Veronica Mars fans prove that they are really a cult fan base

What happens when Mars fans like us get disappointed by the sad news that Veronica Mars might be axed for good, despite all our efforts to vote like crazy in teavee and SOS? We fight back, Veronica Mars style. Veronica Mars never gave up. She gets insulted, she insults back. Her car's tires are sabotaged, she sabotages suspect's car. Her "personal" life is shot in video, and her video is scattered all over email, she retaliates and finds out just who the frak did that to her. Her best friend dies, she finds out who murders her, even if no one would support her.

Veronica Mars show is doomed to extinction, we spend all our hard-earned money to buy loads of Mars Bars and marshmallows to send to Dawn Ostroff and make a statement. Hell Yeah.

These Mars Bars cost roughly $2 each, and it's a small price to pay to keep the best show alive. Kristen Bell hasn't lost hope in the show. Why should we? To support, please go to: http://scramblenetwork.wordpress.com/mars/ or http://theindianfoodstore.blogspot.com/ or http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RQ0ZPC?tag=indfooadd-20&camp=14573&creative=327641&linkCode=as1&creativeASIN=B000RQ0ZPC&adid=13NZCNEZX1E5NNNNM7ZY&

Now let me give you 10 reasons why this show must not be axed:

1. It is a critically acclaimed show. Famous talents like Stephen King agree.

2. It has a cult fan base. These are fans who are willing to send out Mars Bars, vote like crazy in any online poll that will show their love for Veronica Mars, bombard you with emails, sign petitions, create websites in Veronica Mars' name, create any multimedia for Veronica Mars, even donate money from their pockets to make this show stay as long as possible. (Just as I have pointed above)

3. We got 1st place in the teavee polls and acquired a very big lead against the other shows (like One Tree Hill). We got 2nd place in the Save One Show of eonline. We have over 38,750 signatures on the online petition and we are one of the most active petitions on petitiononline.com. The numbers continue to grow.

4. Girlfriends was renewed and it has lower ratings than Veronica Mars, and has been staying on for many more seasons than Veronica Mars, so it has less of an excuse why it still has bad ratings.

5. Veronica Mars just came into CW this year. One cannot count the last two seasons as a way to determine whether VM will work or not. People are just beginning to find out about this outstanding show, it's considered a new show for this network. Shouldn't we at least give it another chance?

6. The Pussycat Dolls show caused confusion for new viewers. A lot of people assumed that VM was gone, so they didn't watch after VM came back.

7. VM has changed our consumer experience. I, for one, now purchase items that Veronica Mars herself wore in the shows. And I'm not the only one. There is, in fact, a community that talks only about what brand and where to buy Veronica Mars' stuff. VM is that influential, and it is quite good for the sponsors.

8. I have created several articles, wallpapers, buddy icons to praise a show like Veronica Mars.

9. I take time out of my extremely hectic life to support this show. And I am not just the only one who does this. I am backed by other fans who have busy lives of their own, but still stay till the wee hours of the morning to vote at teavee.com, to post at CW forums, to thank and support the sponsors of VM, to do anything and EVERYTHING to show their support for this remarkably witty show. You can't find fans more dedicated than us.

10. Even their very own Dawn Ostroff loves this show.


Aren't these reasons enough?

Which would you prefer? A farmer looking for a wife or a young female detective solving crimes?

Which would you prefer? A farmer looking for a wife or a young female detective solving crimes, unraveling deep dark secrets, dishing out witty repartees, and living out college drama? Seriously, is anyone going to choose the first one? I cannot for the life of me understand the charm in seeing a farmer look for a wife. How is it any different from the Australian dude that was looking for a wife, and the Bachelor, aside from the cows, chickens, and crops?

And how does Mother of Pageants grab you? The synopsis is about a group of mother and daughters vying to be the winners of this pageant. Now how cheesy is that? Can we all say "World boredom" together?

And Life is Wild? Ho hum. Caught the preview and they were just fussing over an injured lion cub (granted the cub was really cute but premise-wise and acting-wise, I think this show isn't gonna be as hot as the Safari's weather)

What I'm looking forward to is definitely Gossip Girl and The Reaper. The CW was very sneaky to have Kristen Bell as the narrator of the show because it certainly adds a lot of plus points for a Veronica Mars fan like me. The Reaper's premise is certainly interesting and hilarious and the previews did not disappoint. I see a Jack Black in the making for one of the main actor's sidekick.

The CW lineup is pretty okay. Could do better without the farmer and with the witty female private investigator. I'm sure the messy ratings of the farmer reality show will prove that. I'm still quite bitter that Veronica Mars isn't in the lineup.

