LIFE ON MARS SENT INTO ORBIT
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 (08), but has not seen the same success as its U.K. counterpart, which has won BAFTA and Emmy Awards.
On Monday (02Mar09), 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 (Apr09).

Unbelievable!!!! ABC yanks the one show in the past 10 years or so (on their
network, anyway) worth watching, and yet America's Funniest Home Videos just
keeps going on and on and on?!?!?!!! What the hell? ABC, YOU HAVE HARVEY
KEITEL--HARVEY F-ING KEITEL!!! Just in case you missed that-HARVEY KEITEL!
Not to mention the rest of the fine cast. This show was top-notch, and even
better than its British predecessor. What a shame the American public keeps
eating up the drek that is reality TV. I am actually amazed that Lost made it
past its first season, as it contains no dancing celebs or swapped wives.
America, you are by and large stupid. I guess there was only room for one show
that makes folks think on this network. Lost and LOM seemed like perfect
complements to one another, but what do I know? If it weren't for Scrubs, I'd
never tune in your network again. It's no wonder the cable nets are kicking
the big four's asses. Hopefully, HBO or Showtime will pick up this amazing
series, as a quickie ending is not fitting for a show of this calibre.
Sincerely, A Very Disappointed Life On Mars Fan in Ohio.
Life on Mars is the best new series on telivision. It is my favorite Broadcast
television series. I am disgusted that it is cancelled. I'm going back to FOX.
At least when NBC had fan support for their gem "SNL", they got the message and
figured out a way to get out a second season. Life on Mars has the best acting
and the cleverist scripts on TV. What a loss. The decision makers in this case
won't last long because they are not competent to judge what the public wants.
That's why broadcast television is doomed. It is aimed, I guess at a moronic
demography. Either that or it's the desicion makers who are the morons. What a
bummer!
