Life on Mars

Before I talk about my new favorite show, I gots to post the greatest video of all time!!! Robert Gibbs, Communications Director for the Obama Campaign LAYS THE SMACKDOWN on Sean Hannity of Fixed Noise!! :O)






I just love him blubbering (he IS very pasty, isn't he??) about how "I am no Anti-Semite!Benjamin Netanyahu blurbed my book!!" It was awesome to see Gibbs really stick it to him! He made me proud!!



Now, on a purely pop culture note, I LOVED "Life on Mars" !!! Any Show that features a Bowie tune as its theme song is rocking in my book. Time will tell if the writers for the show are able to keep the concept going of a police detective from 2008 sent back in time to 1973 by getting hit on the head in an accident. The character of Detective Sam Tyler has no choice but to solve crimes in 1973, in a Police Department (and City of New York) that are VASTLY different than the world he is used to in 2008. In all seriousness, I have not loved a show as much since "Homicide: Life on the Street"



Which, by the way, is the only show I know of that began the pilot episode, and ended the last show of the series with the same line:



"That's the thing about this job, it ain't got nothin' to do with life".



Just brilliant.



"Life on Mars" is worth watching for Michael Imperioli's muttonchops alone!!
