MISTAKES/GOOFS

DATE: In the scene where Detective Sam and Lt Gene Hunt are discussing Lt Hunt's history as a dirty cop you can clearly see a Verizon sign. The Verizon moniker did not exist until 2000.
CONT: At the beginning of the show, Sam is running after the kid on the bike and passes an Orange Chevrolet Corvair with a black stripe. As he is arresting the guy on the next street over, the same Corvair is shown parked in front of the car where Sam is standing.

TRIVIA

Sam Tyler was inadvertently named for Rose Tyler, a character on the BBC's "Doctor Who" (2005). In the BBC Version of "Life on Mars" (2006), Sam's mother is named Ruth Tyler. The ABC version has Sam's mother named Rose Tyler.
The song Sam dances to with Annie in the bar, right after meeting singer Jim Croce, is T-Rex's "Bang a Gong (Get it On)". In the original UK show's equivalent of this episode, the singer Sam runs into is T-Rex lead singer Marc Bolan, whom he advises to drive safely - especially around Minis.
