Reposted on: 11.1.12 2249.51 | Does anyone else watch Veronica Mars? The show has quickly become one of my favorites. It doesn't get the greatest of ratings, since it's on UPN, and anyone I ever mention it to says, "Never heard of it." However, the show is just great. Great writing, fantastic acting, particulary by Kristin Bell, who manages to hit a home run with every line. Not to mention, she's a hottie. In addition, the large story arc of who killed Lilly Kane has so many layers and tons of suspects. There's got to be someone else out there who watches this show. | Promote this thread! |             | GoddamnJordan

Reposted on: 12.1.12 0037.28 | You know, I love continuity in my shows and so far this is just fantastic.
I love it, its just so... comfortable to watch. I always compare it to Lost just because they're two new dramas that are great. I'm sure Lost is probably more of a quality show, but I love Veronica Mars more. Maybe teen shows with ongoing story-lines just turn my crank. Its very Buffy-like in that way.
Smart writing, great acting, the mix of the funny and the drama.
I don't care if it becomes a hit, I just hope enough people watch for it to have a nice, long run.
And who knew that guy from Just Shoot Me could be more awesome than awesome. | Nuclear Winter

Never read 'em. Nor have I read The Hardey Boys. Isn't there a girl detective series that I also never read?
EDIT: Yeah, thanks Ryan_A, Nancy Drew. Never read those ones either.

Reposted on: 13.1.12 1418.18 | | Encyclopedia Brown solved stuff like the disappearance of Annie Mae's apple pie from the county bake-off, I don't think he solved too many murder cases. That Bugs Meany was an unscrupulous rogue, but he wasn't poppin' caps in anyone's ass. | whatever

Having read pretty much the complete works of Encyclopedia Brown when I was a kid, this just cracked me up completely. You know this would be in "The New Adventures of Encyclopedia Brown". | JustinShapiro

Reposted on: 13.1.12 1555.26 | | Okay, yes, I lied about murders in Encyclopedia Brown -- you cracked the case, you meddling miscreant. But Veronica is an updated, hotter Encyc B for the years 2004 and 2005. In this post-9/11 world of terrorism and prison torture, apple pies and missing sneakers just don't carry the same amount of gravitas. Also this girl is a major babe. | | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
