LIFE ON MARS
(ABC, 2008-09)
Number of Episodes: 17
Although Life on Mars could be classified as a police procedural, the remake (it was originally a British show) went one step further, transporting the main character, detective Sam Tyler (Jason O'Mara) — and viewers — back to the '70s after a horrific car wreck. The storylines were driven by Sam's modern-day values played against the corrupt attitudes of New York City in the wild 1970s. No detail — right down to the 8-track tapes and the sideburns — was overlooked.
