Guess I'll stop watching this now. Too bad, it was kind of good. They'll probably hire Ann Coulter to play Harvey's daughter.

Can't wait for the return of my favorite show!

Grandpa Fred he looks more like Grandpa Munster.

Our they hoping to lure LO viewers with him. Hope not many including my self are glad he's gone. Wish sexy Jesse came back! But I \remain a LOM fan.

He's going to be as uninspiring as his speech at the convention last summer . I remain devoted to the show but I'll fastforward his scenes unless they invole Maya and Sam.

Ha! I agree better Mars than White House!

Fred Thompson was so miscast on Law & Order, and will be miscast once again. Never, never would New Yorkers elect a Southerner for local office.

Fred can be seen putting Charles Barkley on trial for NBA commentary in TNT ads running currently promoting the new NBA season so his "return" has already begun. Am looking forward to him in LOM

@Barbara Reader...I wish they would stop casting Fred Thompson period. He was dreadful on Law & Order.

Rachel Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 06:39 PM EST

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Charisma Carpenter to be cast as the daughter of Harvey Keitel's character.

Barbara Reader Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 05:44 PM EST

I wish they would stop casting Fred Thompson as a New Yorker.

Jake Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 05:34 PM EST

Cool. Back before his presdential aspirations caused his exit, I enjoyed him on Law & Order on the occasion that I watched it. Oddly enough, with Life on Mars now backing up Lost, this places him on ABC competing with his old show in the timeslot. Wonder if he thought about that before signing on...

Maddi Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 04:01 PM EST

Didn't he come from Mars in the first place? Nah, I'm excited, I love this show.

MJ Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 03:39 PM EST

You tell em ! This is a great show that does not have enough buzz.

Josh Emerson Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 03:14 PM EST

I don't have any interest in watching Grandpa Fred on TV.

elr Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 02:59 PM EST

I like the match up of Lost & Life on Mars. Countning the days until Jan. 21st.

Krystal Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 02:41 PM EST

Woot! Senator Fred got him a new job! Love me some Senator Fred =D
