Last night I finished re-watching Life On Mars (both UK series and the US series) and hence I have got very little to watch at the moment.

Is the UK series different from the US series? My boyfriend and I loved that show and were very sad that it was canceled.

I prefered the UK series. Harvey Kietel wasn't the best at playing Gene Hunt. Although watching the US series through a second time, he did grow on me a bit more.

The story line in both was mostly the same, although it was interesting to see how the US series handled the IRA story line and other such Uk specific topics.

The twist at the end of the US series was weak... the actual ending up on Mars bit. Completely different to how it ended in the UK. But then the UK one didn't end and span off into the Ashes to Ashes series (same idea but set in the 80's with a different character instead of Sam).

If you were really into the US series I would recommend downloading both seasons of the UK one. Well worth watching. And maybe even the first season of Ashes to Ashes, the second season of Ashes wasn't as good.

we didnt like the US series at all. the brit series was soooo much better.

If you looking for funny british Monty Python style humor well grab if you can Faulty Towers..Thats with John Cleese and if you like his style of humor well he is absolutely on the wild/crazy at his best..

I guess I'll throw in my 2 cents. Two shows I'd highly recommend are 1. Weeds and 2. Bones.

Weeds is a dram-edy on Showtime here in the US about a Suburban mother of 2, recently widowed, who tries to make ends meet by becoming a drug-dealer. The cast of the show is top-notch. It just wrapped up its 5th season. I just picked up the first 3 seasons on blu-ray.

Bones is a good ensemble drama in its 5th season about an FBI forensic team and an FBI agent (David Borneaz (from Buffy and Angel)). It does a good job of keeping itself light while showing pretty good stories. Wouldn't adise watching it while eating, though. Sometimes the crime scenes are a little graphic.

NCIS
CSI (the original, not miami or NY)
Scrubs
How I met Your Mother
The West Wing

shows to watch back to back to back for the best effect
24
Lost


If you ever watched and liked 'the west wing' go find the series 'studio 60 on the sunest strip'. It only lasted one season and has 1/2 the cast from west wing, plus matthew perry and 3-4 other notable actors. Great writing, but didnt hold up to what the masses wanted.

sounds good... might try add the west wing to the download list...

ive just watched the 1st 2 episodes of the new stargate universe series, and liking it so far.
if you like the others (SG1) (SG Atlantis) your def gonna like this

[Leshe4ka]

In my opinion Lost the best serial for all history of TV.
I with impatience wait for the sixth season!

[Fadingtoblack]

Ahhh Lost, how to stuff around season after season and not really achieve anything - second only to Smallville in that regard


They got back on track a bit last season though, so I'll be glad to finally see the 'final' season, and they can PROVE they knew what they were doing this whole time, and that they weren't just making it up as they went along
