VERONICA MARS OFFICIALLY CANCELLED

May 17th, 2007

In a press conference following the CW UpFronts, network president Dawn Ostroff officially revealed to some very disappointed reporters that, “Veronica Mars is not coming back.” Additionally, when asked about the mid-season possibilities or the much talked about FBI scenario — Ostroff shot that down as well saying, “It’s not going to happen.”

A few more questions were tossed Ostroff’s way, but the tone of her answers were pretty clear. She loved the show, Rob Thomas and star Kristen Bell. But VERONICA MARS season four simply isn’t going to happen. Let the mourning begin.

I never watched VM, but you all have my condolences.

Dries Says:

that’s not what i’ve read on other web sites,
apparently they’ll decide on the 15th of june about the spinn-off FBI, may even be without Kristen

paketep Says:

Ok, if my comment is not showing up, then… start with bast, continue with ards, capitalize, add a bunch of exclamations… there you have it.

Jessica Says:

The CW is dead to me. I don’t care how good any of these new shows are. Let the boycott begin.

Vance Says:

I was just about to say that. DEAD TO ME. The CW. The War is ON. (the june 15th thing is over according to Michael Ausiello’s conversation with Ostroff after the presentation at around 12:47pm))

Ern Says:

CW is moving towards reality shows. Nothing to do with the Felicity and so on era.

Andrea Says:

I loved veronica mars, and now that the cw has canned such a great show my tivo would never record anything off of the cw.

Jessica Says:

I only watched the CW for Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars. Two shows about intelligent, fun women and I think that the CW is wrong for replacing them with reality shows that dumb-down America.

Frank Says:

I think this has to be the most devastating televsion season ive ever had. I dont rememeber ever having so many shows i watch regularrly cancelled, and other shows ive enjoyed are suffering seasons so lackluster, ive lost intrest in them all together.

Fall 2007 will be a major television overhaul for me, mabye i should just kill a bunch of brain cells and start enjoying the simplicity of Two and a Half Men, Search for the Next Pussy Cat Doll, and Deal or No Deal. At least i know the NETS will keep around such high rated shows.

Aimee Says:

BYE, BYE, CW! You just lost this viewer.

Mike K. Says:

No, I agree with the posts above. When it was rumored that VM was on the bubble, I wrote to Ms. Ostroff that without VM, I would not have a need to watch the CW. I know, its only one person…

Well, this one person is done. If we don’t stand up for good programming, then we get Pussy Cat Dolls (to name but one piece of trash). I can make due with programming from ‘only’ four major networks and that will be enough.

Thanks CW for making a decision - I have as well.

Josh Says:

Let’s take a look at this schedule. Leaving, we have two shows about intelligent, witty women that feature fantastic casts and writing. Returning in the fall, we have three of the worst reality shows to make it to air (PCD, the farmer one, and the beauty pageant one). It’s appalling.

I’d love to join the CW boycott, but it’s hard for me to give up Supernatural. Maybe I’ll illegally download it. That way, I won’t be seeing the ads that the CW is receiving money for. Bastards.

Sam Says:

So we’re all in agreement then? We’ll all be boycotting CW for their latest huge mistake?

Brad Says:

The CW has nothing left to offer to me. They have lost my support and viewership. Goodbye, CW, it wasn’t really nice knowing you.

hauntinglybluesy Says:

Hey, yeah sorry Veronica Mars was cancelled. I liked the show. A lot. But as long as the CW continues to air and make good decisions concerning Supernatural, I will watch. That’s it. End of story. (Yes, I am that loyal to a TV show *laughs*)

shanna Says:

I’m sad but it’s the case of Arrested Development. VM had three years and it’s not the networks fault if lemmings like the American public would rather tune in week after week to horrible shows. I still don’t get why half of the shows on FOX, NBC or the CW are still on while others are prematurely cancelled or can’t sustain a decent audience. Part of it is the network but an even larger part is the viewing audience.

mars_mg Says:

i saw this coming; but now that it’s real, it simply SUCKS. The worst thing is not getting an ending to a show I absolutely loved. now i know how fans of shows like Freaks and Geeks, Jericho feel. :(

Tim G. Says:

Again, more unnecessary love for awful shows like Smallville, Pussycat Dolls, Stoopernatural & One Tree Hill. I guess this is what the American public wants, shows that just regurgitate story and plot like a mother bird feeding her chicks. God forbid a show have good, intelligent writing and require some thought.

RIP - Veronica Mars, you’re heading up to join all the good shows that stupid people couldn’t be bothered to watch.

Nicole Says:

I love how they base this on “ratings”. Where EXACTLY do these so-called Nielsens Ratings come from? Do you have a Nielsens box? Does your mom? Do your friends? Do you know ANYONE who has one??? Should I hope that another network would pick it up? TNT? HBO?? that would be awesome, but then again all networks are related somehow. Maybe there could be a movie, a la Firefly? I’m sorry, I can’t help but keep the hope alive!

the winners of E! SAVE ONE SHOW POLL both LOST.

