Talk about comparisons you do not want to hear about your new show before it even airs! Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune writes in her “The Watcher” column a piece titled: The New Life on Mars - is this Journeyman, take 2? Ouch!
Ms. Ryan is definitely not bullish on the US version of Life on Mars, writing:
“A fascinating, unique love triangle evolves between Sam’s ‘real’ in-the-moment friendship with Annie, his longing to get back to Maya and the fantasy of what could be,” the ABC release states.
I’ve already seen that show — it was called “Journeyman.”
I’d even started to like “Journeyman,” before it was yanked because too few viewers got on board with Kevin McKidd, who played a time-traveling reporter. “Mars” is also reminiscent of “Day Break,” another semi-serialized drama about a man traveling between different time periods.
Doesn’t ABC know that its main accomplishment with “Day Break” was to tick off fans who never got to see the show’s final episodes in a timely way after the Taye Diggs vehicle was canceled?
I’d even started to like Journeyman too, after it got over its stupid relationship nonsense and shed most of its viewers besides me, Bill and apparently Ms. Ryan. Read the rest of her fairly scathing (loved it!) piece on the prospects for Life on Mars via the Chicago Tribune site
Stvarno - Ouch!
Ja otkako sam vidio najavu i čuo o čem se radi, imao sam osjećaj da će to brzo propast
Sve mi se čini da će se Lost vratit u svoj timeslot od proljetos
