What a great episode, swing away baby.

The last episode of Life on Mars was great. It was about airline stewardesses and swingers. The hero had to go undercover and put on a seventies porno guy moustache. The stews were wearing the old school uniforms and they went to a swingers party where they threw all the keys in a dish to change partners. They had a primitive mike and when it went out Harvey Keitel decides to come in to the party as well and strolls in with a Chinese hooker. It was hilarious. Catch it in repeats if you can.

Oh with primo cooze Gina Gershon as the pilot's wife. Tasty piece of tenderloin .

I heard Gina Gershon was a tranny?

They canceled this, you know.

I started watching this show after Trooper recommended it.

I agree it is pretty good especially the clothes and hair. Brings back dim memories if you know what I mean.

Cancelled it Blake ? That's too bad- I bet it could have found a sizable audience if it had some more time.

Canceled? Does that mean we will never find out what really happened to him? I hate this over-arching story crap. I swear I'm going to stop watching anything that has one.

The show does have the uncomfortable effect of making realize just how old I am.

Gershon was also on Numbers this week in a not very engaging episode. Still, there was a great shot of her ass as she walks away in one scene. I jumped up and tried that walk but somehow didn't manage it. Still practicing!

You can watch the British version as well on BBC America. In fact they are showing a "sequel" called Ashes to Ashes.

They always seem to cancel shows that I like. I mean why does everything have to be Law and Order and CSI. The only solace you have is cable where you have cool shows like Saving Grace and The Closer and Rescue Me and The Sheild. Nework TV has become even more of a vast wasteland than ever.

Christy,

I think they told them this far in advance to give them a chance to wrap up the story, at least.

Troop,

Oh, hell, even on cable: Carnivalé, !huff, Dead Like Me--no clue how those were supposed to turn out. (Though we're supposed to get a DLM movie this year.)

Trooper York said...

Oh I know cable is no better blake. The worst cancelation of all was Deadwood. For a stupid surfer series.

ricpic said...

That fucking Deadwood was fucking great. Fuck yeah.

Trooper York said...

I know. Those San Fransico Cocksuckers canceled it.

blake said...

Well, hell, even the (fucking) surfing show left you with all kinds of questions.

At least "Deadwood" had a decent run.
