Veronica Mars (2004–2007) is a mystery crime drama that originated on UPN before moving to The CW after UPN merged with The WB. The series stars the titular character, Veronica Mars as a teenager with a knack for mystery solving, which is largely attributed to her father, Keith, a private investigator and former sheriff for the town. In the fictional southern California town of Neptune, Veronica struggles against a crowd of "09ers" while slowly moving closer to solving whatever mystery catches her eye.

The weekly, hour long series Veronica Mars starred Kristen Bell as the 17-year-old title character, formerly the most popular girl in her high school in the affluent community of Neptune. We said "formerly": Ever since her sheriff father Keith Mars (Enrico Colantoni) was fired and publicly disgraced for daring to suggest that Jake Kane (Kyle Secor), the town's wealthiest man, may have been responsible for the murder of his own daughter Lilly, Veronica had been a social pariah, shunned by all of the "right" people and the "coolest" kids--including her former boyfriend, Lilly's troubled brother Duncan. Determined to solve the murder of her best friend Lilly and clear her father's name, Veronica became a crusading reporter for her school newspaper, under the watchful eye of her mentor, journalism teacher Mallory Dent (Sydney Poitier). She ... moonlighted as a private eye, helping her dad Keith run his private detective agency, Mars Investigations. In so doing, Veronica forced many of her antagonists in Neptune to face up to the unpleasant truths hidden away in their own souls, and also dug up more than a few inconvenient skeletons in a few high-maintenance closets. The cast included Percy Daggs III as Wallace Fernel, the nerdy new kid in school who became the closest ally of fellow outcast Veronica; Jason Dohring as Logan Echolls, the wildly undisciplined son of Neptune's two resident movie stars Aaron and Lynn Echolls, and Duncan Kane's closest friend; and Francis Capra as punkish Eli "Weevil" Navarro, head of the school's most feared gang, the PCH Biker Boyz, who through a series of fascinating plot contrivances found himself begrudgingly helping Veronica in her crusade to see that Justice was served at all times.

By day, Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) may be just another pretty teenage student, but by night, she's one of the best private investigators in Southern California. The third season of this hit teen detective series finds Veronica heading off to study at Hearst College, where she goes after a serial rapist between classes. Tina Majorino joins the cast as Mac, Veronica's friend and laid-back collegiate comrade.

The shock and loss of income destroyed the Mars family; Veronica's mother abandoned the family several months later. Veronica further sealed her fate as an outsider when she refused to denounce her father. Logan stopped speaking to Veronica, and the rest of the 09ers followed suit. Veronica found herself banished from the exclusive 09er social scene and all of her former friends.
