Goodbye, Veronica Mars
To no one's surprise, Veronica Mars has been canceled after an acclaimed but low-rated three-year run. There is a tiny chance that something involving Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell is still brewing - that Veronica Mars, FBI idea? - but it's not on the fall schedule, and the show we all knew and liked is over next week.
This doesn't break me up. While the cast and characters were never less than engaging, the stories could be very hit and miss, and the constant fear of cancellation seems to have taken its toll on the writers' creativity. I will miss having a detective series on American broadcast TV, and will miss Veronica and Logan and Keith and the rest, but three years is a good run for such a quirky show. With any luck, Kristen Bell will go onto bigger things, and Rob Thomas will find that one idea with legs.
