Life on Mars

I found this incredibly awesome TV show called Life on Mars which is an American remake of a BBC show.  It's about a cop in 2008 that gets hit by a car and wakes up in 1973, which is like being on a completely different planet.  The show is bout him trying to figure out how he got there, and how to get back, all the while trying to be a cop in 1973 with his 2008 training, which isn't always what is required in that day and age.  The show is completely hilarious, but only lasted one season.  They were informed that they were cancelled before the end of the season so they were actually able to make an ending to it. It's got Harvey Keitel and Mike Imperioli in it.  It's got some really weird moments in it, but mostly it's a pretty fun show, and it has got an excellent soundtrack too.  If you've got access to netflix, can find it at the library, or have an extra ten buck lying around to pick up the DVD set it's well worth the time.  The first episode is a bit boring until about 2/3 through with all of the set up for the series going on, but if you sit it out, you won't regret it.
