why did abc cancel life on mars?

That show followed Lost. Everybody is talking about what they just saw on Lost to bother watching anything else for the rest of the night.

the show was a spinoff of a british show of the same name, it was also cancelled in its first season.

from what i've read, the city of new york didn't care for the expense of its being filmed there after the financial meltdown we've experienced this year, and the cost of their manpower to keep peace during filming was costing the broke city too much money. top that with very little advertising by the network, and pausing the show for a month or so in between the episodes thus causing a lack of followers is what caused its demise.

i personally loved the show. i was 12 in 1973 and enjoyed the trip down 'memory lane' every week...

Low ratings.

The ratings weren't all that good, unfortunately.

lol ratings

hope i helped

i got a cousin named terry......Probably because people didn't like watching it.
