Fans of Veronica Mars can now rejoice, sort of. According to Alan Sepinwall of The Star-Ledger, executive producer Rob Thomas has confirmed that the back seven episodes of the series have been picked up. This would make 20 episodes for this season. Traditionally, networks pickup the back nine episodes of a series to make it a 22-episode run.
Since this information is so brand new, Thomas says it will take some time to figure out how the last two story arcs will play out. However, he does confirm to the last arc will comprise of four-episodes. The second story-arc is currently being worked on.
Does this mean that Veronica Mars is in danger of not being renewed? Who knows this early in the season. Sepinwall thinks that the shortened order run may be due to penny pinching by the network, whose first year on the air has not been as stellar as they thought it would be.

The CW is the same thing as WB. No one liked the shit they showed before, why would that change?

It used to be that I would have been up in arms if there was nary the mention of Veronica Mars being cancelled (especially in the first season), but as of late, I'm starting to tire of the show. It could be that the show seems more arrogant now than it has in the past, or that it seems like Rob Thomas had one good season and story in him.
But I don't know if I'm as confident as Alan in the 20 episode order. If the show's good, then the extra couple episodes should not be a burden on the studio to make. I mean, I doubt the show is losing money, but at the same time, I can't see it making much.

Well, perhaps the thing to do would be to move Kristen Bell to another skein on CBS. Or even better, have her reprise her character from HBO's "Deadwood" on some new Showtime series (keeping her in the CBS family).

So if they cancel it in America will it be cancelled in the UK also?
Have the ratings been crap or something?
