AMC original series

Life on Mars

An intriguing, well written series with an incredible cast & compelling stories was just too smart for ABC to allow to continue. I'm talking about the American remake of "Life on Mars". I just thought that such a great show deserves a chance to find it's audience & I thought AMC might make a good home since it dosen't seem to mind period pieces (MadMen) & actually wants its audience to think for a change (I simply can't take any more "reality tv". Since I watching less & less network television I thought I might see if someone at AMC might think that picking up "life on Mars" would be possible. It's a great show with an already established fan base.

Superheros: A dying fad?

I think it's safe to say, that Superhero movies have really shaped the action-adventure genre. With break throughs like: The Dark Knight, Iron Man, and others. Looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel for this genre. Or is there?
the much anticapated Watchmen hit theaters last week, and it has been described in a very good manner. But it's box office performance is anything, but impressive. It hasn't been the breakthrough people thought it would it be. Which raises an intresting question: Are superheros not so super anymore? There have been plenty of flopes. Fantastic Four, The Hulk, The Incredible Hulk, Superman Returns, X2, X-Men: Last Stand, and all the Blade films.
It is a common fact that when a genre is done to death, the taste of the audience goes elsewhere. Which could put Superheros in hot water. And not just on the big screen( I can't stand Heroes anymore).
Only time will tell.
