Subject: • 'Life on Mars' beefs up force
ABC's adaptation of the British series "Life on Mars" will be importing more than its premise from across the pond.

Irish actor Colm Meaney is set to take one of the lead roles in the pilot from "Boston Legal" creator David E. Kelley. He would star opposite his countryman Jason O'Mara in the time-jumping police drama.

Lenny Clarke ("Rescue Me") has also joined the pilot, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The show is up for midseason consideration at ABC.

This is sure to be complete pish. There's no way this will translate well over here. Seriously, how can they possibly recreate the one and only Gene Hunt without turning him into some humourless American 70s cheese ball. The language, smoking, drinking and blatant sexism will also be either eliminated or watered down as to make sure the average American viewer won't be offended. I'll watch the pilot, and I may be surprised, but this has fail written all over it imo. As an aside, do the Americans even have anything as iconic as the Test Card as used in the weirdo scenes?

Why the hell can't the Americans just leave alone. They tried it with Red Dwarf - never made it past the Pilot. They have remade 'The Office' and now 'Life on Mars'.

I wonder what the reaction would be if us Brits remade 'Friends'?

Why mess with great shows - Just leave them as they are and enjoy them!!!

Yes, I will watch this first episode, as I did with Red Dwarf and The Office. It is unlikely that I will watch many more than that though!
