Wolfman Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Just watched the pilot for ABC's new show, "Living On Mars". A modern day cop gets hit by a truck and in his head, wakes up in 1973. Anyway, the two main characters are walking into a record store. The one character says..."I remember this place. My mom used to take me here. It's where I bought my first Hall & Oates....errrr....I mean Led Zeppelin albums." The funny thing is that as soon as he caught himself and paused for a second, I knew he was going to say Zeppelin. I guess I have E.S.Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargroves Tangie Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Another recent Zeppelin album reference on TV: on last week's episode of Californication, David Duchovny's character & another guy were in the Rainbow in L.A. & he said that the first album he ever bought was Led Zeppelin II.

Dandu Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I always liked the episode of the Simpsons where the school bus goes over a bridge and as Otto, the bus driver, is being swept away by a fast current his last words are "Zeppelin Rules!".

ebk Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Didn't know they had done a US version of Life On Mars. First episode was this past Thursday - almost a complete copy of the first BBC episode (with a couple of NYC twists). I absolutely loved the BBC series, but I think this one will be ... okay at least. Possibly even good. I can only hope... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some of the BBC episodes and thought they were great so I was curious how the American version would fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah... it was more than that. Hank (DD) meets a succesful record producer in jail. The producer bails him out and takes him to the Rainbow Room, where they sit at "Led Zeppelin's Table! Right here is where Jimmy Fucking Page got fellatio under the table from Miss Pamela!" - said by the producer while he was getting fellatio under the table from someone. Awesome show. Another shout out was in "Bones" a couple of weeks ago, when they had a character named Lord Henry Bonham. (Less cool factor, though, since they also had a character named Frampton...) Zep Lives!

Knebby Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 That'll be "Life On Mars" - I was actually going to start a thread about this as I really wanted to know what you all thought of the US version. The two UK series are some of the best TV I've seen in years, I got the box sets right away. *I also remember us discussing the fantastic first series on the old .com and noticing that the villain in the first episode was called Eddie Kramer. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninelives Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I liked it and will watch it again. I'll have to see if I can get my hands on the UK version At one point they were showing the series on BBC America but it wasn't for very long. I thought it was a fantastic series. I have to remember to catch the US version this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllisonAdler Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I absolutely loved the UK series and no-one can replace John Simm, but I thought the US version wasn't half bad, and I quite like Jason O'Mara. The soundtrack is a kick! Can't wait to see Ashes to Ashes over here (or when I finally get to go 'home' next year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatbo Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Didn't know they had done a US version of Life On Mars. missHD, sooner or later they will have a US version of everything, especially if it's good... this one is quite good, anyways, the music sells this premise, of course...

I'de like to see a US version of "The Sweeney", but would the English sense of humor travel well across the pond? Jack Reagan. " Well we've got "Arsenic Harry" locked up" George Carter. "Do they call him that because he poisoned people" Jack Reagan.

Aquamarine Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 The Sweeney was one of my favorite shows ever. When I visited South Africa we saw it dubbed into Afrikaans, and it was still good. Haven't seen the US Life on Mars, but the British one is great--once my brother had explained the premise to me, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
