Save VERONICA MARS!!

First! by JediShaft	Jun 7th, 2007 06:33:51 AM
Didn't this need to be done before the upfronts????
From someone who went through the SaveFarscape campaign by raw_bean	Jun 7th, 2007 06:36:58 AM
I wish you all the best of luck with your show! (Never seen it, but if I get the chance this kind of devotion makes me interested enough to give it a try.) :^)
"Didn't this need to be done before the upfronts?" by Hercules	Jun 7th, 2007 06:43:47 AM
At the CW upfronts, Dawn Ostroff said a decision on future "Mars" was still up in the air. Apparently going forward with "Veronica" might get harder, however, after June 15.
Not a fan, but good luck by RenoNevada2000	Jun 7th, 2007 06:47:05 AM
While I have never seen an episode of the series, probably should Netflix it I guess, I wish you folks luck. Just wish all this season's grassroots campaigning had started at a time when we could have saved STUDIO 60...
Shouldn't we get started on Battlestar as well? by Shan	Jun 7th, 2007 06:50:40 AM
Since despite the denials, obviously they were told to wrap it up at the end of the coming year as that's all they were getting. Who ends a show after 4 seasons voluntarily (except the UK)? - Honestly.
I've never watched... by jimmy rabbitte	Jun 7th, 2007 06:52:03 AM
this show; but I did watch Jericho. Obviously these shows of fan support for a series can work. I wish VM fans all the best. I hope another network smartens up and decides to air a show people actually want to watch. So many new shows start up every year and most of them don't make it past the first month... deservedly so. Why do networks feel the need to cancel shows people are actually watching? Anyway all the best to the VM fans. I hope your show comes back.
78X6.99... by evolutiongirl	Jun 7th, 2007 06:54:11 AM
is $545.22. I bought my Mars bar yesterday and paid shipping along with, I'm guessing, the other 77 people. Sounds like they have plenty of cash to ship in bulk! Go buy a Mars bar!
Shan by RenoNevada2000	Jun 7th, 2007 06:58:44 AM
It's sounding more like that the decision to end GALACTICA after the upcoming season came from the producers/creative side of the series rather than the networks. I'll side with the creatives on this one. If they feel their story will be done, then let them tell their story the way they need to.
why june 15? by KoozyK	Jun 7th, 2007 07:04:06 AM
well, it's because it's the day kristen bell's contract is up and she becomes a free agent not tied to cw. cw would still need to re-negotiate the contract with bell as well as most of the supporting cast. face it, the show is done. i'll just treasure my box sets in the meantime.
Hollywood is rich! Send me the chocolate! by Gristle	Jun 7th, 2007 07:05:32 AM
Does this mean the "Veronica Mars Needs Women" campaign is a no go? Because I sent a call girl to the CW last night.
waste of time by JeanLuc Dickhard	Jun 7th, 2007 07:17:46 AM
thankgod the show is gone
This item is currently not available. by 404notfound	Jun 7th, 2007 07:26:24 AM
Meh!
Confusing by insightman	Jun 7th, 2007 07:31:06 AM
What address do we put in for shipping? Can someone please give a step-by-step procedure for getting this done? Thanks.
Huh? by NudeandAroused	Jun 7th, 2007 07:37:23 AM
Like 404notfound wrote, it says it isn't available.
Unavailable? by Yommers	Jun 7th, 2007 07:42:40 AM
Indian Food Store needs to get their shit together so I can order some mars bars
...but will anyone save the fat kid from Bad Santa? by Cletus Van Damme	Jun 7th, 2007 07:50:12 AM
How about some love for the filthy-underweared Thurman Mermann?
Typically it would need to be done before the sets are by chrth	Jun 7th, 2007 08:05:02 AM
taken down ... but in this case, with a revamped format, that's not true. It just needs to get done before the actors' contracts expire.
Other Suggestions. by Mr. Profit	Jun 7th, 2007 08:24:52 AM
Hey Guys, Herc, I think this effort here is pretty awesome. I think (in addition to the Mars Bars Campaign) that on Monday we should ALL also download the final episode of Season 3 "The Bitch Is Back" off of ITunes the same day. That way the show can rocket straight to number 1 on the ITunes Chart due to all of the downloads. Also up until July 2nd, Target is selling Season 1 and Season 2 with a deep discount price of 22.99. Maybe we should all purchase a box set on the 14th of June right before the deadline date. What do you guys think? Whatever we decide I am down. I can't order a Mars Bar on Amazon for whatever reason, but when that gets fixed I will surely do so.
