TV Guide is reporting that Veronica Mars just got renewed for a third season. According to creator Rob Thomas, The CW is picking up Mars for 22 episodes, with an agreement that if ratings are bad, it'll drop back to 13 episodes.Also from TV Guide, word that One Tree Hill is renewed but Everwood is canceled. Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Wow, that was a fast pickup on the tip.
Anyways, it's damned good news for us fans of the show. I just really, really, really hope ratings are strong enough to let it go the distance. Nothing would be more cruel than cutting the mystery off midseason...

YES, that should be the other way around. Does the world really need more Chad Michael Murray? I think not. Obviously crazy excited for the VM news, but really bummed about Everwood.

Omg how bad would that suck if they decide to do that!? At least Rob knows that going in so he can hopefully be prepared to have an ending for us just in case. But everyone who loves Veronica needs to get the buzz out to people who dont so it can stay on for more than just this year. In my opinion, its the best show out right now and the best since Buffy. I have this site to thank for turning me on to it, in fact, so keep it up people.

I just don't understand. How can Everwood be cancelled and these two go on?. Veronica Mars is a great show, but unfortunatley, no one is watching. One Tree Hill?. Over Everwood?. Everwood is much higher rated than both of them and is a critical darling like Mars. Does this network know what they are doing?. Doesn't seem like it.

THAT IS INSANE!!! ONE TREE HILL SUCKS! EVERWOOD IS A GREAT SHOW AND SHOULD KEEP GOING. VERONICA MARS IS A GOOD CHOICE TO KEEP. I AGREE WITH THE OTHER COMMENTS IT DOESNT SEEM AS IF THE CW NETWORK KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING!!!!!!

I also hope you are right about One Tree Hill. Like alot of people, I hated the show when it first came out. I hated most of the characters. They were mean and snobby and there was nothing to like about them. But the more I watched, the more I saw depth to those characters. I got to the point where I hated to miss a single episode. And with the season finale being a cliffhanger, I can't wait for the next season.

Sounds like VM is being "renewed" in the Arrested Development sense of the word, and we all saw how that turned out. And I can't believe OTH and 7th Heaven will be back and Everwood won't be. That show has at least three of my favorite characters on TV today (Harold, Bright and Hannah). Gah.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You CW for keeping Veronica Mars, it is a fantastic show and their are two faithful watchers in my house. And we will keep watching even if it means buying Skechers or Coke a Cola or whoever is your sponser. Bummer about Everwood, but lets be honest that show needed help badly, too many lull points. OTH has a hotty cast so u can't argue with that, and I would like to see who survives the limo crash. 7th heaven? pff that show has more lives then my cat, btw my cat died a couple of years ago, which is what should have happend to 7th heaven.

I think that the WB killed Everwood by doing that 3 month hiatus.

It's a bummer that Everwood was cancelled, but I think it's best for the show. It's been coasting all season and hasn't been as good as the highs that it hit during seasons one and two for quite a while. It'll be nice for the show to go out on a relatively high note than letting it drag on. However, it does stink that this show was cancelled most likely in favor of crap like One Tree Hill and the re-emergence of 7th Heaven.

Well, at least Everwood can wrap up the series nicely. If OTH got canceled, we woulda got left with a cliffhanger. The producers of EW were ready for this, and have filmed two versions of the finale: one series and the other season.

For all the haters, One Tree Hill is truly a wonderful show. Does anyone realize how many fans this show has? There were petitions, websites, and polls dedicated for this show not getting cancelled. It won almost every poll it was on and it deserves a 4th season.
As for Everwood, it really is too bad because it is an incredible show, but you win some and you lose some.
I've never been a watcher of Veronica Mars, but it seems to have a great fan base also.
Is 7th Heaven really coming back? It ended so weird with everyone having twins and Simon maybe being the father of Sandy's baby, i'm anxious to see if anyone really tunes in to see how those dumb story lines carry out.
CW will be an interesting station.

YEAHHHHH!!!! Veronica Mars so happy doing a little happy dance at my computer! But a forewarning that if they cruelly cancel it after 13 episodes I will strike against that station forever! What's this nonsense about 7th Heaven didn't they just have a big da-do about the series finale?
