    Kristen Bell in Veronica Mars (2004)
    Spring breakers are getting murdered in Neptune, thereby decimating the seaside town's tourist industry. After Mars Investigations is hired by the family of one of the victims to find their son's killer, Veronica is drawn into a mystery that pits the enclave's wealthy elites, who would rather put an end to the month-long bacchanalia, against a working class that relies on the cash influx that comes with being the West Coast's answer to Daytona Beach.

    Storyline

    Edit
    The murder of high-school student Lilly Kane shook the seaside town of Neptune, California to the core. For once popular girl Veronica Mars, it meant the loss of her best friend and being ousted from the affluent crowd that she once thought were her friends. Her father, Sheriff Keith Mars, found himself voted out of his job after making some unpopular accusations about the murdered girl's family. In response, Keith opened his own private detective agency. Now, Veronica, with her sardonic wit and a few new friends, works as his assistant while also navigating life as a high school (and later college) student. —L. Hamre

    • Trivia
      On March 13, 2013, cast members Kristen Bell, Jason Dohring, Enrico Colantoni, and Ryan Hansen, and show-runner Rob Thomas appeared in a video posted to the crowd-sourcing website Kickstarter that challenged fans of the television show (which had been cancelled in 2007) to pledge two million dollars to fund (or help fund) a feature film project based on the show. The project broke a Kickstarter record when it made more than one and a third million dollars in about six hours. The entire amount was raised and surpassed in under eleven hours, subsequently Veronica Mars (2014) was released.

    • Quotes

      Dick Casablancas: [after Logan and Veronica walk into his house and all of his friends yell "surprise!"] Dude, what the hell are you doing? Please tell me this is like some reality show called "My Skank."

      Logan: Goodbye, Dick.

      Dick Casablancas: What?

      Logan: Get out of my house. You have a problem with Veronica you leave. Actually you have a problem with Veronica, you're pretty much dead to me so just like evaporate or something, I don't know... That's kind of a general invitation. You don't like my girlfriend then... just start heading towards the rectangle with the knob.

    • Crazy credits
      The first season finale did not include the usual opening credit sequence. The credits simply appeared over an early scene.

    UPN has potential with this show
    I have never watched any of the prime-time shows on UPN after Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended until I watched this show and I think that UPN has themselves a hit show here and the show is Veronica Mars. The show is about a smart, fearless 17-year-old girl named Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) who is an apprentice to her father, Keith Mars (Enrico Colantoni from "Just Shoot Me") who is a former sheriff and has Veronica help him with his struggling new private investigator business. By sneaking through back alleys and scoping out no-tell motels with a telescopic-lens camera and her math book, Veronica attempts to uncover the California beach town's darkest secrets, including who killed her best friend and Duncan's sister, Lilly, and created a scandal that cost her father his job, his home and wife. Pushed to the edge of this multicultural, venomous little Peyton Place, Veronica Mars relentlessly continues to search for evidence that will clear her father's name and get her back into the "in-crowd," but what she finds may tear the town of Neptune apart at the seams. The show I think is like those detective book novels almost. I like this show! I think Kristen Bell is going to be the next Sarah Michelle Gellar! This show premiered on UPN September 2004. I hope this show lasts more than one season!

    User Rating: 9/10
