let's see - a happy ending [the difference between the US ending - MUCH better], they end up on Mars, our hero doesn't try and off himself. yeah, baby ! it only would have been better if Sam went for Windy after the 450'th time she threw herself at him. oh well, can't have everything....
I actually liked the ending and before anyone bites my head off, I'm Australian and I also like the UK version. I'm happy that they didn't do a carbon copy of the ending because, if they did, what's the point? Why not just watch the Brithish one? This ending also really made me think, is the ending literal and the shoe is just symbolism or did he fall deeper into the coma? And, if literal it also works. It changes the message to one about father's and son's. I loved the "Dad" line.
That was just SO WEAK! I guess I should have expected that from an American remake. Thinking about it I wouldn't have be surprised if they had woken up in an episode of the The Colbys.
I can do a better female computer voice and I'm a bloke. And injecting dodgy politics in it? WTF? As if any Obama would be president years from now after all the current one has done to wreck the USA!
I thought this show was awesome but it only lasted a couple years. I didn't even know it was British first. Don't hate on me because I'm an American. Believe me, I hate what this country has done as much as you guys.
@whatever3210 I think that's the main problem - Americans (the TV producers) taking British films, doing remakes, and not even having the decency to credit the original.
(continued) Unfortunately, even the BBC is starting to copy this annoying trend of axing good shows (Outcast, anyone?) due to ratings fetishes. Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes is a rare success story, in an age when the BBC is often unwilling to take risks. Most good series today are rarely more than 3/4 episodes long. Public television is about providing a service, not generating profits.
Fuck you John Birt, may you burn in hell for your crimes against the license fee-payer.
This is what commercial television does. Producers panicking and cancelling shows due to 'low' ratings always leaves fans furious at being left in the lurch. So now storylines are often wrapped up prematurely to prevent accusations of leaving stories unfinished, even if it impacts negatively on the original story.
[zombieradar] Harry Potter, nearly all of America knows about it and all of them love it. Even the half of America that is braindead still claps and gurns when they hear the theme music. The entire cast was British you mugs. Leave us alone.
This is very stupid. Can't believe it ended this way. Glad I gave in and watched this while I was 4 episodes in. It seemed interesting at first but I read some bad reviews. I see why now.
In all fairness, would you rather have a shot for shot remake? Granted the cop-out, it was all a dream in space thing, was an awkward way to end it. Plus they addressed the idea that he prefers the 70s in a much more simplistic way (showed him the consequences of returning with his relationship with Annie) without the intended suicide. I'd also like to think Space Annie's neuro-sim was the 70s world that Sam crashed into.
is funny i just watched the end of ashes to ashes and the fact that is so awsome makes this even more shitty.
also, there is a spanish remake of the series, is calld la chica de ayer ( the girl from yesterday) is not as good as the original but sure as hell is better that this crap
pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you took a great show and pissed on the bones... my GOD!! DID THEY ACTUALLY WAIT FOR ASHES TO ASHES???!!! TYPICAL YANKS, RUIN A GREAT STORY...ITS ABOUT DEATH...!!!!!!!! GENE, AND SAM AND BOLLY KNICKERS (DRAKE)AND CHRIS AND SHAZ AND RAY!!!!!!!!!! FUCKING SEPTIC TANKS..LEAVE OUR TV ALONE FOR FOOKS SAKE!
What the fuck is with American television and their crazy obsession with the moon, NASA and space? Seriously, as a British person, I admit America are excellent with animated comedy, but stuff like this, what a mistake, it's corny beyond belief. Every remake of a British programme they attempt at, always fails, appart from the U.S office, which doesn't even interest me in the first place. I love you guys, but please sort it out America!
@SmackBear2SmckCat <_< That's pretty dickish. Have you seen half the shows that air currently in the U.S.? If you haven't, you have little place to talk.

