As anyone reading this should know I'm a huge fan of Veronica Mars AKA "The Best Show On Television". Unfortunately I guess I should now call it "The Best Show That Used To Be On Television But Isn't Anymore Because Network Executives Are Morons" or TBSTUTBOTVBIABNEAM for short.
That's right reports are coming in from all over that VM is either not on the CW's Fall Sked or has been canceled altogether. What is wrong with this world? How come good shows get left behind after a few short seasons (This, Arrested Development) or don't even get a full season (Freaks & Geeks, Firefly, Wonderfalls, and pretty much everything else by Tim Minear) while crap gets to live on for ever.
And as if VM leaving wasn't painful enough the CW picked up One Tree Hill, Girlfriends, and The Game for another season. Seriously wee need another season of OTH? They're graduating high school leave them be. But possibly the most painful fact is knowing that while the CW is canceling VM, ABC is picking up Cavemen, a show based on those Geico Commercials! How is the world not imploding on itself right this very moment.
I'm still holding out a little hope that VM will find a home somewhere, but there is some good news. A few of my other favorite shows are coming back including Supernatural and the funniest show nobody's watching How I Met Your Mother.
Before I go watch my old DVDs and cry I leave you with a picture of Veronica as she looked in happier days:
