[TVFan]

GREAT NEWS VM FANS!!!!!

[sonny]

I'm way pleased for you TVFan, I know how much you love it. Such a shame it's not on in the UK [as far as I know]. From what I read in your blog, it sounds a great show. And it's also great to know that the cast are nice people. I can't watch some shows or movies cos my opinions of the actors really cloud my judgement, Anything with J-Lo for instance is a total no-no!!

[BAM]

That's great - thanks for letting us know TVFan!
I really enjoyed what I saw and I intend to get season 1 and 2 on DVD over summer as I missed a big chunk when I moved from Australia to the US this year and I was really confused in the season finale!!??

[TVFan]

Definitely catch up with the DVDs. Season 1 is out now and available to rent through Netflix. Season 2 hits the stores on August 22nd. It's currently airing in reruns on UPN on Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. EDT too.

`Veronica Mars' axing pains cult of fans
By SOLVEJ SCHOU

LOS ANGELES

It's a mournful day for a niche TV crowd. OK, a cult crowd. "Veronica Mars" is no more.

The smart CW dramedy starring blonde pixie Kristen Bell as a tough teenage sleuth with wisecracks and style to spare has been canceled after three seasons.

For weeks, rabid devotees of "Mars" -- ranging from college students with fan sites on Myspace, LiveJournal and Facebook, to academics in their 30s -- buzzed about the show's status.

Self-described "huge fan" Angela Hanigan, 31, told The Associated Press on Wednesday she would be "extremely crushed" but not surprised by the show's demise.

"I don't expect shows with brilliant writing and three dimensional characters to stay on the air for very long," the teacher from Fullerton said dryly in an e-mail.

Hanigan has been glued to "Mars" since the very beginning, when the show created by Rob Thomas debuted on the UPN network. Last year, after two seasons, it moved to the CW -- the merger of WB and UPN.

"I was hooked from the get-go. It's part mystery-suspense, part drama, always fast, witty dialogue," Hanigan said. "It stands out from most things on TV. Sassy blonde solves crime, what's not to like?"

Apparently some, though, did find reason. Last week the show drew slightly more than 1.8 million viewers, making it the least-watched non-repeat on the five broadcast networks.

Mostly filmed in San Diego, the show followed pretty, petite private investigator Veronica Mars (Bell) as she trash-talked adult authorities and adolescent naysayers alike while navigating the ups and downs (mostly downs) of high school and college, solving cases including her best friend's murder and her own rape.

Joining her in the fictional seaside Southern California town of Neptune were her best friend, Wallace (Percy Daggs III), on-again, off-again boyfriend, Logan (Jason Dohring), and her sheriff-turned private eye-turned sheriff again father, Keith (Enrico Colantoni).

Show creator Thomas never wanted Veronica to ooze sweetness. He wanted writers to "write her like a porcupine," he said in October.

Veronica was just that: a pint-sized Perry Mason with the intellect of the "Gilmore Girls" gals and moxie of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

"She's an idol to all outcast and pessimistic girls," said Canadian college graduate Jenny Olsen, 22, whose Facebook site praises the character. "She's intelligent, is not afraid to be herself, knows what she wants out of life, and isn't too polite to step on people to get there."

While sluggish ratings cemented the show's fate, fans had harbored hope "Mars" would return.

"In a way, I'm happy to have been able to watch three seasons of it. That said, I'd love to see it come back, even in the rumored `Veronica jumps ahead to the FBI' scenario," said Web content editor Kevin Quinn, 26.

"Its a high quality show that not a lot of people latched onto, for whatever reason," he said. "It was marketed as a teen/high school drama, but it's really more than that."

[jambled]

I'm addicted to this show! Can't believe they'd axe it... But I guess ratings are everything. I like the new format of college in S3. And from a media student's perpective, they get some fantastic camera angles and effects in there!
Meanwhile... Is Piz out of VMars the guy in the Addison Montgomery spinoff show?

[nicksta]

It really sucks that they're cancelling it. And from the looks of the promo, looks like LoVe aren't goign to end up together Which sucks even more.

[coldboneslove398]

yeah me either...can't believe they cancelled it. The last two episode of Season 3 were the best!! It was like Veronica Mars's Season 1 episodes.

[coldboneslove398]

Okay I was watching donut run from Season 2 of Veronica Mars on my computer and I saw that Lucy Lawless was guest-starring o.O. I watched this episode like sooo many times and i never noticed she was in the opening credits until now. Wow....is she really a blond(lucy)? In Xena she had like really dark brown hair.

[coldboneslove398]

hmm...*bump* gotta bump this thread on this awesome show .

The recurring character, Gia, from Season 2 of "Veronica Mars" seems similar in a lot of ways in personality and physical traits like lolgirlyy, whose nickname is also Gia(among other names).

*side-note should lolgirlyy ever check this thread ;D. Do you have like an identity crisis with all those nicknames? lol j/k xD.

[Gina]

LOL funny that I did check this thread, I totally checked it on a whim, looking for somthing with a new post. I saw my name, and I'm like: "I'm in the Veronica Mars thread?"

LOL, not really an identity crisis. Everyone has their own nickname for me. I just thought it would be funny to keep a list for everyone to see.

I'll have to check out Gia. Veronica Mars is a show that I have wanted to get into for a while.
