Life on Mars

A TV show I really liked just ended after two series and sixteen episodes. And I want to offer a major thank you to the writers for having the guts to kill a ratings winner instead of dragging it out till it jumped the shark. Because everything has a lifespan, and in this case the writers made the choice to wrap it all up before the character relationships stagnated into an inevitable rut, before the plot had to become forced to keep up the conflict and the 'interest'. It was a well-timed decision.

And maybe I'm just a sucker for people who choose their own reality :-)

I adore that show! I just started watching the second season though so, yeah. It is good to hear they didn't drag it out though. I love it, but it's one of those premises that you'd really have to work to stretch and then it would lose a lot of appeal.
