Life on Mars US

Ok. I've just seen a commercial on telly for the new version of Life on Mars with Harvey Kietel.
I think.
Maybe.
Just maybe.
It's going to rawk!
Oh, come on...
It's Harvey freakin' Kietel, man!
He may end up being the only good thing in it, but that along might make it worth watching.
I've watched worse!
In the UK version, Gene Hunt is a big man. Harvey isn't as big. But, as gramie_dee said "Harvey Kietel is hard!" I'd hate to see a confrontation between his Gene and the Uk Gene. It would be a close call and i really love the UK version of the show, and the characters.
I"m still reserving judgement.
But i'm somewhat more optimistic than i was.
This is a good thing.

* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

"My mother's eyebrows shot up in disapproval of these living witnesses to alcohol abuse, and I think she would have liked to turn round and march out immediately, dragging dad with her."