Edie Says:

Although I was a loyal Veronica Mars supporter in that I made literally everyone I know watch the first season and speculated endlessly over the trifecta of mysteries and really, really cared about those characters, I am ecstatic that this show is finally being put out of its misery.

Post season one, VM quickly let me down by going from a smart, thrilling teen detective series with a protagonist I admired by becoming yet another ridiculous teen soap full of people I could not ever relate to or care less about. Veronica is no longer a good role model, and the past couple of seasons make me wonder if she ever actually was. The show became all about using the idea of rape for cheap plot thrills and killing people off in effort to get ratings and/or achieve some kind of emotional resonance. Its downwards spiral was incredible, but I guess when you start from the top there’s nowhere else to go but down.

When Supernatural’s better than Veronica Mars… yikes. (But it is! I used to hate it, but I’m all about Supernatural now. It’s like the opposite of VM - it started from nothing and became something more.)

bevin Says:

the cw sucks, i cant belive they would cancel veronica mars. this show is the reason that i look foward to tuesdays. i think if you were smart the network should pick it up midseason. the cw is so stupied they dont relize that if they cancel vm they will lose so many viewers. the network should go rot in hell!

bevin Says:

and for the record if the cw says that,no one watches the show then how come so many people care enough about the show to complain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maia Says:

thanks cw, for cancelling the only shows i watched. This was one of the only shows I REALLY liked. I am not going to watch anything on that chanel anymore.

nicole Says:

attention:

this is all due to something we need to realize is killing american television viewership–

reality t.v.

here’s a thought–i hate it. it’s a bunch of garbage. it’s utterly thoughtless, impersonal, soap opera crap. hey, america, it’s all scripted!!!! sorry to burst your bubble, but not only am i sick of hearing about the plethora of these pathetic shows, but i’m sick of watching 80 nobodys become the next big thing because they can parade around like a poodle when directed. can we appreciate real talent a la kristen bell and alexis bledel.

there goes another unique, cult favorite down the toilet because there wasn’t enough hair pulling, valley girl talking, bashing, bleeped out cursing occuring. at least we got seven seasons of buffy. buffy, like veronica was a cult favorite and had a great viewership, and in the fifth season they thought they were going to have to cancel it because of the move from WB to UPN. both shows featured smart, sassy women with amazing abilities–true brainchilds. i disagree that vmars went down hill after season one. these characters grew and made mistakes–like human beings do–and that’s why people watched. they watched because they cared about veronica and her life. she’s a true heroine and the epitome of good characterization. what sucks is we’ll never have an ending, and i personally don’t care how much blah blah would cost, etc. THE FANS DESERVE A GOOD ENDING. they just do.

rob thomas is a smart man. hopefully, someway, someone out there can give us viewers an ending–at least. since for some of us, it feels like our hearts got ripped out and stomped on. sorry, but i was a little attached to vm.

i echo all that have already said this, but i won’t be tuning into next season’s lineup. i just refuse to. it’s pathetic. i am sick of reality t.v. and i thought the CW was different. i mean from a station (WB before the merge) that birthed such phenomenal shows as buffy, angel (another that had a huge fan base and viewership only to be cancelled) gilmore girls, 7th heaven (it was innovative in its start…we won’t talk about the end) and charmed, what the hell were you thinking add the next farmer, aliens in america, and any other crap.

who will save t.v.? i guess no one. it will perish because reality t.v. isn’t done yet.

and that is truly the most sad thing of all.

RIP vmars. it’s just a shame. an utter shame.

OTHfan Says:

it sucks that Veronica Mars got cancelled. But i’m in the philippines, and watch a different network which also shows vmars. its a great show, but i don’t love it, as long as one tree hill stays, (anyway, it won’t be in the fall line-up, it’ll be in january) i’ll survive.

Laurie Says:

I’m with all of you who will start now and continue the boycott of the CW which has now lost its only remaining intelligent show. To replace said show with a moronic T&A bitchfest like the Pussycat Dolls which is pure stupidity and catfights of a bunch of would-be strippers (and by the way - strippers make more money than these exploited girls ever will), is a crime. I would love to see Veronica Mars picked up by another more intelligent network that isn’t dedicated to the dumbing down of American youth, even if it jumps to Veronica post-college.

I will never watch this network again. And when I feel the need to watch an old episode - let the downloading begin!

m Says:

man, this sucks! i hate CW! Veronica Mars was the best show ever! I thought it was more better than Grey’s Anatomy and i love grey’s anatomy! CW, this is for you: “YOU GUYS SUCK AND I HATE YOU! YOU JUST LOST A VIEWER! ” Veronica Mars was better than gilmore girls or any other show! I want Veronica Mars to come back! CW, sucks ass! Veronica Mars was the Shit! Bye CW!

Another fan Says:

I can’t believe that they actually canceled Veronica Mars. The CW is making a mistake replacing this show with a bunch of wannabe Pussy Cat Dolls and America’s Next FAKE Top Model. This show was the only show that made me want to hurry home to watch the episode and go to the site when I missed an episode. CW just lost another viewer, count me in on the boycott and get rid of those annoying ass wannabe Reality shows.

