Is anyone else going to miss this show?  It has become one of my favorite TV shows EVER and they are canceling it.  I fee like it didn't really get a good chance since they started it on one night, then took a LONG break, and then moved it to a different night all in a short period of time.

I encourage anyone that likes this show to go to ABC.com and let them know how you feel about this...

Jason,

Sorry to hear your favorite show is being cancelled.  I was able to catch a few episodes and found the show interesting.  For a British crossover it wasn't too bad.

I'm not sure how many fans you will find in your travels but I'm sure it won't be enough to get ABC to change their minds about cancelling the show.  It is a done deal.  The best you can hope for is a come back on another network at a future time just like Battlestar Galactica.  That show actually had very high ratings but the production costs were too great to keep it going for more then one season.  But it came back on SciFi channel.  Hope is not lost.

Look at the bright side, now you will have more time to work on your bike during prime time.

I'd suggest you go and buy the British series on DVD and watch that, it's a far better show.

After looking at the ABC site I cant believe how similar the UK and the USA versions are, even the actors look the same. The BBC only did 2 series and they came up with the idea. It was regarded as brilliant and well received, I used to get up early and watch them filming it in manchester close where I live early on a sunday morning. BTW Sam was in a coma all the way through and dreamt it all. At the end of S2 he came out of the coma, found himself in the present and decided to throw himself off the roof of the hospital in an attempt to get back to what he thought was real.

Then Gene and the boys reappeared in the 80s in Ashes to Ashes, S1 was carp in comparison to life on mars and unfortunately S2 is in the pipeline and will shortly be forced on us.

Sleeeeedge....you've ruined the ending for us!  Now I can't watch it.  Wait...I don't normally watch it so we're still ok.

I dont think I have spoiled it. The ending was cleverly written and I just think thats what happened at the end, truth is it was all very much open to interpretation. You never found out for certain if he did actually jump or if he dreamt it, or if he was actually in the 70s and dreaming he was in the present  They purposely left it open for a third series but John Simm who played Sam tyler didnt want to know so we got Ashes to Ashes instead which was dire to say the least. The second series is due anytime, I guarantee that wont make it to the third
