Life On Mars--The Yankee Version: Premiere
Hey.
I still haven't seen the original British version of this series, but everything I heard about it sounded good, and so my bar on this new series was pretty high. I told myself I probably wasn't going to stay with it if it didn't knock my socks off. But so far it looks like it will deliver.
Yes, they played the David Bowie song. It was on the 8-Track deck on Sam's 1973 car (a Chevelle Super Sport) in the scene when he woke up.
I don't know if anybody else catches them, but here and there I see homages to the crime dramas of the era (Kojak, Starsky & Hutch, SWAT, Adam-12, Dragnet, etc.). Heck, I even see a little of Barney Miller!
More to come.

PS: I tried to access the official website of the show and couldn't get very far. I guess they have embedded "features" that aren't dial-up friendly.
