I just accidentally ran out of Veronica Mars. I thought I had a whole disc to go but it turns out the last disc is all "special features." You know what special feature I would have really liked? ANOTHER FOUR EPISODES OF VERONICA MARS. Now what am I supposed to do? Write my paper?
The worst part about falling in love with canceled shows is, well, they're canceled. No matter how hard you hope, there will never be another episode of Firefly, or of Freaks and Geeks, or of Veronica Mars. If I ever become a multi-millionaire (I know we're all holding our breath on that one) I'm going to start a network for niche shows that are astoundingly good but that don't pull in bottom-line ratings. Then the rest of the world can enjoy O.N.A.N. Idol or Incest Dancers or whatever the hell they want to watch and those of us with IQs higher than the average can of Chef Boyardee Spaghetti with Meatballs can enjoy some quality programming.

I tried getting into it when it was on television but I kept jumping in mid-season, and superficially I was annoyed at how similar to Buffy the dialogue was. But watching from season one on got me really hooked. I recommend it.
