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.

and :)

LOL I dont know how to feel about it either... I agree with what you said.

I guess maybe it would be okay, cuz then they prolly would have less filler episodes and get to more mystery solving?

But... I want a whole season!

I don't get it. It's one of UPN's best shows... why do they want to get rid of it?

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.

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? ;)
