Can American "Life on Mars" Be Saved? AFTER REMOVAL

UPDATE: YouTube REMOVED the original video-- I think I might have hit closer to home than they liked!! Head over to http://hosted.filefront.com/SailorSenmurv to see the full version (streaming for a limited time, downloadable until they try to yank that one too . . .)

The question we ALL asked . . . answered!

I happened upon the pre-air pilot for this new ABC adaptation of a BBC phenomenon . . . and decided to compare it for all you at home.

Now, I know this pilot was MASSIVELY retooled to make the new show what with casting changes and whatnot-- and should the final show change my opinions I will gladly remove this vid and post a new one. Let's just say, however, that I'm not holding my breath.

So, watch and enjoy! You can download the WHOLE thing without YouTube restrictions from my Filefront account: http://hosted.filefront.com/SailorSenmurv

So, what do you think? Am I off base? Dead on?

Is Gene Hunt awesome or what?

^_^

US Life on Mars was great... the ending is not all that good but overall the show was really good.

I dont know how good is the UK version but after watching the UK trailer its kinda weird and the US version just seems... i dont know... cooler

@mulalicanes I really didn't care much for the US version (To be fair, I wached the UK version first). It felt like a weak reboot (down to stealing lines of dialogue!) and rubbed me the wrong way. Still, there's room for all tastes, eh? Thanks for watching!

You also probably think that Ricky Hatton is a good boxer...

[sailorsenmurv]

To me, the only good boxer is Little Mac. :)

Seriously, don't get the reference at ALL, but thanks for watching!

OK THE TRUTH IS THAT LIFE ON MARS UK WAS BETTER THAN LIFE ON MARS US

I MEAN THE ENDING ON LOM US WAS DUMB AS HELL TRULLY IDIOTIC

what do you mean they were on a mission to mars

if i was sleeping for 3 months i would prefer to see porn in my dreams LOL

UK LOM is Excellent US LOM is just a load of "...great... soft... sissy... girlie... nancy... french... bender... Man-United supporting POOF!"

I'm British and I thought thev US version of the office exceeded the original.

Oh I wish they warned everyone before they cancelled it, I would have signed a petition to save it. I love it, watched the shows on my DVD that I bought, and wished it was back. Now I watch Detroit 187(which isn't as good, but it has Michael Imperioli as a cop in a different time) so I guess that will have to do. D: I miss this show!

i don't think the US voice over guy got the ' back in the nick of time ' joke

ABC version sucked my balls.
