Bad news: The CW has canceled Veronica Mars. And despite widespread rumors, there’s not going to be a spinoff. Star Kristen Bell (pictured, with Chris Lowell, left, and Jason Dohring) is slated to narrate this fall’s new CW series, Gossip Girl. I’ll admit I don’t know much about VM, but I do know how committed its fans are, so I’m sure a "voice of Kevin Arnold"-like gig feels to you all like a huge slap in the face.
Let’s send off this show in the only way PopWatch knows how:

sob sob sob. Greatest show ever.
Dawn Ostroff lies
Quality does not matter
Skanks and hos for all
I’m referring to this excerpt from an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on April 4:
THR: What will help you make your final decision about your schedule next year?
Ostroff: I think it’s going to be all about the quality of the shows and believing in the series.
The CW is DEAD.TO.ME. And, Kristen Bell doing voice-overs is like drinking a flat cola – just a taste, with none of the fizz.
This is the worst new ever. This show was amazing.
The CW has nothing left for smart people to watch…
Veronica Mars
Gone but not soon forgotten
Thanks for naught CW
So…how long before we can say goodbye to the CW network?
So my first line wasn’t 5 syllables…
Dawn Ostroff tells lies
Quality does not matter
Skanks and hos for all!
No hiaku here, Annie. The cw cancelled one of the smartest shows around. They promoted the show badly, when did at all. And pre-empted it with the pussycat dolls(?).
Last year, they cancelled Everwood, forced out the creators of Gilmore Girls and now this.
Their schedule for next year is reality and soaps for 12-year old girls. Enjoy kids.
Dawn Dawn dawn. How could you how could you. Im a male in his 30’s I have all of the VM’s from the beggin TIVO’d. And then you do this kill it for the pussycat dolls. Dont wish your network was better than trash doncha
and dawn is the holedigger and the crap she likes is the soil
Well, VM got crappy towards the end when it split up Ver and Logan and brought in Piz. unless they reunite in the finale! pleasepleaseplease let it be.
Who wants to join my
Ostroff boycott? Miss Mars, you’ll
Always have Backup
VM was the only reason I ever watched CW. I know I’ll get nailed for this, but the way most of this season went especially the last half), the cancellation may be for the best. What they did to Logan was just plain criminal. Put S1 on repeat and add a splash of S2 every so often. And don’t forget to watch Friday Night Lights.
Too bad. I haven’t followed the show very closely, and I’ve only seen a few episodes here and there. Naturally, due to the nature of the show, I was a bit confused and didn’t understand the long, on-going mysteries. However, I enjoyed what little I did see. Too bad – it looked like a really good and smart show.
But what do you expect from the network that cancelled Reba? That was an even stranger decision because, despite the awful promotion and time slot, it was STILL one of the network’s top five shows. Grrrrr……
I’d like to blame Dawn O. and the CW, but the fact that most of this country would rather watch crap like the Pussycat Dolls can’t be ignored. There do not seem to be enough intelligent people left to sustain a quality program like VM. I fear for our future based on the lack of taste and brain cells of the general viewing public.
First Gilmore, and now Veronica? DAMMIT CW! WTF?! You lure me into your subpar network (i) with the only two shows that were ever good on the WB and UPN (don’t) just so you could cancel those much beloved shows (think) see if I would follow you into your even crappier programming (so!)? I’ll repeat: I DON’T THINK SO. I wash my hands of the CW!
i’m not in disbelief that veronica mars was cancelled. unfortunately, the show itself lost its character; not is brilliant writing or fantastic acting, but it lost its essence. the first season defied all generic tv and unfortunately, that passion and dedication can’t be replicated season after season. that being said, even on its worst day, vmars soared above 99% of all other television programs. mostly, i will miss the actor’s interpretations of the writer’s brilliant dialogue combined wholly with the unheradled direction and production of the show. overall, television is losing so much of its creativity and originiality in cancelling a show that truly pushed the envelope. what does it say about our demographic that we renew a show about finding the next PUSSYCAT DOLL and these incredibly talented actors must abandon a program of such quality. though vmars only averaged about 3 million, 3 million people, all individuals, will begin the 2007 season much more empty than before.
Ok so no Gilmore Girls AND no Veronica Mars. What am I supposed to do on Tuesday’s now? Hey, but we still got One Tree Hill!!!! (Yes, that was sarcasm)
I never watched it but heard from Stephen King’s articles he loved the show.
You mean the CW cancelled a show SK enjoyed?? I smell a new novel where an insane person kidnaps the head of the CW and make them write a new VM season…oh crap wait he’s already done Misery. Darn he’s ahead of himself.
Losing both VM and GG sucks. The CW wasn’t worthy of either show, though and I’m glad I won’t have to watch the most annoying network on TV now. Those Cover Girl ads between commercials the other night were maddening!
I can’t believe EW never put this wonderful show on it’s cover (but F***in’ American Idol gets a cover a month it seems. Like they need the publicity. Come on EW!!) or truly gave it all the support it deserved after the first season (although the unparallelled brilliance of the first season makes it VM’s best, the second and third were also completely amazing and not to be missed!). Watch out Friday Night Lights, EW may seem like your pimp now, but it’s a fickle friend.
ARAMIS! you’re hilarious! and I so agree!
Boo! If they really wanted to give this show a chance, they would’ve paired it off with Top Model.
Okay, how’s this?
Kristen Bell – so hot!
But the CW thought not, so…
Ostroff has no clue.
Brian, thanks. I’ve vented on yet another hilarious blog entry:

take a peek.
Thank you CW for taking 2 great shows off the air and loosing me as a viewer. As riveting and complex as Pussycat dolls is, i think im gonna skip it!
Curse you CW.Shame on you CW!!!!
In the CW/UPN’s defense, they did pair it with Top Model last year. It still got bad ratings. I love the show, but people just did not watch it. It got three years on CW, where it would have been pulled after 5 episodes on CBS.
My husband said the CW network is coming to a nearby town this weekend to cast their reality show about marrying a farmer or something like that. Would love to show up their with “You should have saved Veronica” signs.
She solves all the crimes
She is smarter than I am
Logan is so cute
