I Hear The Bells, They Are Like Emeralds
Over at Pajiba, it's my turn at bat again in our continuing survey of the best TV seasons of the past 20 years. We've bumped the roster from from 15 to 20, which should carry us through the summer and allow us to write about some favorites that we just couldn't pass up. This one, however, was always on the list. My struggle wasn't to decide whether to write about "Veronica Mars," but which season to write about. For reasons I hope I make clear, I went with the first.

Thank you for including this. I was hoping this would be one of the last 2 (now 7?).
This may be the single best stand alone season of the past 20 years. There have been better seasons of other shows, but all require prior seasons setup. VM starts from nothing and rocks it.
Dear Pajiba,
When it comes to this list please for the love of all things sacred... do not fuck up and neglect the Sopranos.
Respectfully,

Veronica Mars is awesome. Haven't seen the second season yet, but glad to hear you think it holds up. The first season set a pretty high bar.
Looking forward to posts describing your debauchery in NYC...
I dont know if you already read this somewhere but Rob Thomas has started writing the script for the Veronica Mars movie. Jason Dohring, Enrico Colantoni and Kristen Bell all have agreed to be in it.
I think my life will be complete when this movie is made.
That was beautiful Dan. It may have brought a tear or two to my eyes. Oh, how I miss Veronica and peps :(
