Seasons And Series Endings

"Veronica Mars" had its "Season Finale" last night. It was two new episodes back-to-back. "The CW" hasn't official announced cancellation but I suspect that's cowardice more than anything. The finale was a cliff-hanger. What happens to Veronica and the gang? Who wins the election? It left all manner of questions wide-open. As good as it was, I couldn't believe that's how it's left. The network technically has until June 15th to make a decision but no one is expecting a reprieve.



I've read "Chris Lowell," Piz, is already on the "Grey's Anatomy" spin-off for the fall so he probably couldn't be a regular on "Veronica Mars" in the fall anyway. Although he'll be playing a receptionist it's a major career move to a top network and a "hot" property.

Kristin Bell is providing narration voice overs for a new fall show on "The CW" from the creator of "The OC."

I watched "The Shield" which was pretty good and has another two shows left of its season. I still hate Shane. I haven't a clue how Vic is going to deal with him. I still want Vic killed in the line of duty rather than prosecuted. I'll need to wait and see how things go before knowing if the did jump the shark this year.

I already mentioned the "Heroes" finale on Monday but that's a show which is definitely on my "jump the shark" watch list over the fates of certain characters.

The ending of SVU suggested someone might be leaving the cast but I don't recall reading anything about that. "House" wraps up next week. It was preempted for the premier of a reality show called "On The Lot." Amateur film-makers compete for a chance to make a real film. I watched bits of it because Carrie Fischer is one of the judges. Another episode airs on Thursday. Maybe I'll check it out. I flipped between that and bits of the latest Jesse Stone novel-turned-telefilm starring Tom Selleck.

Speaking of Tom Selleck, there's a film reimagining of "Magnum P.I." in the works. The putrid Matt McConaughey is cast as Thomas Magnum. To add insult to injury another of my last favorite actors, William H Macy, has been cast as Higgins!

I didn't get my ice cream. I baked cookies and ate the whole batch. I didn't really eat much else. Kitty's been pestering me for hours to get to bed. Time for me to go have another weird dream. Maybe it'll be about grocery shopping in L.A. again. Duckie was in that dream but he wouldn't want to know details--it's probably a banned topic.
