Rosenberg:Steve McPherson at ABC was obsessed with [“Life on Mars”]. They had shot a pilot with as good an auspice as you can get in television: David E.

O’Mara:All of us, including Harvey, thought it was a really creative and fun ending to the series. So we were all on board with that, which might be hard to believe to some fans, becau...
