABC Studios produce.Showrunners Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec and Scott Rosenberg aren't traveling far: They have the Alphabet pilot "Happy Town" in the works."Life on Mars" stars Jason O'Mara, Gretchen Mol, Harvey Keitel, Michael Imperioli and Jonathan Murphy.Originally developed and shot in 2007 under David E. Kelley, the show was redeveloped and reshot after Kelley departed. Under the new showrunners, just O'Mara was kept from the original cast; it was also retooled to better reflect the U.K. original.Beyond Appelbaum, Nemec and Rosenberg, exec producers include Stephen Garrett and Jane Featherstone. Kudos Film & TV, which originated the show in the U.K., is also a producer

what a downer. I really really like this show; it's a staple of my lineup. I wonder how they will wrap this up in a month. I hope the explanation of Project Aries is good.

They said they will give all the answers in the last few episodes....Probably the Dharma Initiative.

Strange series finale. I guess they had to make something up quick...but spacemen? Wonder if that was the ending to the original British show?

Never saw the original although I heard it was better.I didn't like the finale; well the end. Pretty unsatisfying. I wonder if that was going to be the ending if the show had not been canceled - I sure hope not.
