Well, I'm sorry about LIFE ON MARS, but I have to admit I'm not at all surprised. The ratings weren't great when it was on after GREY'S ANATOMY, and they only went down after moving to WEdnesday night. A real shame.
I have to say that ABC has had quite a few promising procedurals in the last few years that they've let slip through their fingers: IN JUSTICE, THE EVIDENCE, EYES, WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB, and now LIFE ON MARS. Unlike CBS which seems to be able to launch procedurals with the blink of the CBS eye, ABC can't seem to get even one to do well for them. Serialized dramas seem to be their forte.
