Life on Mars (a second look)

OK so now what am I supposed to say about this show. if I ignore the blatant left wing politics and the shots at the current administration there's little left to observe.

I am in no way in agreement with the abuse, assault or killing of anyone. I subscribe to the belief that states: "thou shalt not kill". So don't get all up in arms thinking I'm in agreement with any kind of bashing. I'm also not in favour of war for multiple reasons.

Episode three started out good but quickly denigrated into what has quietly become tacit acceptance of everything except truth from a Judeo Christian perspective. Try spouting those beliefs and you (I) will be shouted down in most assemblies today (I am referring to meetings, not places of worship).

Why is it that politics has to be part of everything? Why can I not watch a serial show on tv without having to put up with the liberal politico drivel? Can't they just make a show about content and leave the lifestyle out of it. I can't wait to see what type of comments arrive following this post.

The music was drowned out (with the exception of the last song) which for some reason I cannot recall the name. Nothing else stood out, besides the brutal treatment of the accused trio (by the way, whatever happened to the tolerance preached by the lieutenant as he pleaded for the concerns of the victim, but "abused" the accused, how hypocritical, kinda makes me wanna go hmmmmm).

If I waste another hour next Thursday night to watch this garbage, it better be good. Otherwise, I will vote with my index finger and turn the aptly titled "idiot box" off and never watch "Life on Mars" again.

Life on Mars

I watched the second show of the new program called "Life on Mars" last night. I was pretty excited about it as the show apparently takes place in 1973 which was a pretty significant year for me. I was 15 going on 16 in the middle of my high school years and lovin' life in the 70's at the time. I was anticipating hearing some music from that time and I did. Unfortunately the show needs a bit of work. The same gags are used all the time: the older police office uses methods that seem archaic the the new officer. It got kind of boring after a while. There were some good tunes and the premise of the show is a bit off, if you ask me.

All in all I found it to be slow and boring. It wasn't as funny(is it supposed to be funny) as I anticipated and the music was good but there could have been more added in spots. The cars are in great shape though.

I'll give it one more try next week, but if it doesn't get better then it will find itself in the dumpster. The website is actually much better than the show, a sad realization that I came to.