I ordered a six-pack for $8.49 by mollyunravel	Jun 7th, 2007 08:25:50 AM
Not sure why the individual bars are unavailable, but I was planning on buying more than one anyway. I'm still not exactly holding my breath... I just figure that if it really ends up not coming back, at least i can't say that I didn't try. And if it does get saved, I can say that I helped. Really it's all about me and my ego. LONG LIVE VERONICA MARS!
Next up: SAVE CHEERS! by mondoz2	Jun 7th, 2007 08:29:22 AM
Something must be done to save this show from being canceled! Everyone, send a keg to Charles-Burrows-Charles Productions at Paramount! Sam Malone godda eat! After that, we'll start up the SAVE FAMILY TIES campaign. NO SHOW LEFT BEHIND!
No Mars bars for starving people, but for a TV show... by SpyGuy	Jun 7th, 2007 08:32:12 AM
...the sky's the limit. Way to represent the best the human race has to offer, guys.
look, I love VM but... by mthrndr	Jun 7th, 2007 08:39:45 AM
Jericho had naturally far more viewers than VM. VM just wasn't making money for them. Let's say enough bars get sent and by some miracle they put it back on air. And then season 4 sees only 1.5 million -2 million viewers per ep. I know, at least we'll get 8 episodes or whatever...I just don't think that Network management sees that as strategic at all. Jericho beat established shows in the ratings - it probably was a mistake to cancel it. VM's mistake was being tied to a crap-ass network like UPN/CW. If it was on the big 4 or FX or something, it would have done better. Michael Ausiello of TVGUIDE got a Ferris Wheel put up to try to save Everwood! Look where that got that show - season 2 isn't even on DVD (a travesty by any measure, when I can buy ALF season 2 on DVD).
Wait... by Edgewise	Jun 7th, 2007 08:44:51 AM
Herc, do the good people at The Indian Food Store know that the candy has to arrive at the CW before the 15th? And why are the individual bars not available today? And why do they offer the 6-packs for two different prices?
Don't generalize on an internet message board. by Mr. Profit	Jun 7th, 2007 08:47:47 AM
It's not like EVERYONE here doesn't give a shit about world causes/issues. I donate what I can to charity like most people who can afford to do so do. I am also fortunate enough (that in addition to giving to charity) I have disposable income as well. (Not everyone in the talkback lives in Mom's already cliched basement.) We are all in an effort here to save one of our favorite shows. What's the problem with that? I'm sure the majority of the folks on here are not assholes who ignore the grander issues of the world. I really don't see any problem with sending in money for something that could potentially continue my TV entertainment on Tuesday nights? Also Mars Bars for starving kids would be bad anyway. They have no nutritional value.
Send Dildoes! by The Ender Smites Foes	Jun 7th, 2007 08:55:24 AM
I'm telling you it will work.
Six Pack is what a real hero would send. by The-Warrior	Jun 7th, 2007 08:58:42 AM
Man up and drop 8.50. I love Veronica Mars and I don't care how fruity that makes me. I just sent six candy bars to some millionaire broad. This better fucking work. See you in Hell.
Another thing: did anyone think of the practicality? by Gristle	Jun 7th, 2007 09:06:10 AM
Did anyone actually consider that Mars bars are not available in America, and fans would have to scramble to find some? I'm almost thirty, I've been eating candy bars all my life, and I've never even seen a Mars bar. I want to save this show as much as anyone, but I'm not seeing much of an organized, well-thought-out effort, like the one for Jericho. Symbolism is nice, but putting pen to paper and stuffing it in a mailbox will probably be more effective.
This will only work by erichaislar	Jun 7th, 2007 09:10:30 AM
If it is available on amazon. Right now it looks like they are out.
To counter criticism by Gristle	Jun 7th, 2007 09:19:06 AM
I like the idea of making Veronica Mars #1 on the iTunes download list. I think the most effective thing would be to either start ordering those DVDs from Amazon to move that up the list, or, if you can't afford that, donate to one of those funds that buy the DVDs and give them to libraries. The idea is to have the CW see that Veronica Mars is the topseller at Amazon and iTunes. A letter-writing campaign would seal the deal.
Yeah, the sugar in a Mars bar would kill a starvin' kid by chrth	Jun 7th, 2007 09:31:25 AM
How could you be so insensitive to their plight, SpyGuy? For shame.
All you're going to accomplish is filling their coffers by anchorite	Jun 7th, 2007 09:39:59 AM
with yummy bars of chocolate. The most you can hope for is that Dawn Ostroff will have an allergic reaction to the almonds, go into anaphylactic shock and die, and that her successor will think twice before either keeping the show canceled or taking a bite of that yummy chocolate bar. In any case, Veronica Mars really isn't worth even the most minimal effort(or the jail time) that would be required in order to try and save the show. Let it go, geeks.
