So, uh, tvguide.com is reporting that Veronica Mars is getting picked up for 13 episodes next season. Uh, yay? If it's true, I don't really know how I feel about this. I mean, 13 episodes > 0 episodes, but 22 episodes > 13 episodes. The thing is, I'm afraid that if it were renewed for 22 episodes, and then the ratings sucked at the start of the season, then it would be cut down to 13 anyways, and maybe not in time for everything to be wrapped up. So I don't know. I mean, any Veronica Mars is better than none, but I have this sinking feeling that, if it's renewed for 13, then that's it. Unless it starts getting killer ratings and many more millions of viewers each week, then it's over. blah. I'm so tired about stressing over this. I really need to stay away from all the ratings/season 3 threads at TWoP and just wait until Thursday.

Anyways. Hope everyone had a happy Mother's Day! For Mother's Day, I "gave" my mom my VM S1 and Firefly DVDs. Not really a present, but I've hinted to her enough that she should watch them, and now I'm kind of forcing her to. But, I mean, I forced her to watch Wonderfalls, Arrested Development, and Doctor Who, and she loves them all, so I don't see her not loving Firefly and Veronica Mars. Since that wasn't really a real present, I also made her a mix CD of a bunch of songs, so hopefully she'll like that.

Edit: Of course, the same person reporting VM's pickup for 13 is also reporting Everwood's cancellation, and he seems even more sure of that than VM. So, I guess that kind of puts things in perspective. I mean, with the ratings VM gets, we should be thankful for any sort of pick-up, really.

None of this is set in stone, by the way. Nothing's official until Thursday, so don't start freaking out now.

That sounds like something I'd do. Get someone somehting I like for their birthday. It's the thought that counts right? :D

I hate when shows get picked up for half a season, it basically means you're going in the shithole sooner or later. I really hope it gets the full season. I think it will do much better on CW. NOBODY watches UPN... atleast not VM-type viewers. They watch, well, anything else. heh.

Hee, exactly. And I actually do think she'd really like both shows, so really I'm doing her a favor! I mean, if it weren't for me, she would've never watched Arrested Development, and that's like one of her favorite shows, now.

I know, it really makes me nervous. I'm just kind of hoping that either this info is false and it's actually getting picked up for 22, or that it does really well next season and is picked up for the full 22. I agree, it should do much better off of UPN. Most people I know haven't even heard of Veronica Mars, so if people who have been watching the WB a bunch start seeing ads for it on The CW, they might think "Huh, sounds interesting. I should check it out!" Plus, it's lead-in has been terrible. I mean, sure, it got America's Next Top Model for a lead-in, which is UPN's highest rated show, but at the same time, I wouldn't think the audiences would overlap much. If it is renewed, it'll probably be paired with Gilmore Girls, which I think would be much more fitting (or at the very least, more fitting than ANTM).
