Veronica Mars


Veronica Mars is an American television series created by screenwriter Rob Thomas. The series premiered on September 22, 2004 during television network UPN's final two years, and ended on May 22, 2007 after a season on UPN's successor, The CW. Veronica Mars was produced by Warner Bros. Television, Silver Pictures Television, Stu Segall Productions, Inc and Rob Thomas Productions. Joel Silver and Rob Thomas were executive producers for the entire run of the series, while Diane Ruggiero was promoted in the third season.
Following the cancellation of the series, Thomas wrote a feature film script continuing the series. Warner Bros. opted not to fund the project at the time. On March 13, 2013, Bell and Thomas launched a fundraising campaign to produce the film through Kickstarter and attained the $2 million goal in less than ten hours. They accumulated over $5.7 million via Kickstarter. Production began on June 17, 2013. The film will be released on March 14, 2014
The series is set in the fictional town of Neptune, California, and stars Kristen Bell as the title character, a student who progresses from high school to college while moonlighting as a private investigator under the tutelage of her detective father. In each episode, Veronica solves a different stand-alone case while working to solve a more complex mystery. The first two seasons of the series each had a season-long mystery arc, introduced in the first episode of the season and solved in the season finale. The third season took a different format, focusing on smaller mystery arcs that would last the course of several episodes.

  I only discovered this show after it had been cancelled. I caught the pilot on late night TV and then came home and downloaded every episode and watched them all in a matter of days. It was such a smart, funny, dramatic, well written/performed show. I'll never understand how shows like this end up cancelled while some trash stays on for years. I am excited beyond belief to see the movie.

  1. This Week's Classic Tv is Veronica Mars! Yes I know that 2007 is probably not considered classic Tv but years are flying by so why not? Who else loved this show and is looking forward to the movie?!