@mrbolovski I was told by a friend, roughly a year ago, to check out Life On Mars. I viewed as many episodes as I could on youtube. It became my favorite show. It didn't talk down to me, didn't insult my intelligence, and had no religious undertones. When it was announced for the US, I thought "GREAT! A LoM that uses the music more popular in America! It should work, hell look at the Office!".
I quit after the second episode. We shat all over LoM. Sorry. :(
Oh my god. I'm so glad I never followed this show. Whoever wrote this atrocity against the television-viewing population of my country should be hanged, and with no kind of drop that would allow for a merciful neck-snap.
I don't know anything about the original series, but I recall hearing that it was good, so that's enough to tell me that it wasn't anything like this.
Jason O'mara was a better Sam Tyler,Harvey Keitel was better Gene Hunt,Micheal Impeiroli better RAY etc. U.S. had a better cast and Plot but UK's ending was way better and makes sense, this show was a waste to just end like this! i watched both series,i prefer the U.S. series but the UK ending!!
The UK version was gritty, suspenseful and the ending left you to actually THINK/debate what could have happened to him, it wasn't just handed to you on a plate like this. My week dragged on until I could watch the next episode and my heart sunk when it finished (the same with Ashes to Ashes too).
The US version was bland, more family friendly (it didn't need to be) and the ending...?! I was told in primary school (age 10) to NEVER finish a story with 'it was all a dream'!!
so why didn't the American version do the Ashes to Ashes series it had a much better ending than this I think they should show the original British series over in the U.S I am sure they will say this will be alot better I mean the American do speak English so why translate it into American whether its in Manchester or Newyork
I couldn't even watch until the end because it is so awful. I have NEVER done that for any youtube video that was 12 minutes or less .I am a massive fan of the UK series which was a genuine philosophical masterpiece.. The one saving grace this US episode has, is that it is so far removed from the REAL Life On Mars that I won't compare it in any way. It has been said here already and I will say it again. Dear America, keep your hands off British TV.

