Life on Mars was cancelled? I'm shocked, really. I love that show. I enjoyed the british version more but maybe because I watched their entire season in one day back to back well before the American copy aired.

>>I think one of the reasons why the good Brit-Coms are so good is that when they run out of ideas for the show, they stop. It's a little crazy-making for those of us who were brought up that a 'full season' was 26 weeks (then cut to 13) to run into a 'full season' of a Brit-Com being 4 shows.