And my letter is in the mail... by mollyunravel	Jun 7th, 2007 09:40:37 AM
Some friends and I'd also sent postcards a few months ago before the upfronts... So... I guess I've done all I can.
why not marshmallows?? by sillyd	Jun 7th, 2007 09:49:00 AM
I know this campaign ran last year also when they thought VM was not going to be picked up for Season 3 and I question the whole Mars bars thing then also. Yes I get it, the show is called Veronica Mars hence Mars Bars. I think it would have been better to go with something like MARSHMALLOWS!! Bags and bags and bags of Marshmallows since VM is a marshmallow as we learned in the Pilot Episode. (I hear the Jericho fans picked Nuts because of the finale so why not pick something from the pilot of VM)
Well... by tailhook	Jun 7th, 2007 10:03:03 AM
at least the fans are keeping the studios well fed. If I was the head of CW I would be like.. man.. if you had only sent 3 Muskateers bars I so would have brought that show back!
LOST going off the air in three more seasons! by Abin Sur	Jun 7th, 2007 10:15:30 AM
Should we send Apollo bars?
What is the big deal on this show?? by RobMota	Jun 7th, 2007 10:24:03 AM
I just dont see the attraction to this show. Why is this such a big deal?
A Mars a day... by 404notfound	Jun 7th, 2007 10:27:16 AM

VMars took some time for me... by Mr. Profit	Jun 7th, 2007 10:29:06 AM
To even consider watching it BASED ON THE NAME "Veronica Mars" alone. I thought it was a girl show that was a Buffy rip off based on previews alone. I only started watching late into the 1st season and that is only because MTV aired a re-run on a Sunday and it was the Mac Switched At Birth episode. I tuned in afterward and never missed an episode. Veronica Mars was never marketed properly, and some people will watch it and hate it. But to me, I love the show, the writing, the cast and the great acting of Kristen Bell who keeps it all together. Kristen Bell will shine on even if the show is definitively cancelled.
RobMota... your stupid question with another by spikerules2	Jun 7th, 2007 10:29:12 AM
You haven't watched it, have you now? Stupid question, ofc you haven't!
Question by indyjonez100	Jun 7th, 2007 10:32:56 AM
A letter will all of your names and a huge note that says "Veronica Mars: More Addictive Than Chocolate! Satisfy our craving for Season 3!" [sic] will be included. Next to each of your names will be the total number of Mars Bars purchased towards this cause! In the letter they are including with the Mars bars shipments. Shouldn't this read "Satisfy my craving for Season 4", didn't they already have Season 3?
This is why i asked, you fucking dumb ASS by RobMota	Jun 7th, 2007 10:33:02 AM
At no time did i put down the show. All i asked is what is the big deal.
Mr. Profit I agree by spikerules2	Jun 7th, 2007 10:35:15 AM
I didnt want to watch it due to see the LAME arse opening credits. However, I had 20 odd S1 eps waiting to be watched on my PVR, so I sat down for a whole weekend without eating properly (apart from crisps and coke) and watched the whole lot. I never imagined how clever, character driven and emotional the show would be. Everything from the story to the characters to their dialogue and interaction, the relationships of the main characters and of VM and her father, the acting... EVERYTHING... some of the best TV I have seen since Joss Whedon left the airwaves. SUPERB.
Spyguy by NudeandAroused	Jun 7th, 2007 10:35:54 AM
Wow, I am hanging my head in shame. You are right, of course.
Reno by Shan	Jun 7th, 2007 10:36:27 AM
I'd find their claims more credible about Battlestar if a) the ratings were at least about the same as the excellent first season and/or b) this was a show made in the UK. On the upside, I would like to assume, no useless standalone episodes.
RobMota by spikerules2	Jun 7th, 2007 10:37:37 AM
Whose dumber, someone whose watched it and decided for himself or someone asking a question about what all the fuss about? Watch the show and decided for yourself... you wont be disappointed, I assure you.
Fine by RobMota	Jun 7th, 2007 10:38:50 AM
I will give it a try.
Spyguy by spikerules2	Jun 7th, 2007 10:40:33 AM
Maybe it would be better to send stuff to starving children in Africa in the name of VM? I agree that waisting bars on TV execs is a tad wrong. However, trying to keep VM on the air, is in my eye's, a good thing to do.
RobMota by spikerules2	Jun 7th, 2007 10:42:39 AM
Good on you dude! You wont be disappointed. In fact, I'm a tad jealous, seeing as you get to watch all the episodes in one sitting:)
I could be wrong but... by RogueWarrior65	Jun 7th, 2007 10:51:03 AM
Yesterday I was down in San Diego at the studio where they film Veronica Mars and I believe I saw the show on the studio's production schedules.