When there is a sucsessful and brilliant show made in America, we air it here in Britain. When there is a sucsessful and brilliant show made in Britain, America choose to remake it, then air their shitty version. What gets me the most is that, from what I understand, most American viewers disliked the remaking of the show! It's absurd!
@carameltoff I will point out two exceptions: The Office and Being Human. Both had the original writers and at least in The Office's case Ricky Gervais co-produced it.
@Kharandis I haven't seen either so I shall take you're word for it. I am a huge fan of Being Human so I would be incredibly disappointed if it had been ruined like so many decent British shows.
@sprent2922 Just because America didn't fuck up EVERY single decent tv show we make doesn't make what I'm saying invalid. I think the American reboot of Tourchwood completely altered the tone of the show, but that is up to personal opinion; I still watched it. As I said before, we broadcast good American shows here. Heroes, V, Glee, Chuck the list goes on and on. But you can name two shows, one of which is a spin-off of the other, that America braodcast over there. Great.
Oh. My. God. How horrible is that ending. I'm so not gonna watch the US version. Not that I ever consider doing it anyway but.. They should pass a law so that American people are not allowed to ruin wonderfull things like Life On Mars.
Is it possible to like both? Things are always changed when they are remade. Would you expect a japanese version to say "Bloody hell"? If they hadn't changed it, why would they remake it? Besides, this wasn't the ending they wanted. It got canceled.
@Kharandis If it's going to be so different then why remake it in the first place? There was no need! Surely you understand that this was a brilliant piece of British television that Britain was proud to have produced, then an American television company came along and turned out this piece of shit that practically made a mockery of the original.
I don't get it. Why people are saying shit about this show? It's a fine show, I really liked it. What the fuck is the problem about US making their version of an UK show? WHY THE FUCK DO YOU ALL JUST SAY EVERYTHING US DOES IS SHIT? I'm brazilian, btw, so I'm like... standing on this fight from outside. The british here are just beeing assholes. It's a good show. If it's better or not from the UK version... WHO THE FUCK CARES?! JUST WATCH OR DON'T WATCH IT, DUMBASSES
@undudster Agreed i perfered this ending than the one to something like lost because at least this one summarizes everything instead of leaving things unhashed.
@Dazofcaving123 You should be honored, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Be happy that the U.K. produces stories that people actually want to share.
I first saw the original Life On Mars, and then this American version. I think that the original ending was better, but this was a fun ending too. I like that it's different.
I saw this last year. I was stoned out of my mind on marijuana and when I realized he was dreaming, sleeping on the way over to Mars, it blew my mind so hard I cried.
:o.... I liked the show.... HAY! though before you say any thing its just my opinion I thought the ending was a little trippy... but it made sence and endings are hard you know not every one will be happy but all I do is think of all the joy the seiries brought me and well I think it was worth it maby not compered to the UK version but I aint seen that one... which is strange considering I'm english :3
"If you manage to find genetic DNA and a cure for cancer". This is dialogue is absolute shite.
1. All DNA is genetic you retard.
2. If there is DNA on Mars, what makes you think it can cure cancer? You're spending trillions of dollars on what's probably going to be wild goose chase.
@JediSlayer22 No, he's not wasting anything because it's FICTION, dude... what the heck happened to everybody? Back in the days people would see science fiction movies that were like impossible to happen and still apreciate (is this word correct?) it... Now people question every little detail on every little scene of every little show like they're all scientist! what the fuck
What......the......fcuk? Iam so, so glad I live in the UK, and get to watch real, grity dramas which actually reflect real life.....where there is so rarely a "Happy Ever After".
It was an okay Ending but too explanatory i mean you don't have to explain every little thing i liked the Mars landing it was a nice touch but the only reason it was named Life On Mars in the first place was because it was a famous song in 1973 and because of how strange it was he Sam Tyler might as well have been on Mars Yeah but for an American Remake not bad but it isn't a Scratch on the Original Series Also those Spacesuits Suck. But thank god they won't be able to destroy Ashes To Ashes.
wots pisses me off is life on mars uk ad the best ending i av ever seen , how cn usa think this one compares at all ? juat like the office take a good idea n make it cheesy , how bout just showing our tvs shows insted of trying to make there own crappy version
@MEMARKA I agree. This remake really pisses me off though. American producers wrote something completely different, and it was ridiculus! Being of the US I watched the re-make first, and hated it, unaware of the UK version, which I later found. I Refused to watch it becuase I hated the US version so much, but my friend convinced me otherwise. I fell in love with the whole damn thing. The writing is amazing, and I was so excited about John Simm being in it as well; he is a brilliant actor. <3
This was the worst thing I have seen since pictures of the Hiroshima bomb aftermath. Only this is way more unforgivable.
If I ruled the world, the makers of this show would strung up and stoned to death.
As a result of the last 10:35min of this show, I now HATE all American's. Even YOU (random American reader who had nothing to do with the making of this show).
It may sound like I'm joking but I'm not, I'm really this angry!!
Although we all know why they had to dumb it down for the yanks.
Oh dear....I watched it again still bad! Gene Hunt is from Manchester -Sam is from Hyde (it exists its a division of the GMP) Why are the yanks allowed to do this to classic stuff? Ugh.....Can you hear me Major Tom?
I can stop thinking about such a rubbich end and I'm starting to understand why in the UK version, Sam commits suicide. Maybe he just saw the US ending and decided to kill himself because he couldn't bear such bullshits... Anyway Life on Mars US is quite a good parody. What, this is not a parody?? oO
This US show was personal to me... took me back to the 70s and lots of memories. It was an enjoyable, emotional and over the top trip to the last. I didn't live in the UK and so that version wouldn't mean much to me... leave us with our version and go watch something else and stop complaining! I was so glad for this cast and the music and that I could buy the DVD set, a rare thing for me to do. I was so sad to see it end, but what a way to go!
well that was fucking awful. It basically means that the entire series up to the point that they woke up was irrelevant... BBC version is so much better
i find it funny why american producers cant just show British dramas in america instead of rewriting them to create a massive pile of ball sack that dosent ever make sense and for some strange reason waters down the meaning of the story. i find it very hypercritical that lets be honest americans are often more open and confident then most british however they seem to have this weird sensitive attitude towards television when society in america itself is just as controversial as any other.
