Veronica Mars

Reviews of Veronica Mars have overall been pretty positive, but since it's airing on UPN, I was a little uncertain of its prospects. Last fall, UPN quickly killed Jake 2.0 which was not great, but if a show can't even survive on UPN, things are not looking good. However, Veronica Mars looks like it will be around for a bit longer since it will be reairing on MTV. The good news is that this will get rid of one of my scheduling conflicts since its UPN timeslot overlaps with Scrubs. The bad news is it gets rid of one of my scheduling conflicts making it possible for me to record yet anther hour of TV.

Some middling shows will have to be dropped in order to leave me with a reasonable amount of TV to watch every week. Otherwise I won't be able to go to work because I'll have too much TV to watch!

Speaking of Veronica Mars... turns out it's actually quite entertaining.
I kept thinking Veronica was a clone of Chloe from Smallville, she even had the whole camera/investigative thing going on.

To briefly go into the actual content of the pilot episode...

Veronica is an outcast in a school full of rich=spoiled=evil kids. She used to be one of them, when her dad (the photographer from Just Shoot Me) was the town Sheriff, but dramatic circumstances ended up causing the loss of his job, her status, and her mom.
Now Daddy is a private investigator and Veronica works for him, while at the same time doing good deeds on the side and wrecking havoc against the evil hordes of the city. Without a wooden stake.

Excellent.
