| It's Good... |
| 11.11.04 (12:21 pm) [edit] |
...but nobody is watching. This Fall TV season all the buzz for new shows seems to be for Desperate Housewives, CSI:NY, Jack and Bobby and even Joey. Those shows are alright in my book but my favorite new show isn't on the established networks or even the WB. It's on UPN!! No, I'm not talking about WWE Smackdown! This is a new show, remember. No, I am not talking about Kevin Hill starring Taye Diggs (which is a cute show and has been getting some buzz of it's own).I'm talking about Veronica Mars. Loved by the critics, most of them poo pooing that the show was on the wrong network, it receives very little buzz but has managed to stir up a cult following.
You've probably never heard of it, and my dear friends in the UK, Joolie and A-M will probably never get to see it despite the fact that UPN has just ordered a full season of 22 episodes. So what about this 'little show that could' has got me all excited? I don't know...may be it's because the writing is good, the characters are real and complicated, the actors are talented and fit perfectly into their roles or that Veronica is one-part Nancy Drew, one-part Chloe Sullivan (Smallville) and two-parts Angela Chase (My So-Called Life).
Story to date:
Veronica is a highschool student living in the town of Neptune, California - home of the haves and have-nots with very few in-between. The highschool itself is very much segregated across those lines - even the teachers do not disguise their biased behavior towards the wealthier students. At the beginning of the show we find out that Veronica's best-friend (and sister to her wealthy ex-boyfriend, Duncan), Lily Kane has died under mysterious circumstances, her father was kicked out of office as town sheriff when a recall was initiated when he accused Lily's father of her murder, and her mom abandoned them during this turbulent time. We see that Veronica and her Dad have rebounded - her Dad running a detective agency with Veronica helping out on some of the cases and Veronica, no longer with the in-crowd, has made new friends and tries to make the best of things. So we all want to know
- Who killed Lily Kane? - Why did Veronica's Mom split town? - Why did Duncan break up with Veronica? - Why is no one watching this show????
I know, I know. The last question - it's on UPN. So, if you're bored on a Tuesday night at 8pm ET/7pm ET (with repeats the following Tuesday on MTV at 7pm ET/6pm ET), check it out.

I htink it's a really good show but I'm afraid it might get cancelled before they answer all those questions.
