I like it. Seems to be a good show, and I'm with you, I might get hooked too. Best thing about the 70's??? ou sucked then too.
One thing it had going for it, there was nothing else on TV at that time. Unless you wanted to watch baseball, ER is still on TV? Was that John Stamos? I was cleaning and doing laundry, it was entertaining, not sure if I will get hooked.
Show was ok. Gretchen Moll, with the blonde hair in wings? Yeah, she was a fox (that's what we said in the 70s, right?) And the soundtrack of 70s tunes was pretty sweet. I'll catch it again.
Funny story involving this show. To preface, I live on a block in NYC that is generally busier than most because of the discount leather and textile shops. So I wake up one morning after a pretty heavy happy hour the night before and drag my *** downstairs to head out for work. I see through the window in the front door that all of the shops were already rocking. This seemed weird because they usually aren't open that early. But I didn't think twice about it. So I walk outside, lean over to light a smoke and I see an early 70's hippy waving me off. I was kinda pissed and already thinking of ways to tell him that i didn't have an extra cigarette. Don't f**k with me today. But still half drunk, I look up to meet my match. There's whole block full of hippies and Gretchen Mol staring angrily at me. About that time, I hear, "Cut. Dammit. Cut." I quickly realized that I had just stumbled on to a film set. But the moments before that realization and the twisted scenarios running through my head of how I was going to fight off 50 pissed off hippies AND Gretchen Mol are the stuff dreams are made of. So the moral of this story is: if you haven't played out a scenario in your head where you beat up hippies and go home with Gretchen Mol, you really should do so. That is how I was introduced to Life on Mars. The show wasn't bad either.
I don't think this one is going to stick in my rotation. I've give it another try or two but I wasn't too impressed.
I had no idea who Gretchen Mol is so I did a search for her on Google images and there are lots of nude shots of her out there. Just thought I would throw that in as a PSA.
I didn't catch the BBC version, but have heard it was good (less than 20 episodes, though). ****************spoilers, I guess***************** I think it was pretty obvious that the guy is in a coma, and that's why he was "transported" back to 1973. I read where that is how they ended the BBC version, so I'm not sure how long this show can last... Oh, and Gretchen Mol is teh hot...
The nekid hippie chick neighbor seems entertaining, hope she doesn't become annoying. Wonder if he eats pot laced lasagna? Anyway, another strong showing last night, I'm just hoping they end it before it gets too convoluted. Anyone else think they would have been better of ditching the whole time travel thing and just created a 70's cop show? Love seeing the ozone destroying muscle cars btw
