Best show ABC has…(Had) on tv. Great characters and well written also liked the music, exciting each episode not slow and drawn out like most shows. I think you will regret dropping LOM. Thanks for one year of a good show really going to miss it.

I’m looking forward to tonight. Its good to know that the suits at ABC liked the show enough to give it a proper send off. I’m actually writing an article for my school paper about it and how other great shows get canceled. I can’t wait to get the DVD.

We’ve loved every episode of Mars (please don’t let Sam jump off a roof) and are greatly saddened that it is ending. We also loved Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money. TV just becomes more boring with stupid reality shows all the time.

Life on Mars was the best thing to come to television in a long time. I am definitely going to miss it.

I’m not sure if I should love ABC or hate them. On one hand, they’ve given me Lost, allowed this show to come to a proper end, gave Scrubs a proper final season, offered one to The New Adventures of Old Christine, and provided me with some great hours of Grey’s Anatomy and Brothers and Sisters. But, on the other hand, they cancelled Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daises ON THE SAME DAY, took the shows off the air instead of allowing the remaining episodes to air, and messed with Grey’s Anatomy with the whole Hann debacle. I never watched Life On Mars, the UK one was enough for me, but I’m glad to see that they gave it a chance to end in a nice way, instead to letting the writers end with the clifhanger they previously planned.

I have already set my TiVo.

I watched the first episode, caught bits & pieces of the next few, and half-watched the last 3 or 4 episodes. So, about the only thing I’m not familiar at all are the middle episodes.

I think I’ve seen just enough to be just curious enough to see what the ending is. Does the main character get back to 2008? Did he really time travel? Was it a dream, a hallucination, a coma-induced vision, a high-tech virtual reality experiment, a Cylon projection, something else entirely? I admit I want to know at least that much even if I never see another episode again in reruns or DVDs.

Kudos to ABC for allowing a show to have a beginning, middle, and end — even if it was for only one season and even if it was by accident. It could be worse; they could have just dropped it without closure. Plus, maybe some shows just aren’t meant to be dragged out forever.
