"Life on Mars," ABC

ABC has ordered 13 episodes of "Life on Mars," the BBC series about a 21st century detective who who finds himself back in 1973 after he's run over by a car. Twist for the American version? It's set in 1972 for some reason. The lead is Jason O'Mara, and the U.S. show was created by David E. Kelley, who also owns the rights. The pickup was part of Kelley's negotiations to keep his dramedy "Boston Legal" on the air.
