"You may have seen my earlier report that Veronica Mars has been canceled.
Well, let me just say that though I heard this heart-wrenching info from six--yes, six--reliable sources on both the network and studio side...apparently that news may have been somewhat misguided. See, although this "cancellation" rumor ran rampant around all sectors of Hollywood today, it turns out the picture is more complex than a straight canceled-or-not-canceled scenario.
At this hour, here's what I can tell you:
I just heard from Veronica mastermind and showrunner Rob Thomas, who tells me, "If we're cancelled, I certainly don't know about it."
And according to CW insiders, the CW has not officially canceled Veronica Mars. However, here's the catch: They are currently considering a different format for the fourth season. From what I hear, that format would leap four years into the future and focus on Veronica Mars as an FBI agent. Aside from returning star Kristen Bell (duh), the rest of the cast is yet to be determined, but it isn't likely that many of her current co-stars would be on board.
So bottom line: Veronica Mars could be: 1) spinning off into a new format, 2) returning in her college years or 3) getting canceled.
And let me just say, number 3 could be a very real possibility..."
Dammit. Dammit dammit dammit. Sigh.
So what can we do? Can I send a bag of flaming poo to the CW's front doorstep? Ideas?

Veronica Mars getting cancelled has never actually seemed like a real possibility - I've been in denial about the show's ratings failures since the beginning.
But if the CW does end up cancelling it, heads are going to ROLL.
I would like #2 to happen. Though #3 wouldn't be that bad...I still wanna see Veronica go through college.
Rob Thomas said if the CW cancels Veronica Mars, he's gonna make it really HARD for them to handle. He also said that they are treating the finale as a season finale, not as a series finale.
Veronica Mars can't be cancelled. It is currently my fave show on TV and to see it cancelled would just devastate me
That FBI thing sounds fucking stupid.
KC - it makes more sense once you've seen the 3rd season; it gets hinted at heavily that the show might go there next.
It's my fave show too, and I swear too all things unoly I will never watch another show on the CW if they cancel it. Yes, that means no more Tyra and AMTM, but Rich's recaps at FourFour are better then the show anyways.
unoly = unholy
