Blog Resurrected: The Death of Mars

Phew.. okay it's been over 6 months since I posted last on here. And now as I can't get on my Flixster pages at work, blocked by websense, whatever. Maybe i'll go back to posting movie reviews on here first.

It seems it is official Veronica Mars has been killed by the CW. And they didn't make it quick and painless did they? Now this was a long drawn out death rattle. The network has succeded in destroying one of the best shows on TV by mis-representing it. The only reason it did as well as it did was through word of mouth. Even I was skeptical at first, but hearing good things from friends me and the wife rented the first season and got hooked.

Based on commercials during the show and promos that run for episodes the CW was aiming the show at a younger audience, these tweens are the ones who aren't going to the get the hilarious pop culture references that litter Veronica's mythos, especially the Big Lebowksi. A movie, that like Veronica Mars is a homage to the great noir works by writers Chandler.

We can only hope enough of a fuss is raised that like Family Guy on FOX someone will realise the error of their ways and bring back this great show.
