Veronica Mars

If you live in Australia Veronica Mars is quite possibly the best show you will never get to see. We’ve just watched the premier episode of the second season and have no idea why this hasn’t been picked up here yet. I guess the 25 words or less “school girl detective solves crime in her spare time” description would send most people running but the last time a show with such rich characters, witty writing, complex (and daring) story lines and with a strong young female lead was screened it was largely ignored too. Which is a shame, ’cause Veronica Mars could end up being better than Buffy and I can pay a television show no higher compliment.

If you’re in Aus move heaven and earth to get a copy of season 1, there is no way you will be disappointed.

  1. I’m still miffed that Dead Like Me hasn’t taken here. But there you go. If it’s not bloody Law & Order (Whateverversionithappenstobe), CSI, or Blue effing Heelers (*grr*), it’s not worth watching. Apparently.

    I need to get my hands on one of them rating box thingamijiggers.

  2. VERONICA MARS IS THE BEST SHOW EVER. iT’S FUN, INTERESTING, WITTY, DARING AND OVERALL HIGH ENTERTAINMENT. WE KNOW HAVE IT IN AUSTRALIA, BUT IT SAYS IN OUR VERSION OF TV WEEK THAT NEXT EPISODE IS THE LAST. BOO HOO I HATE CHANNEL TEN

  3. Can’t believe that it has been cancelled: it’s a great success in US. What has possessed them to do such a stupid thing!

  4. summer ratings. the only 2 shows to make it were supernatural (because 10 pushed it) and ghost whisper (because 7 didn’t have any other show rate that high). its a shame though. i don’t think 10 knows that everyones getting bored of the o.c, me and my friends are agree that marissa and ryan r boring! Veronica Mars is the best thing on Tv. I hope it wont turn out like Charmed – A show pushed around over a period of a year, then wrapped up at 11.30pm on an monday night.
    Channel 10 suck!

  5. CAME BACK FROM HOLIDAYS, SO WHAT HAPPEND TO VERONICA MARS, AT LEAST PUT IT ON FRIDAY AS YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE THATS GOOD AT THAT TIME (FRIDAY NIGHT GAMES) IS SOOOOOOOO BOORING ID RATHER WATCH A BLANK TELEVISION OR EVEN SWITCH TO CHANNEL 9. SORRY BUT IS THE TRUTH.

  11. OmG they jst left us hanging after the first ep…..BUT ITs Okay for me cOz i just bought the whole second seasOn and it arrived today in the mail!!

    But im not just some crazy teenage girl that gets sucked into every teen shOw around. I never Liked to OC or buffy…but veronica mars is somthing eles…Im HOOKED!

  12. I agree compleely… I have never been able to stomach OC and especially not Buffy (PUKE), but I was desparately and helplessly over-heels for Veronica Mars… Channell 10 has some hopeless shows playing currently, seriously, who watches Meercat Manor or Its me or the Dog???? WHO? And as for the Wedge and constant Simpson re-runs, oh come on seriously, I’m just a wee bit sick of it all…. well anyway, theres my 2 cents worth
