I would have liked that too. Gene and a new crew.

[solticisekf]

LoM 4va!

I'm not sure that 90s would be as fun because the era is not that different from 00s. Big corporations, gray furniture, big shoulders... I'm all for more though, so I'd be happy for whatever creators'd possibly do. More is better than less.

[rivia]

me too, even though i loved the way they ended it in A2A

[comradesmiler]

Aw yeah! Although, I thought the 90's was portrayed as hell in the last ep.

[sparklywalls]

I wrestle with this a lot because I think part of the appeal of LoM and A2A for me was this was my parents stuff, and I couldn't remember it. I loved watching those series with my dad because it made him talk to me about his youth in the 70s, which he rarely spoke about until then. I realised that I inherited a lot of the pop culture stuff I like from him. So even though I liked the idea of a 90s series I kinda felt like it wouldn't be as special because I REMEMBER all of the 90s. I dunno, it's weird.

[(Anonymous)]

Did you Dad like The Sweeney, too? I didn't grow up in the 70s but I enjoyed that series a lot.

[sparklywalls]

Yeah he does. I think it's a combination of enjoying things that remind him of his younger years but also he just generally likes watching shows along those lines.

Actually, this reminds me - he really likes New Tricks as well, but for a different reason because I suppose he identifies with the "doing it the old fashioned way" element that the earlier series of that sort of did.

[(Anonymous)]

Awww. I watch New Tricks, too. Your dad has excellent taste. :)

[sparklywalls]

I quite like it as well. I see professional reviews bashing it all the time saying it isn't something younger people can understand or relate to and I'm just sitting her thinking: but I enjoy it! I mean, I like it less since the original team left but it still has its moments.

[(Anonymous)]

That seems a bit silly. It focuses on more old school police work, but it's not like young people don't understand the value of knocking on doors and interviewing people... which frankly, is still a huge part of police work today.

Of course, I like Inspector Morse as well, and I'm in my 30s so maybe the reviews are thinking of younger audiences.

[sparklywalls]

Oh man I love Inspector Morse as well, show and books! I remember when I was ill for a few days when I was in my early teens my mum gave me The Wench is Dead to read, which was quite funny of her given the main plot. Quite liking Endeavour at the moment as well - mostly for the interactions between young Morse an Thursday.

Ah I'm 28 so those sorts of reviews are probably not getting at me either. Still, I don't remember being unable to enjoy "old" things a decade or so ago...

[(Anonymous)]

I only came to appreciate "older" things as I got older, even if they were still before my time. I think it's just that at a young age, the emotional and experience gap can be too wide to cross. There's SUCH a huge difference between being 18 and 25, and then your life takes another leap in development between 25 and 35. So when you're 30, shows that are 20 years older than you don't seem that alien as they did when you were 18.

Oh and Endeavour is good, the moments between him and Friday are my favorites, too. :)

[skippydelicious]

But the 90s was hell, in Ashes to Ashes literally so.

Plus it was too close in time to when the shows started to be significantly different (other than they could have had shots of NY with the World Trade Center Towers) so it would have been fairly pointless. They'd have trouble finding a proper car for Gene too, 90s cars were crap.

[(Anonymous)]

In the final scene where the new Sam comes in griping he can't get a mobile signal,there's a brochure on Gene's desk, I can't remember what for, Porche, maybe? so they'd already picked out his new ride.

[comradesmiler]

I think it was a mercedes benz.

[skippydelicious]

Mercedes-Cosworth, still an 80s car albeit a bit more grown up and less in-your-face than the Quattro. It represented Gene growing up a bit himself, I think anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

Ditto. I liked the 80s series a lot less than I thought I would, tbh. It's more my era of music, but the arc was less compelling and Alex was too... I don't know. Hysterical and over-the-top in the first few episodes. I don't think it's the actress' fault, just careless writing, but it was very off putting.

A 90s one would've been funny, and think of all the Britpop they could've used for the soundtrack!

[(Anonymous)]

That would have been a bit odd. I mean the series started in 2005. It already looked like a period piece when I started watching it

[(Anonymous)]

I can't bring myself to watch A2A, Life On Mars was just so well done. I feel like it would ruin it?

[(Anonymous)]

Not me. I didn't even like A2A. Give me Life on Mars and the 1970s!

[(Anonymous)]

+1 Ashes to Ashes was awful.

[(Anonymous)]

Nawh I was totally satisfied with the ending and rather not see anymore.

I just really like when things have a good finish more than I would imaging the world get expanded.
