Life in Mars cancelled, but gets a real ending

Life on Mars, the ABC-TV half time-travel, half-retro, half-cop-show action series starring Jason O'Mara, has been cancelled only four months after its premiere, with 14 shows in the can.  It really never did catch a break, from a lack of publicity at the ouset (in spite of its coverted post-Lost time-slot) to the last-minute re-casting  (Colm Meaney out, Harvey Keitel in).  All in all, you could see the handwriting scrawled across the HD screen weeks ago.

But here's the good news: the Powers That Be were kind enough to cancel the show ealry enough that Life on Mars wwill get an actual ending, and most (if not all) of the quesitons about Sam's sudden trip to the past via car-crash will be answered.  Is he in a coma?  Is he dead and just doesn't know it?  Is he actually visiting the 70’s, God help him?  All will be revealed during its last episode in May.  Watch The Rush for details!
