"Veronica Mars" Likely Canned

The day we’ve all dreaded has come, tubers.

With actual tears in my eyes, I must tell you that I’ve heard from several solid sources that the CW has decided not to bring Veronica Mars back for a fourth season.

Though official word has not yet come down from the network, I did hear from creator Rob Thomas earlier this week, who told me things weren’t looking good: “I’ve never been less certain of our fate. I’m afraid I’ve gone from cautiously optimistic to something less than that.”

More on this later. I’m just too distraught to write more right now.

What? Really. I cant believe that, I thought it was a very populare show. What does the CD have thats better.

I like this season also.

the cw has nothing better to put up, but this is an update on what vulture put up.

"You may have seen my earlier report that Veronica Mars has been canceled.

Well, let me just say that though I heard this heart-wrenching info in a definitive fashion from six--yes, six--reliable sources on both the network and studio side...that news may have been somewhat misguided. Although this "cancellation" rumor ran rampant around all sectors of Hollywood today, it turns out the picture is more complex than a straight canceled-or-not-canceled scenario.

At this hour, here's what I can tell you:

I just heard from Veronica mastermind and showrunner Rob Thomas, who tells me, "If we're cancelled, I certainly don't know about it."

Though Rob did not say anything further, inside sources at the CW have explained to me a more detailed version of the situation:

According to network insiders, the CW has not officially canceled Veronica Mars. However, they are currently considering a different format for the fourth season. That format would leap four years into the future and focus on Veronica Mars as an FBI agent. The rest of the cast, aside from Kristen Bell, is yet to be determined.

So bottom line: Veronica Mars could be: 1) spinning off into a new format, 2) returning in her college years or 3) getting canceled.

And let me just say, number 3 could be a very real possibility, so it is time to rally the troops before it's too late! If you care about Veronica Mars and want it to survive, please comment below with your name and message of support. (I will forward to the powers that be at the CW.) Then send your Save Veronica postcard or letter to:

Dawn Ostroff
President of Entertainment, The CW Television Network
4000 Warner Boulevard, Bldg 168
Burbank, CA 91522-0002
Los Angeles, CA 90025-6602

And let me just say to the CW, cancelling Veronica would be a mistake of epic proportions. It is by far the best thing going on the green net, and one of the most addictive, beloved and well-written series on television. The fans would not take its cancellation lightly."

and now that i put that up, all i gotta say is that i don't want this show to get cancelled. i love this show and look forward to seeing it on tuesday nights. a night of veronica mars and ecw wrestling is what my tuesdays are made of, if i'm not working. i got into this show at the end of the first season and just couldn't stop watching it. i don't have the dvds but now i have to have them. let's hope that the show lives on, whatever format they choose, just as long as the stories remain great.

Thanks for the news RLM. I think them changing the format would be a dumb idea. I prefer the current format. But if they ended up doing so, I would give it a chance so long as the core cast kept up with appearances on the show. We'll see.....

They better not cancel. I love this show.

**open32** · 03-16-2007, 01:08 PM

I like it the way it is but I wouldnt mind them changing it to the FBI agent thing. Its the writting and Veronicas chararcter that make the show good.

i'd like to see veronica as an fbi agent. as long as they keep keith mars and mac i'd be happy with the show. most of the the other cast is hardly used at all. wallace rarely appears and weevil just shows up whenever they need some body or clue to be discovered. they just got rid of the sheriff. also VM needs to get away from logan already, i'm actually bored of that storyline. and **** casablancas is really not needed in the show as well. like i said besides veronica, only keith and mac should stay within the show.

***hahahaha....... ok uh i guess his full name is richard? the site just blocked out the character's first name. that's funny.***
