I know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for V. Though no official word on the fate of Veronica Mars has been made, all signs point to next week’s episode being its swansong. As reported earlier this week, Veronica Mars is not on The CW’s fall schedule. Series creator Rob Thomas maintains that the show could be resurrected as a midseason replacement, and there’s still another month before the time for contract negotiations expires. It all seems like postponing the inevitable, and I, for one, just want a final word.
The end of Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls means that I won’t be returning to The CW next season either, but if I was going to, I’d probably watch Gossip Girl. The new series, created by OC scribe Josh Schwartz, stars some absentee narrator who blogs about the goings on of young Manhattanites. The premise seems fairly mediocre, but Schwartz has a good head on his shoulders and Kristen Bell is said to be the narrator. Between the two of them, I could easily see myself being drawn in.

What about Supernatural? I would love to say I will never watch the CW again in protest, but I can’t give up those Winchesters.
The Winchester may just end up the poor child lost in the heat of a divorce because THAT’S IT. I’VE HAD ENOUGH WITH THE CW.
