It’s been nearly two years since Life on Mars ended its 16 episode run on BBC One. I, for one, have missed it. I gave the US remake a chance, but it paled in comparison, which is probably why ABC dumped it last week.

Damn! Where do I start? The season finale of Burn Notice had a little bit of everything: fistfights, car chases, shootouts, multiple explosions and a high body count. Whew!
