Ugh. Just when I was officially slipping into denial about the Veronica Mars cancellation, the frakkin' CW sends me TWO letters rubbing it in my face!
Text of the letter:
Dear Viewer:
Thank you for your note regarding Veronica Mars. We appreciate your interest in The CW.
Veronica Mars is a show we all worked hard to support and make a success. We feel it was an extremely high-quality program during its years on both CW and UPN. Regrettably, that run has come to an end.
We hope you will sample some of our new programs this fall--Reaper, Aliens in America, Life is Wild and Gossip Girl.
Thank you again for your interest in The CW.
Sincerely,
Paul McGuire
Executive Vice President
Network Communications
Grrrrrrr. First of all, Paul, this is not a very well written letter. It does an awful job of trying to get The CW off the hook, which I assume is what you were going for. It actually makes The CW sound extra stupid because you just praise the quality of VM and then say it's done. If the show was so great, CW dumbasses, why did you cancel it? The answer is ratings and money, so just have the balls to admit it.
And, please, please do not misconstrue my interest in Veronica Mars for an interest in The CW. I have no interest in The CW in a Veronica and Gilmore-less world.
Since we have to assume that The CW is not doing so well financially, what with the finishing behind Telemundo in ratings and all, I have a cost cutting suggestion: how about sending only one insulting letter to each VM fan and buying some less expensive stationary? Is paper that's white on one side and green on the other really necessary? I'm just thinking that you may want to be saving your money for a rainy day, CW. Like when trashy burlesque dancing no longer constitutes entertainment.
