after seeing the awfulness that is the trailer for the american remake of Life on Mars i decided to start a rewatch of the original. really i tried to get my sister to watch with me, but she's been pretty uninterested in tv lately. so i'm going on without her.

it's amazing to me how cheesy that american trailer made the show seem. i really hope people find a way to see the original because John Simm and Phillip Glenister are LoM.

there are so many shows that i want to do massive rewatches of. Buffy, Angel, Farscape, Supernatural. the list goes on and on. there's really not enough time in the day. i'm really looking forward to the long weekend because i plan on doing absolutely nothing.

i just watched the first episode of Life on Mars. i'm definitely intrigued. i actually dled it a while back without knowing a thing about it. i just knew people whose tv opinions usually mirrored mine were squeeing about it. i was expecting a sci-fi show and maybe it will lean more towards that in later episodes, but it didn't necessarily feel that way in the first ep. i'm not sure what i'd call it, really. just good television, i suppose.

anyway. am intrigued and will continue watching. the lead actor, john simm, is pretty fantastic. can't wait to see more from him.

there is no point to this post. i just like to mark down, for posterity's sake, when i start watching a new show that has potential to be one of my favorites. plus i know UKers like when we USians get into their tv shows. ;)
