built 264 days ago
Veronica Mars is an American teen drama/mystery neo-noir series created by Rob Thomas. It premiered on UPN on September 22, 2004 and ended on May 22, 2007. It aired for 2 seasons on the now defunct UPN network, then moved for its final season to The CW Television Network when UPN merged with the WB. The show starred Kristen Bell as the title character: a student who progressed from high school to college during the series while moonlighting as a private investigator under the wing of her detective father. Said to be "a little bit Buffy and a little bit Bogart",[1] the show balanced murder mystery, high school and college drama, and social commentary with sarcasm and off-beat humor.