Bye Bye Gilmore Girls

This just in. Gilmore Girls is finally saying goodbye.

From the CWTV Blog:
“Announcing the final season of ‘Gilmore Girls’ is truly a sad moment for everyone at The CW and Warner Bros. Television. This series helped define a network and created a fantastic, storybook world featuring some of television’s most memorable, lovable characters."

A great new Veronica Mars episode, A great night at American Idol

After the longest hiatus (due to a highly "intellectual" reality show to pick the next pussycat doll), Veronica Mars has finally come back... and in my opinion, with a vengeance. The episode had all the Veronica Mars elements we love - witty repartees, the Logan and Veronica angst, a good mystery, and all the good ol' characters we've come to love in the first season. Of course, the episode would have been better if Parker was duct taped to a chair gagging on a handkerchief and miles away from Logan, but that couldn't have been helped.

My opinion on Pizonica? I like it. I know I'll be dodging many proverbial tomatoes but objectively speaking, they look great together, and Piz is a sweet guy. Piz and Logan are so different and that is the beauty of this whole Pizonica relationship. If you're still gagging, just remember the jealousy that Piz has sparked in Logan. You just gotta love that scene at the elevator. And here it is again:






So, whether you're an avid LoVe shipper or open to the Pizonica fling, I think you should find this episode quite good. Stay tuned for the next episode, where Piz and Veronica's relationship is questioned by Paul Rudd and... (Drum roll please) Logan! Tut tut, Logan, you go with Parker, you lose.

Now to American Idol, Bon Jovi Night. If you think, for one second, that American Idol produces unoriginal belters and the show is becoming boring, here's one performance that will change your mind, I guarantee it.



How can you possibly top that??? Blake Lewis managed to make something as mainstream and cheesy as "You Give Love a Bad Name" into a really modern Blake-y song! I also love his quirks when he sings, the way he points to the air whenever he's about to sing a high-pitched part of the song. Blake Lewis rocks.

Michael Muhney talks about his role as Sheriff Lamb and his "brown piece-of-crap shirt and those tight-ass pants" sheriff's uniform

I just read an interview with Michael Muhney at http://www.eonline.com/gossip/kristin/detail/index.jsp?uuid=968f7cfa-c662-4d3e-aa7f-a46931d1525f
It's one of my favorite interviews thus far.

I do agree that Sheriff Lamb's death was underplayed.

A funny highlight of the interview:

Anything you won't miss?
I won't miss wearing the most wildly uncomfortable and ugly sheriff's uniform of all time! I felt like I was walking around in a brown paper bag. So, I am not going to miss that brown piece-of-crap shirt and those tight-ass pants. At any given time, if there was a scene that was shooting me from the chest up, I was always wearing flip flops and board shorts. I could not stand wearing those pants!

Hey, I thought you looked good!
Those pants were so tight they gave me unicheek. Just one butt cheek smooshed together. If I had any advice for Keith I would say, if you have any gas, let it all out before you put those pants on, because it ain’t coming out once you get them on.

So in that picture, Lamb's actually wearing board shirts and flip flops. Good mental picture ;)

As a tribute I have 3 IM icons for him.

Save Veronica Mars + 1 VM wallpaper :)

Veronica Mars has been on a hiatus to accomodate the Pussycat Dolls contest and I've been having withdrawal symptoms already. I personally hate that a show such as Veronica Mars, characterized by such wit, talent, suspense, and drama, could be replaced by a show of girls shaking their booty. Seriously, it should be a crime.

Anyway, I am not going to rant on and on about the injustice of it all. Instead, I'm going to introduce you to the Save Veronica Mars campaign. As fellow Veronica Mars fans would know, the show is teetering on a very thin line and is in danger of getting cut. This would be the real injustice. We simply cannot let them stop one of the best shows ever made, especially when we have yet to see Logan and Veronica's relationship come to its fruition. TV viewing will not be the same without Veronica Mars.

To support this cause, please please PLEASE go to this link to e-Online:

http://www.eonline.com/polls/full_page_poll.jsp?pollID=6084

and vote for Veronica Mars!

This show still has so much to offer - so many new plot twists, situations, loose ends to tie up, etc!

For those who have not yet tried watching, please do try watching it. You can view the episodes online at http://www.cwtv.com/shows/veronica-mars. I promise you the show will not disappoint. It's got anything you'd want - drama, comedy, love triangles, good-looking actors (<3 jason dohring), plot twists, A+ acting!

To VM fans, here's 1 wallpaper. Comments welcome :)

Thanks! :)