Naomi J. Says:

I can’t believe they actually cancelled VM! It was the smartest and best show on tv! VM was the highlight of my week which I absolutely adored and now it is gone leaving tons of unanswered questions-couldn’t they have at least wrapped it!! And what is worse is that they cancelled it in order to show ‘quality’ programs like pussycat dolls and all those other idiotic reality shows! How stupid are you CW, you have made a huge mistake!! I will miss VM terribly and it is a real shame that it is gone forever!!!

damagedecay Says:

It was the only show that I really looked foward in watching. Know without GG and VM there is no need to watch CW. Thanks.

Steph Zrim Says:

I swear I am so sick of reality shows. When will they ever die?!?!? How could these people decide to replace VM with this Farmer show!!! What the heck is going on in this world. There are very few shows on TV I like, and with Gilmore Girls and VM gone, I’m ready to just smash my TV altogether. I don’t feel like watching some booty shaking cats. Honestly. I’m not going to give up on it yet. I really do love this show. And I’ve been with it since the beginning. I hope everyone else will continue trying, posting and writing letters, sending Mars Bar wrappers!!!!

Tim Says:

The CW sucks BIG TIME. Cancelled one of the best shows in the universe. When Smallville is gone…so am I. Jerk-offs!!!

VMLOVER Says:

Ok. OK. This sucks. My two favorite shows, Gilmore Girls and VM, are cancelled??!!??! Why me. Screw the CW! Stupid question I know but… Is VM OFFICALLY cancelled? What about the whole June 15th thing? When i say OFFICALLY i mean hard core proff, not just son speculation. please reply i am desperate.

Jenelle Says:

I too am going to boycott the CW. Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls were the best and brightest shows on TV (although Monk is pretty witty…check that out if you want a good detective) and the CW should be flushed down the toilet…not figuratively, but literally. All their crappy reality shows should be flushed or sent to the landfill, or deleted, whatever the case may be. Thank you CW for continuing to lower the collective IQ of America. I hope you loose all your viewers. Its too bad for Supernatural though, that they should suffer because of CW’s ignorance. And you do suck for not even ending VM properly!!! What is wrong with you people?

Angry Viewer Says:

This was the one show left on The CW that actually still had a good season. All the other shows have turned to crap ever since The WB turned into the CW. It was the worst move the company could have made. No one wants to watch another pathetic reality show about white trash of America. They should at least have a couple more episodes to end the show because they totally left us hanging in the end. And as for the the people at The CW I think they should look at this and see how many people are officially boycotting their new, crappy channel.

Bye Bye- CW

Blondie Says:

I enjoyed Veronica Mars. It was a great show and the CW is making a stupid choice. I mean the top 3 shows Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars and One Tree Hill 2 out of those 3 are gone and one woun’t be coming back to Jan. Those were the 3 shows I watched but I Loved Veronica the most. The news shows on the CW sound so dumb like Aliens in America? Reaper? Hidden Palms (its dumb its like O.C rip off) and Farmer wants a wife I wanted to watch that I’ll go to a show on ABC call the Bacholear. and others sound dumb as heck!
Well I Think the Cw will lose some viewers some of the best shows are gone and replaced with crap. Sorry Cw but I will not be watching any shows left. Veronica mars showed and give girls hope that its okay to be different and now you want us to act like top models girls do and pussycat dolls saying the only way in life its to be thin and be a model and act trassy. dawn you are stupid getting rid of it. And I possitive alot more ppl watch veronica mars your nesion ratings is a rip off not everyone can get home on tuesdays at 9 to watch it. we watch it online,record it etc… so sorry but I think DAWN AND CW ARE MAKING A MISTAKE within a year i think the cw will be no more.!!!!!!!!! TO Rob Thomas and Cast good Luck in the future and thank you for 3 wonderful years
p.s I hope they do a movie or atleast do a mid-season so they can wrap up season 3 with so many loose ends

mary Says:

To the CW, seriously do you actually want to be a a good network. Now its four show this season you have cancelled. You are making a huge mistake by cancelling Veronica Mars. Actually you are making a huge mistake by doing away with all four. I loved and have watch for years 7th heaven, Gilmore girls, One tree hill, and my favorite Veronica Mars. I mean I understand you doing away with 7th heaven because it was all out of ideas, but the other shows. Gilmore girls was finally getting good again. Also the though of One Tree Hill being over makes me cry, the series finalie was sooooo good. Then Veronica mar was the first show i came across that has all the thing i hope for in a show, wit, a little darkness, spunk, drama, just enough romance, and actually makes you think a little. Now what is there left on your network? Smallville, that will be over next season. Stupidnatural, i’ve never watch that show once, and i dont like scary shows. Then these new show, seriously what are they. You are just turning you network into white trash tv. They are all reality shows and remakes of thing like to o.c.

So please C.W, BRING BACK VERONICA MARS and if at all possible bring back one tree hill too.

jessica Says:

i hate that it is ending and it sucks cuz it has only been on for 3 season yuo have to atleast go for 4 or 5 not 3 now i am reallly mad i only watch the cw for veronica mars and one tree hill and if you even think about cancelling one tree hill i will never watch the cw ever again.
this SUCKS
