Jasonomara_lifeonmars_240 ABC's "Life on Mars" has its series finale on Wednesday -- which is a good deal earlier than its creators had hoped. Fans of the show can at least take comfort in the fact that executive producers Josh Appelbaum, Scott Rosenberg and Andre Nemec have had an ending in mind all along.

Tomskerritt Anyone catch HBO's newest offering, Eastbound & Down, last night? Thoughts? There were a few good laughs, it's definitely got a Will Ferrell feel to it.

Anyway, today, a quick Q&A touching on Brothers & Sisters, Grey's Anatomy, Life on Mars and more. Plus, a 24 treat and the winner of Friday's Terminator contest...

Zachgilford Breaking news: The Hills isn't completely fake. On Wednesday, I went to a private Epic Records showcase to see this new Irish band, The Script, and you won't believe who was working the event. Audrina. I mean, the whole thing was being filmed, so maybe it was just an elaborate set up for the show, but she did pass out CDs to the small crowd before cameras rolled, so... yeah, I don't know. Anyway, today: Friday Night Lights, United States of Tara, Life on Mars, Big Love, Lost, Ugly Betty, The Office and 90210, topped with a little David Silver time. Enjoy.

Jasonomara There are few new shows this Fall that I'm thrilled with, so it was quite a relief to find last week's Life on Mars premiere totally enjoyable. Based on a BBC series of the same name, producers are now saddled with the task of turning a 16-episode event into a long-running series. They seem to be off to a good start with really solid casting -- Jason O'Mara, Harvey Keitel, Michael Imperioli, Lisa Bonet, Gretchen Mol -- a classic soundtrack and cool wardrobe (diggin' O'Mara in the 70s-flavor threads and Mol in that charming, vintage police woman get-up). The overall vibe has me wondering what's to come. E.P. Josh Appelbaum was kind enough to clue me in...

Cast2_lifeonmars_240If you're going to remake a show that was a big hit in another country and has a cult following in this one, it probably helps to have fans of the original at the helm. Such is the case with Life on Mars. More

Jasonomara_lifeonmars_240 I'd wager that about 90 percent, maybe more, of the audience for ABC's Life on Mars premiere Thursday will be people who've never seen the British show on which it's based. But either way, viewers shouldn't be disappointed.
