RATING: (WILD APPLAUSE) To the depressingly short list of shows you wish had never ended, prepare to add the original British version of "Life on Mars." The final eight episodes on the second box from Acorn are so incredible, I tore through them in a matter...

I’m never trusting forecasts again. The weather today was cool, cloudy, and pleasant when I awoke at 7 AM.

Kit's sisters are pretty Edith (Dorothy Morris) and tomboy Harriett (Virginia Weidler)....
