LOM is one of the better shows on ABC. I've watched it from the beginning. Occasionally, a story would sag but it has remained interesting enough to keep me riveted to my TV ... until now. I'll watch the season finale, and I know I'll cry. I'm sad to see it leave the US. The actors were great. The show deserves better.

Its almost hard to believe that Life on mars is being cancelled but then again the way the channels are being run these days a quality show has no chance. Its bad enough they hurt there own shows with erratic air times. I hate the way your favorite show dissapears for months at a time now and its not even during the summer months. Then you have to hope it picks up its original viewers when it might be on a different day or time slot.
I guess iTsjust another creative show witha excellent cast being tossed out and who knows maby bring on a another greys anatomy spin off? These guys should be fired...

NO! You can't cancel this show...it's one of the best on TV right now. It's because of the title...people don't know what it is...they think it's a Schi-fi. It's good for teens and those born after 1980 to really see how life was in the 70s. It's very well done and better than all those other predictable detective shows and not to mention a refreshing reprieve from those reality shows. Folks, this depiction of the 70s is reality for all who lived it! Excellent, please KEEP IT ON THE AIR! Give it another chance/season.

The BBC version was leaps and bounds better; after that I just couldn't downgrade to the American version, especially since they didn't even bother creating a unique story (i.e. "The Office") and instead made the mistake of trying to do a word-for-word interpretation of something I'd already seen, so of course making comparisons is gonna be unavoidable. To me, the actor playing Sam Tyler in the US version is guilty of very wooden acting, and all the characters in general have lost the personality present in the UK version. I guess this is a case where ignorance would've been bliss, but anybody looking for closure: do yourself a favor and watch the BBC version from start to finish.

ABC strikes again. I gave up on ABC years ago after they burned me yet again with "Murder One". I did not start "Desperate Housewives" or "Lost" or "Grey's Anatomy" for this very reason. When "Life on Mars" came along I thought, albeit quite tepidly, that I would give ABC another shot because they have stuck with these other shows eventhough they have, in typical ABC fashion, tried to kill them off as well. Remember the successful "George Lopez" show was not renewed in favor of the ABC owned "Caveman" series from Geico."Mars" was not doing poorly enough to cancel at this point. Greed rules the day.

Great writing, terrific cast. I guess we need more Dancing with the Stars.

That's it. I swear if they cancel Life I'm done with television. Maybe I'm cursed. All my favorite shows get cancelled. Fringe, Life and Bones better watch out.

BBC America is starting the "sequel" to the British version, called Ashes to Ashes, sometime soon, I've seen ads for it.

I'm starting to think I should only start watching shows once their first season is over and done with. Because seriously, this is about the fifth show in five years I've gotten completely engrossed in, only to see it canceled in its first season!

Now I'm depressed.

Very disappointing. Had great writing and excellent acting.
