something I am grateful for today

Finally got to see every episode of Life on Mars, yay! [By which I mean the real one, I can't believe that anyone would bother to produce an American remake of it but yes apparently that happened while I wasn't looking...]

...Didn't even use your Gene userpic. Shame.

I told you - even though I created that pic, I don't have enough room to actually use it here (I'm only allowed 15). In order to use it, I'd have to get rid of another one that I'm still using frequently, and it's so hard to decide!

I know, but GEEEEEEENE. But you have TWO pig icons.

One pig for family posts, one for general happiness. Both pretty useful.

OK, you convinced me! You'll be glad I got rid of the one I did, too!

The American version was actually pretty decent, unlike most remakes. Although it had a decidedly happier (and less thought-provoking) ending than the original. The BBC follow-up series, Ashes to Ashes, is also pretty good, although I've only seen the first season so far.

“The American version was actually pretty decent”

I'm honestly surprised to hear that, but I don't doubt you. Maybe I'll have a chance to catch it sometime and see for myself.

Well, it had a good cast, especially Harvey Keitel as Gene Hunt.

I find it really, really difficult to even imagine anyone else as Gene.

Believe me, so did I. And it's definitely not the same, but it is still good.

“it's definitely not the same, but it is still good”

Like the American and British versions of The Office, maybe?

Exactly! I love both versions of that show.
