Shark Bytes

I loved this show and was livid when it was canclled by the CW without the show being able to wrap things up.
I think a huge mistake was that is season 3 two new characters were added as regulars ( Piz and Julie i think her name was ). Also Weevil didn't get as much airtime as was deserved.
But the orginal premis of the show was lost ( Veronica best friend was killed, who really did it ?). I was disappointed to find out that on the season 3 dvd's there was no Veronica Mars FBI ( as many people speculated there would be ) to show what has become of Veronica, Logan, and others 4 years down the road.

this show really ticks me off it sucks and i hate it

Veronica Mars, to it's credit, was undone by the growth of the main characters. Veronica's heavy convictions and intellectual nature mandate that the she grows up. By season 2, she's no longer an underdog. By season 3 her spunky/jaded dichotomy has given way to an affected college girl mellowness. Episode by episode the characters become unrecognizable from the archetypes they originated as. The show's unique appeal became diluted and indistinct from common soap operas. There are plenty of examples (isolated black nerd becomes basketball star) but the worst violation was taking a perfectly good shallow, rich jerk (Casablancas) and turning him into a weepy shell of a man. Yikes. What's next in season 4: Dick struggles with his orientation in episode 2, comes out in episode 6 and is victim to a hate crime providing Veronica her crime-du-jour in episode 8? Unrealistic? Maybe not. Bad television? Yes I think so.

In summary, the shark jump happened at the end of 2, although the episode Postgame Mortem helped me through a rough break-up so season 3 isn't all bad.

I just think they could have done season 3 a little better. I didn't like how they did weevil's character. They turned him into a janitor just to keep him in the show. I think they should have started with him in jail and then getting out or whatever.

I found Season3 better than Season 2. In the Season 2 finale, they just brought it on and expected us to completely believe this huge anvil they dropped. At least with the Season 1 finale, we got some slight hints with Aaron having cheated. But there was no clue to connect Beaver (sorry, Cassidy- who was a great character before that).
Season 3 was pretty good except for the fact that Veronica had made a sex tape. I liked Piz, but that was a bit weird.
Veronica Mars was cancelled because CW wanted this show kicked off and put it beside one of TV's biggest hits- way to be oblivious, CW!
This was a really great show and just never got the ratings it severely deserved, unlike the Pussycat Dolls show.

Dick Casablancas ruled! I loved this show.

i think that as much as i will always love this show, if i had to pick the jumping point it will be season three--not because of the creators, but because of the unreal pressure placed upon it by the cw.

it was placed in a fickle timeslot, that kept changing, it would dissappear randomly without warning and no one knew what week it would be back. they even broke apart the original rhythm--the season arc mystery was the best part of the series, it gave you something to work for. the rape story was alright, but dean odells murder was lackluster, and by the end the individual episodes made it impossible for new viewers to become truly invested...

placing it against american idol, without proper advertising, and losing the support of the established fanbase with ridiculous changes hung veronica out to dry--she was murdered.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadddddd show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This show sucked so bad. You had to have the attention span of Mr. Miyagi to enjoy it or even understand what was going on. The network tried to push it down our throats, tried to make us like it so very very badly and it still didn't work.

The best episode was the one with the teacher who serially hit on female students.

ew depressing an disturbing emo show

I can not believe people blame this shows unpopularity on the CW's bad advertising and America's unintelligance! Denial much! This show sucked!

stupid emo show lighten up people

I don't believe that this show ever jumped. My roommate and I began watching an episode after Gilmore girls last year absentmindedly (3rd season of VM) and became completely hooked. We have since watched the first 2 seasons on DVD (in about 8 days), and I have to say that this show was amazing! How it could get canceled is beyond me. The dialog is fantastic, especially with Veronica and Logan, and the acting was superb (although Duncan did leave a bit to be desired). I am really going to miss this show.

It never jumped. Sure it went down a tiny bit in quilty in season three. But there was nothing that made it jump the shark.

Hey Dave. If you're an example of the type of viewer that the "intelligent" Veronica Mars attracted, your argument might actually be a little convincing if you learned to spell.