I didn't see this show when it was on tv. I borrowed it from the library. I loved it! it was the first show in a long time I would love owning. after searching around the internet I realized it was originaly a uk offering. I won't bitch or complain about either verision. They're both great.Since I haven't seen it yet here,THANK YOU BBC! Even though ABC (US) changed the show,It's still a great show and even greater music.That's what makes the show.So stop the fighting,It's just a show not a war!
i didnt like this ending, i felt it was pointless following all these leads about who his father was, his new sense of life, annie. . etc. come to find the ending literally broke all ties with everything. iono how u can love this ending, but i can understand how u can accept this ending. i havent seen the uk ver. bt i will check it out. i can't understand why they would fool the audience. its good to fool an audience bt to literally make everything not matter was jus horrible.
Oh my goodness- are you being serious? They have the opportunity to create a fantastic ending- no doubt they were in talks with the UK writers and were probably told the actual ending- and they chose this? What a load of crap! This is an embarrassment!
:D David Bowie wants me to move with him to Spain and raise praying mantis'! I swear I love that line! I loved this series, and loved especially Michael Imperioli and Harvey Keitel. I haven't seen the UK version to judge it, but so far I love the US version.
Though I dislike the UK version for several reasons, I like it more than this one. This version is a bit cringeworthy in terms of connecting the dream to reality.
it has to be said i cried at the US version when i watched this.... with laughter!
i 'm sorry, but seriously? this ending is a really big let down and quite predictable considering the TITLE of th programme- i just hope that if/ when the american version of bad girls is created (if it is anymore) i hope it too is not ruined.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
So exactly how did the Sam Tyler in the BBC version survive a jump off a high rise to go back into a coma and live in his dreams? At least the American version is possible, credible and more rooted in reality. When you folks can win a war without our help, or be a big player in world politics without our support or build a car with a decent electrical system, then critize the greatest nation to ever grace the face of the Earth. People still dream of coming here, can you say the same??
@TroyCarm He didn't survive! The whole 1973-world is a plane of existence between life and death. (Like Limbo or Purgatory.) So by commiting suicide he re-enters that world.
And yes, people DO also dream of coming here! Considering yourself some sort of superior "World Police" and thinking that Earth mainly consists of the USA is simple arrogance on your part! Neither one is superior. Not USA nor Europe.
In general, your TV shows are ok - but this one sucks and the ending is plain stupid.
@SonataFanatica I don't think the American writers could abide by the suicide ending of the UK version so they changed it to something nicer and more family based viewing.
@SonataFanatica please don't think he speaks for all of us here in the US. I preferred the UK version mostly because John Simm is just such a great actor
@TroyCarm YOU FUCKING STUPID BIG HEADED YANK, god forbeid this never happons but we get the whole of europe to take you yanks out we could do it so shut the fuck up you always make crap remakes of our shows hundreds of them oh and your speaking our language you twat think on that as well motherfucker.
@TroyCarm Looks like somebody's a little /too/ proud of their country. It's time to unbury your head from the ground and accept that your country has problems like everybody else.
@TroyCarm as i said on the other video, yes, we can. go to any field or cafe with a polish-english dictionary and you'll see. also, who said he survived?
@TroyCarm I'm much more proud of being American, when I don't have some cantankerous, insult-hurling, jerk representing what is supposed to pass for patriotism. Yes, we're an awesome country, and yes, we have huge flaws. I love it, and I see no reason to represent it by levying undeserved insults as a means by which to bolster My own appearance. One's actions are a superior measure. You, sir, should please consider that decorum, sadly not at present, also made us great.
@TroyCarm Oh please, you beat the Nazi's in WW2 and ever since then have been bombing brown people armed with sticks and rocks in an attempt to get the same boner you did back then. You live in a country full of materialism and greed, America ... FUCK YEAH!
@TroyCarm Actually buddy, American cars pale in comparison to Japanese engineering, and before you fire off that 'them Japs only rip off American ideas', it's pretty clear they aren't ripping off too many ideas from you lot. And your comments on the War betray an obvious lack of schooling and general wisdom of the world. Just because the self-parody which is the USA keeps sticking its pretentious nose in other people's windows, doesn't mean it's invited or required.
@TroyCarm lol Dude I cant believe you have connect LOM to WW2. Life on Mars was an amazing series, the US nor could any other country beat the original. So it's not about being a mindless patriotic, it's about quality and from what I've seen in this version it is lacking just that.
@TroyCarm Yes. Shitloads of people dream of coming to the UK. That's why they're stowing away on lorries and ships to cross the Channel and then forging passports and other documents just to try and stay in the country. Ironically, Americans are descended from the Britons that everyone hated. After the Restoration, the Puritans fled to America because nobody agreed with their batshit way of life and their insistence on banning anything remotely entertaining such as the theatre.
Hey, have some respect guys. While it may not be your "preferred" version you shouldn't ridicule it. Lots of people worked hard to put the US version of "Life on Mars" together and do bear in mind that they only had a few episodes to wrap up the series. Who knows what would've happened had it been given the chance for a second season, like the UK version. This was a show that brought some intelligent programming to an increasingly limited lineup of stupid reality and game shows.
"So what we'll do, at the end, we'll have these characters all waking up on a spaceship in the future and they have a little chat and then then get off, so they actually ARE on MARS!! Huh? Huh?"
You know I'm conviced if the endings had been reversed and ukSam landed on mars, you'd all be clapping and back slapping each other and saying how that ending was superior to usSam's jumping off a roof to his "death"
@NYCpizzaz no way. this ending sucked because it lacked imagination not because it was the second one. It took the title too literally and it just simply happened. All in all it looked like it was just tacked on to the end of a series in which the writers had run out of ideas
This ending is so crap. The UK Life on Mars ends spectacularly. This ending is designed for idiot americans who cant understand how a show called life on mars can have no connection to space. Its designed to appeal to all the idiots who couldnt understand subtlety if it smashed them in the face with a bottle. WTF was with all the crap with a Gene Hunt, thats them fitting a story to somehow connect with characters already created by superior british actors. By the Way Im australian so no bias.
Idea: It's not like the UK was forced to watch the show, so shut the fuck up.

