Veronica Mars Wins!

For all of you who don't watch Veronica Mars on Tuesday nights, 9pm, on UPN, well you better start. It's pretty much one of the best shows on TV and a critic favorite, but one of the most underwatched.

But hopefully that will, change, because Veronica Mars won E! Entertainment Online's Save Our Show campaign. This will hopefully bring the show much needed exposure, and viewers.

The part that is most astounding is the overwhelming percentage the show won by, even ahead of shows such as Arrested Development and American Dreams. The other shows up for votes didn't even hit higher than a 10% portion of the votes.

I won't go into a synopsis of the show here because I have many links towards the bottom of my sidebar that could offer you much better details of the show. However I will give you reasons why I watch it.

1. Very smart, witty writing
2. Extremely intriguing mysteries spanning the entire season (who killed Lily Kane? Where is Veronica's mom? Who violated Veronica at the party? and more).
3. Excellent character development, making viewers love and sympathize with everyone, including the villain of the show.
4. A father daughter relationship that warms the heart without being cheesy.

It's just a great show. So, I am doing my part by promoting it here. It does come on at the same time as The Amazing Race, but come on, this is what VCR's and TiVo's were made for! And for those of you who have teens watching TV at this time, this show is so much better than One Tree Hill!

There's another re-run set to air this upcoming Tuesday, but it's a good one to watch to get a bit updated on how the show works. But then, it's all brand new episodes for the next seven weeks starting March 29th (Woohoo! I can't wait)!

Congrats to everyone who has anything to do with Veronica Mars for this victory. Now, if only TV Guide would bring back their popular feature of the past "The Best Show You're Not Watching" (past winners included Party of Five and Seventh Heaven), and put our beloved Veronica Mars on the cover of the magazine, then I would be really happy and hopeful. As for now, this feature from E! Online will for sure secure VM for a second season.
