So, one of the things i like to spend (waste) my time on is quality (if that exists) television. Most people who know me however, know that I do not watch TV on TV. I have an app called TVDemon (which is a whole other blog post/website/sourceforge project in itself). It downloads the shows i like and transcodes them into iPod and iPhone compatible files. Then I simply watch them on a TV or my iPhone when i get a chance (sans commercials of course).
Among the shows you would expect a geek like myself to watch (Heroes, Lost, Supernatural, etc...) I was directed to a show called Life on Mars by my cousin (also known as The Relapse King). Its a cop show that takes place in 1973 he says.. Only, the main character (Sam Tyler) is from 2008. Cool, I like time travel, I like the 70's... Oh boy, is that show out there?! yes.
I can tell from watching it that the writers/producers did not stop for one second to think about what people would think of this show. They wrote it for themselves.. Wrote something great and truly creative (yes, i do know there was a UK version prior as well, but it aint like this). It is so bizarre and out of the box, its nuts.
Anyway, long story short.. The show got canceled. I watched the series finale this evening and i gotta say... It was fantastic! Easily one of the best endings to any TV show ever. So, watch the show, its worth your time.
Also, I'll be honest.. The ending of the show? I didnt even see it coming... not for a second.
