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.

hmmm...I read somewhere VM will get picked up for 12 episodes for VM, Everwood too and 13 episodes for 7th Heaven (though I thought it was already cancelled). Perhaps The CW can't pay for more than a half season? ;)

I heard after this article was poasted about VM being picked up for 13 theories that maybe the CW was going to pick up Everwood and One Tree Hill for 13 so they wouldn't have to cancel any of them (because they were the three kind of fighting for a spot, although it wasn't a "Only one can make it!" sort of thing, either), but then right after that the other article was released saying that Everwood was cancelled. So, at this point, I don't really have a clue.

Heh, yeah, 7th Heaven was already cancelled, and had been promoted for months as being the last season ever and to be sure not to miss the finale episode ever of the show. And then the CW decided it'd make much more sense to pick up the show even though it's gone on for like 10 seasons and is actually losing them money at this point. I think they're picking it up for only 13 so that people who were fans of it will follow it over to the CW and then after it's done, find other shows on the network to watch. But I still find it ridiculous it's being picked up at all.

I don't want Everwood to be cancelled :( And Veronica Mars neither. I like both shows a lot *sniff* But I wouldn't mind 7th Heaven cancelled, I never liked that one.