I'm glad I didn't waste my time watching the whole thing. Did the makers not feel the American viewers could handle an ambiguous ending to the series?
Anyone who wants to know what was really happening (in the original) should watch Ashes to Ashes.

Jason O'mara was a better Sam Tyler,Harvey Keitel was better Gene Hunt,Micheal Impeiroli better RAY etc. U.S. had a better cast and Plot but UK's ending was way better and makes sense, this show was a waste to just end like this! i watched both series,i prefer the U.S. series but the UK ending!!

The UK version was gritty, suspenseful and the ending left you to actually THINK/debate what could have happened to him, it wasn't just handed to you on a plate like this. My week dragged on until I could watch the next episode and my heart sunk when it finished (the same with Ashes to Ashes too).
The US version was bland, more family friendly (it didn't need to be) and the ending...?! I was told in primary school (age 10) to NEVER finish a story with 'it was all a dream'!!

so why didn't the American version do the Ashes to Ashes series it had a much better ending than this I think they should show the original British series over in the U.S I am sure they will say this will be alot better I mean the American do speak English so why translate it into American whether its in Manchester or Newyork

I couldn't even watch until the end because it is so awful. I have NEVER done that for any youtube video that was 12 minutes or less .I am a massive fan of the UK series which was a genuine philosophical masterpiece.. The one saving grace this US episode has, is that it is so far removed from the REAL Life On Mars that I won't compare it in any way. It has been said here already and I will say it again. Dear America, keep your hands off British TV.

Heroes, V, Glee, Chuck the list goes on and on. But you can name two shows, one of which is a spin-off of the other, that America braodcast over there. Great.

I Refused to watch it becuase I hated the US version so much, but my friend convinced me otherwise. I fell in love with the whole damn thing. The writing is amazing, and I was so excited about John Simm being in it as well; he is a brilliant actor. <3

So exactly how did the Sam Tyler in the BBC version survive a jump off a high rise to go back into a coma and live in his dreams? At least the American version is possible, credible and more rooted in reality. When you folks can win a war without our help, or be a big player in world politics without our support or build a car with a decent electrical system, then critize the greatest nation to ever grace the face of the Earth. People still dream of coming here, can you say the same??

@TroyCarm He didn't survive! The whole 1973-world is a plane of existence between life and death. (Like Limbo or Purgatory.) So by commiting suicide he re-enters that world.
And yes, people DO also dream of coming here! Considering yourself some sort of superior "World Police" and thinking that Earth mainly consists of the USA is simple arrogance on your part! Neither one is superior. Not USA nor Europe.
In general, your TV shows are ok - but this one sucks and the ending is plain stupid.

@TroyCarm Yes. Shitloads of people dream of coming to the UK. That's why they're stowing away on lorries and ships to cross the Channel and then forging passports and other documents just to try and stay in the country. Ironically, Americans are descended from the Britons that everyone hated. After the Restoration, the Puritans fled to America because nobody agreed with their batshit way of life and their insistence on banning anything remotely entertaining such as the theatre.

Hey, have some respect guys. While it may not be your "preferred" version you shouldn't ridicule it. Lots of people worked hard to put the US version of "Life on Mars" together and do bear in mind that they only had a few episodes to wrap up the series. Who knows what would've happened had it been given the chance for a second season, like the UK version. This was a show that brought some intelligent programming to an increasingly limited lineup of stupid reality and game shows.
