I didn't see the US version of LOM, I heard it was quite bad though.

That WHAT?!? US version of Life on Mars? That is ridiculous! Life on Mars is a fantastic show, who in their right mind would ever think of making other versions of it? Not even the Americans would do something that dumb; that would be like someone repainting Mona Lisa because they think she should be blond, or that she would be better received among a Nordic audience if she were blond.

No, fortunately LOM is only a show from the UK. Wait... This pretending the parts you don't like don't exist joke is getting kind of old these days, isn't it?
