Its sad i really hate to see Life on Mars, Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money. I really liked those shows. They keep the stupid ones and cancel the good ones. Are they retarded or something?

I thought a friend of mine was joking when she told me Life on Mars was cancelled. One of the coolest shows to come down the pike in a long time and am the douche bags decided to cancel it!
Maybe they didn’t like that it wasn’t all PC I guess.
ABC = All Bores Cancel

I am really disappointed that Life on Mars was canceled. I am just shocked. I thought it was a very interesting show. Hopefully someone else picks it up.

Life on Mars was a unique and interesting show. The writers kept you guessing which keeps you involved. I did not know until the last minutes of the show last week that the show was over. Thank you to the creators for closing the book and explaining the premise.

As for my other favorite show Eli Stone, I hope they do not cancel it as well. The stories are compelling and heartwarming. This is clearly what we want in entertainment, not more reality tv.

Thanks for listening.

I just got around to watching my taped episode of LOM and I’m pissed!! The show did feel like it was dragging a little, but it had so much potential. Great cast, I mean Gretchen Mol was gorgeous on this show and Harvey Keitel and everyone worked so well together. This coming just a couple days after watching the most recent episode of Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles and seeing Brian Austin Green and Charlie, which come to think of it might have been the guy who played Vic on LOM both got killed in real stupid ways. I now know why I tend not to get wrapped up in TV anymore, as soon as I find a show I like it disappears. I loved Eli Stone, and within the past few years there have been countless other shows that died before really having a fair chance. To name a few of the better ones, (i.e. most unusual) Conviction, Tru Calling, Invasion, Threshold, The Loop, etc. Either you wait it out and then have to pour through hours of DVD trying to figure out what the Hell is going on in LOST or you devote your time weekly to following a good show and have it cut off with either no ending or a lame ending. Totally off the wall I guess, but I do think that there should be another attempt at a Tales from the Crypt/Tales from the Darkside/Twilight Zone/The Outer Limits style show. I grew up on all of those, whether on reruns on through the ’90s with the Cryptkeeper and I think it has a place on TV. There is a strange lack of shows like that, I mean even Nickolodeon and Disney had their respective fright shows in the ’90s like Are You Afraid Of The Dark? and So Weird, oh and Eerie, Indiana. I have a son now and TV landscape is looking pretty bleak, I’m going through old shows and buying them on DVD now so that he won’t have to ask what a Thundercat was or what the heck is a Pirate of Dark Water.

LOM was a new type of show. It was a series but not one that will be around for years. Think of it as a twighlight zone mini series. The end still sucked ass though. I enjoyed it though. DUMB ASS ENDING THOUGH!

Hey, the Unusuals show will end at the end of this season. It is all a dream.

I CAN’T BELIEVE ABC CANCELED LIFE ON MARS!!! I started watching it from the second episode onward and what grabbed me was the unique premise, great ’70s background music and diverse and interesting characters played by good actors with good writing. I thought I had finally found another show to diligently watch from the wasteland that is network TV; the popular dreck and drivel of so-called talent shows like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars, medical dramas like Grey’s Anatomy and ER, etc. and actively recruited my family and friends to WATCH THIS SHOW because they were either kids or young adults in the early ’70s and I knew they would like it as much as I did! Watching Sam Tyler deal with the paradoxes of time travel, like counseling himself as a child at his mother’s behest or being shot after confronting his bad father was interesting and thought-provoking and that’s probably why the show didn’t make it.

I felt cheated when they wrapped up everything in the last 20 minutes of the series finale with the “spaceship sequence”. Gretchen Mol looked really weird but sexy with black hair and I had a hard time believing an almost 70-year-old Harvey Keitel could be a Space Cowboy-style astronaut on a seven-month-long mission to Mars. When ABC moved it from Thursday nights at 10:00 PM to Wednesdays at 10:00 after a strange ten-week hiatus, I was glad to see it return but didn’t know the show had been canceled until just a few weeks ago. The overwhelming consensus I’ve been reading in the blogosphere has been in favor of keeping the show so I wonder if they are giving those Nielsen ratings boxes to monkeys?? Maybe another network will pick up ABCs fumble of a quality show with legions of loyal fans the same way ABC picked up Scrubs after it was canceled on NBC. Good luck to the cast, crew and writers on this show as they are a class act! BRING BACK LIFE ON MARS!!!

man this really sucks i really liked the seris life on mars, and it had a good thing going it isn’t a thing that you shouldn’t end abruptly. The new series the unusuals sounds like its going to bomb worse than this show oddly did.

Life on Mars is a GREAT show. Are these networks executives nuts???? It causes people to think and use their imagination………remember those days when that was a fun thing to do. KEEP LIFE ON MARS ON!!!!

I cannot believe they are going to cancel Life on Mars!! What a bunch of idiots! There is nothing on TV like it, and what a cast! Harvey Kitel is a legend and plays a fantastic role on the series. I hope another network has the common sense to pick it up. There is not much on TV these days with the exception of lousy dancers, and singers…………..who cares about those shows they are a joke. Give me the real STARS!

The four shows you canceled are four shows I watched every week. So much for ABC. You really don’t know or care about the pulse of your audience.
Back to HBO, TNT, and FX.

First it was Boston Legal, then Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money, now Life on Mars — even Ugly Betty disappeared last Thursday. ABC finally got a good line up that brought me back as a regular viewer, now they are dumping my favorite shows in the crapper! It’s becoming clear why I find myself watching USA, TBS, Bravo, CBS and the Travel Channel (Anthony Bourdain is fine) more these days. ABC just doesn’t give a crap about it’s viewers.

I’m so glad to see so much outrage at ABC for canceling Life on Mars. Finally a show that is really enjoyable and has a great storyline with outstanding characters not to mention all the memories it invokes, plus it is not the reality show crap that is so prevalent nowadays. I did write to ABC on their website to let them know about my frustration with the cancelation, however I got a computer generated message in return. I will never watch another ABC show, the executives there in charge of scheduling and broadcasting need to go the way of the GM CEO.

Jeff St. John, I’m sorry, but ABC has already officially canceled the show. They canceled it a little earlier than usual to allow the writers to wrap up the story for the finale. At least you won’t be left with a cliffhanger.

I can’t believe Life On Mars may be canceled. Our household loves this show. Though we don’t watch it live it is setup to record every time it is on and we watch it every week. I really hate to see this one go. Sam Tyler’s story has us captivated and now the possibility of something happening with Annie. Come on don’t give up on this show, please.
