Except that they both involve some sort of time shift, the similarities are pretty scarce.

The pilot was pretty good and I thought the Gretchen Moll character was interesting. Harvey Keitel is one of my fav actors but I thought his character a stereotype. Overall, a better than average show that I hope will stay that way. It is good to see a cop show that doesn't have the Law and Order moniker.

Not true. He is convinced that he is there for a specific reason. So it was with Quantum Leap- he was always there to do something specific. And while Marty McFly went back by accident, he ended up changing things for the better.

Time travel, although a continuing source of intrigue and ideas, is actually somewhat limiting. When I write my time travel script, it will be devoid of sentimental notions of changing the future. My character will go back and buy Microsoft stock at the outset and sell it before 1999.

Life on Mars/ Whoopie
This weeks episode had Whoopie Goldberg on as a DJ. This is a pretty good show and Whoopie was cool. Her part reminded me of the DJ in the movie Warriors. In the movie, the Warriors were blamed for killing another gang leader and the DJ was keeping all the gangs up to date on their location as they were trying to get back to Coney Island. Whoopie was kind of doing the same thing. Her voice and the way they filmed the episode seemed like it was right from the movie.
Time to watch the movie again

I have watched the three available episodes online and like this show. The one nit I have to pick is, why does Tyler keep making the same mistake of acting as if he knows certain characters that he knows in the future, relative to 1973? This seems to be a recurring theme in a lot of time travel movies.

I just finished watching the original BBC series. It’s a fantastic show. The ABC series, though well acted is Life on Mars light. The BBC series is faster moving and darker.
Some parts didn’t translate well for the American audience like heading off soccer (football) riots being turned into Hippies being suspected in the murder of a gay Vietnam vet. Also missing is the creepy BBC card girl and blackouts effecting Sam whole world. The later ABC episodes were an improvement on the first ones and I understand they have ordered four more. Maybe ABC will catch up and move to a better time slot.

 Surprising though is Keitel's lack of energy. I have a feeling that he will be gone if if the show continues another season. He is just kind of lethargic and does not sell his lines. Still, I am hanging with it. The show has a good vibe and and the music rotation is great. They keep pulling out one-hit wonders for background. I don't think I'd heard this one since the mid 70's. I definitely had forgotten it but knew every word and where I was back then - B.W. Stevenson - My Maria

The US version starts here next week, looking forward to Harvey Keitel in the Gene Hunt character, looks like a good call to me
