From that article:
Kelley continues to work on both the pilot for "Life on Mars," which is a contender for ABC's fall sked
Are they already remaking Life on Mars, the British series where the detective time travels back to the '70s OR DOES HE?

Oh great, now the little girl and doll test from the pattern can traumatize millions of new American viewers!

Is that the fastest cancellation ever?
CBS also cancelled a show last month before it aired. I think it's the hot new trend.
Preemptive cancellations are the new black.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Yep.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Shit. I vaguely heard about Life on Mars remake and was hoping that'd be just a rumour. The city of Manchester is such a strong facet of the show, I'm having a hard time imagining it set in America. And I wonder what kind of soundtrack the new series is going to use, since the vintage 70's rock songs play such a big role in setting the mood. Also, David E. Kelly? Not really a good fit for the material.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ha! I haven't watched the show, but this test pattern is a popular subject in the TWoP thread about things on TV that have scarred you for life.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, David E. Kelly? Not really a good fit for the material.
Seriously.

Isn't that the show they've been pimping for weeks now in commercials? Is that the fastest cancellation ever?
No, the one they've been pimping will air on ABC, starring Marla Sokoloff; I think it premieres at the end of this month. I don't think anyone will watch it, though, so they might as well cancel it now.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.
If they hold it until spring (as opposed to January), Fox can promote the show heavily throughout early season NASCAR coverage.
That's got to be so smooth a connection even Fox can't miss it, right?
Actually NASCAR coverage on FOX starts in February with the Daytona 500 which does nice ratings. FOX does cross promote with NASCAR. Maybe Tim can fly down and say the most famous words in auto racing "Gentleman start your engines!"

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Maybe Tim can fly down and say the most famous words in auto racing "Gentleman start your engines!"Noooooooo!
I like my racing and my bloody and disturbing violence separate, thank you very much.
