ABC Extends Life of 'Mars'
ABC said it has ordered four additional episodes of new drama "Life on Mars."
The move comes as the network confirmed that the show will move behind "Lost" starting in late January.
While "Mars" has been a less-than-stellar ratings performer Thursdays at 10, the network has lots of faith in the show creatively.
"Mars" is produced by ABC Studios.

That's great, BUT! How about continuing PUSHING DAISIES??????
UNBELIEVABLE!! You finally get a WINNING show, with FANTASTIC characters, FABULOUS CAST!,ORIGINAL and different storyline with fast moving EXTREMELY WITTY dialogue for those of us who aren't brain dead with your stupid 'reality' garbage, and you decide to CANCEL IT?????!!!! -BAD MOVE! PUSHING DAISIES is the best show you've come up with yet! There are still plenty of us out here that need a little humor and mental stimulation. And what a fantastic combination of cast! It's my FAVORITE SHOW! I really don't need more remakes, copycat or generally large breasted based interest shows with NO SUBSTANCE! These are just the ABSOLUTELY **BEST ACTORS** who work so well together! This is REAL ENTERTAINMENT! (And trying to shove us over to 'Chuck' by making 'duplicate image' characters won't work for me-Think We didn't notice??)
**And By The Way...these are **EXCELLENT WRITERS**- worth their WEIGHT in GOLD! Keep them on this...WE WANT MORE!!!!
If ratings seemed lower after the writers strike- think of THIS... You made us wait forever and **NEVER PROMOTED** the RETURN of Pushing Daisies as you did other shows. Your viewers became confused & LOST trying to find out WHEN or IF* you would ever bring it back! (*Just for the record...by reading an old article, is the FIRST I've heard of your Pie Hole trailer! It should've been added to the end or as a commercial attachment during the show*. I would've loved to see that!) DUHHH! *THIS ONE HAS SUSTANCE! What a wonderful escape FROM the true reality!
*And you would DENY US a real conclusion by continuing the saga in a COMIC BOOK???!!! Thanks for NOTHING, ABC! What's wrong with you?
I BEG you to RECONSIDER YOUR VIEWERS! PLEASE??!!
**CONTINUE THIS SHOW!! Dump some of the other really JUNK shows for the mindless kiddies instead!
