Oh, Neptune High...

I've recently become addicted to the (now cancelled) show Veronica Mars. I feel like the characters on this show are people I know and interact with on a regular basis - and I kinda do! I've watched 2 seasons since just before Christmas, sometimes 3 or 4... or in last night's case 5, episodes a night!

 

I've gone so far as to download the show onto my computer and then convert the episodes to play on my iPod so that I can watch and run/elliptical/stairmaster at the gym. No better way to get my cardio!!

I can't even tell you what it is about the show that has got me hooked. The writing is great - the characters are (mostly) believeable and you end up loving even the biggest jerks. I actually care what happens to these people!

 

See, this is why I really try not to get into tv shows! It happened with 24 (Trishelle and I watched the first 4 seasons in less than 2 months while in Melbourne), Carnivale - a fantastic HBO show (2 seasons in less than a month) and Six Feet Under (4.5 seasons in about 3 months)... even Dead Like Me was watched in a very short amount of time. 

 

Recently I've also put Freaks and Geeks onto my list of shows I just love - though there was only one season (and I've tried to savour ever moment).

 

Thank god it's all on DVD/Downloaded and I'm not being forced to watch commercials!!
