way before it's time

well that's the common line given by one of thos broadcasting companies when they decide to end a series/show due to lack of ratings response from the viewers.


yes folks, another series has come to an end. i just watched the series finale of a very enjoyable cop drama with a science fiction twist with excellent 70s soundtrack music. the 17th episode. of it's only season. shame right? and it's not even on malaysian tv (but now that it has been shutdown, Astro will be showing it soon!!) well to those who are not into watching downloaded shows, go ahead. give it a chance. see if you don't like it. bet you will love it!

Life on Mars is an american remake of a British series which won great acclaim in the UK. The story of a cop from 2008 who gets in an accident and wakes up in 1973 is a simple premise, which actually turned out some good 17 episodes.

but unfortunately like so many before this (re: Jericho, Journeyman, Arrested Development, The Black Donnellys, Dirty Sexy Money, Rome[only two seasons tsk tsk], etc etc etc) this series was not meant to last. Somehow strong storylines and good casting is worth naught compared to viewer ratings and revenue. SIGH!!

latest news is even shows with several season are in danger of being shown the dreaded finale curtain are like Chuck, Reaper, Sarah Connor Chronicles and Dollhouse. well lets see what happens along the way.
