Veronica Mars is frakkin’ dead.That sound you hear is the sound of my heart breaking. It’s a sound all-too familiar to a couple of cute schipperkes and me – and it sucks.
Yesterday was a “very, very, very sad day,” indeed.
Anyway, the TV upfronts took place in New York City this week. The upfronts are an annual gathering where the networks present their new fall schedules to advertisers…and buzz is created.
Among the new shows that I will be checking out on NBC are Journeyman, a drama starring Rome’s Kevin McKidd; Life, another drama starring Damian Lewis; and Lipstick Jungle, an adaptation of the female-centric novel from Sex and the City author Candace Bushnell, starring Brooke Shields and 24’s Kim Raver.
On ABC, Pushing Daisies, Private Practice (a.k.a. the Grey’s Anatomy spin-off), Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money, Cashmere Mafia, and Big Shots all sound worthy of repeated look-sees.
CBS’ musical drama Viva Laughlin, which Hugh Jackman is executive producing, probably will make my list of shows to check out because it sounds different. And because its lead, Lloyd Owen, is rather handsome.
Proving to be a total wet blanket was The CW’s lineup, which was announced free of Veronica Mars. That’s pretty much all I have to say. (Alright, the network does have a promising new show in Gossip Girl.)
Finally Fox only has one show that definitely interests me at this time, and that is Amy Sherman-Palladino’s The Return of Jezebel James. Although perhaps I will get into The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
And now, a moment for dear underappreciated Veronica Mars. Put your lighters up.
