I've been thinking about this, and I've concluded that the reason that Farscape generates less crack than Life on Mars, is that in Farscape strange things happen against a strange background, whereas in LOM, strange things happen against a normal background. In other words, living Test Card Girls and puppet policemen stick out more in a British police drama, than body-swapping and vomiting aliens on a living spaceship. %-P