Too bad we couldn't save Firefly...or Drive by jelac07	Jun 7th, 2007 11:18:31 AM
or Buffy or Angel... I do agree, however, that these damn networks are not giving any of the shows a chance. It makes me hesitant to even start watching a show...others probably feel the same.. then the cycle starts... me thinks they need to devise a new ratings system.. to incorporate ALL ways of watching a show... I guess I should buy the VM DVD now, so I can see what all the fuss is about

Search Mars Bars by U1ahbme	Jun 7th, 2007 11:38:17 AM
The links in the story don't seem to get you to place you can order the bars, but if you search from there you can still order. Its worth a try. i sent a 6 back. If it fails, the I just bought a tasty treat for the people who brought us The Next Pussycat Doll. uhg.
I know, "Duh", but... by Ellipsian	Jun 7th, 2007 11:59:12 AM
...don't forget to change/use the correct shipping address. I buy so damn much from Amazon that ordering is now a habit, and I almost just sent two Mars bars to myself. Okay yeah I'm minorly interested in tasting them, but I'm majorly interested in saving "Veronica"...
You can't order from outside the US by snife	Jun 7th, 2007 12:13:49 PM
Because of their geographical restrictions, you cant order from outwith the US (despite it being sent to the US), oh well, i'm from the UK so i'll just have to buy my own and send them myself.
You guys are doing this, hoping to feel important... by anchorite	Jun 7th, 2007 12:14:10 PM
if the show gets revived. How sad. First, you are pouring energy into a dumb show, trying to support people who don't give a flying fig about your happiness or well-being. Second, you will only manage to entertain the underlings at the network office who actually have to open up your silly offerings. They will say, cool! Free food! Pass it amongst themselves, take some home, and perhaps save one in their cubicle drawer. Besides that, you will not accomplish a damn thing. So which one of you dumbasses managed to get Paris Hilton out of jail early? Why don't you guys do something really meaningful, like volunteer for some Democrat's election campaign? Or go to your local homeless shelter and serve a hot meal to someone who really needs something yummy to eat? Is it because it would involve more than giving your credit card number over the internet? Lameasses!
BLUTH FAMILY CHRISTMAS SPECIAL by Slugworth	Jun 7th, 2007 12:26:27 PM
I'm sending candy canes to FOX until we get a BLUTH FAMILY CHRISTMAS SPECIAL. Get on board. Now.
I Would Gladly Subscribe by topaz4206	Jun 7th, 2007 12:38:10 PM
I would happily pay $1 or even $2 per episode as a 'subscription.' I really miss this show already.
NEW PLAN by Slugworth	Jun 7th, 2007 12:41:49 PM
On second thought, if I send candy canes to FOX, it wouldn't make that big of an impact because FOX is an entire network and they could easily eat all of the candy canes, no sweat. BUT... if we send them to BONO, there is no way that ONE GUY can eat all of those candy canes.
spikerules2: Donations in the name of VM works for me by SpyGuy	Jun 7th, 2007 12:46:43 PM
I honestly wasn't trying to get all soapboxy, but it just annoys the crap out of me when fans will donate food (or candy bars, in this case) to save a TV show for their own self-interest without at least trying to think of the Bigger Picture here. So yeah, I think a campaign to donate Mars bars (or something better) in the name of VERONICA MARS sounds like a much better idea than bombarding TV execs with something they'll either throw away or leave out in the break room for people to take home to their kids. At least someone's using their brain today...
"Why don't you guys do something really meaningful," by Oozer3993	Jun 7th, 2007 12:50:32 PM
"like volunteer for some Democrat's election campaign?" I don't know, maybe because I'd like some one intelligent in office? (Sorry, couldn't help myself. But now on to my real point) Why are you automatically assuming that no one here does any of those things anyway? Who's to say that the people sending Mars Bars don't also donate to charity? Cause you know that when you assume you make and ass out of you (to quote the great show we're trying to save).
bite me Anchorite by oisin5199	Jun 7th, 2007 12:59:54 PM
I don't have high hopes for this campaign either, mostly because the CW has made dumbass decisions from day one (let's see, resurrect 7th freakin' Heaven, for one). And they already ruined the direction of the show by dumbing down the arcs. But damn it, this show is FAR more worth saving than the mediocrity that is Jericho. Even if the plot on that show gets exciting, we already have several (much better) shows about a group of people banding together to survive and beat those wish them harm. Whereas, Veronica has always been a one of a kind. I've said it before and I'll say it again. VM was the most clever, poignant and funny show about young people on the air today. There's a reason why Buffy fans were into it. I think it's a shame it ended when it did, but I'm skeptical about a new configuration. I'd almost rather see the VM movie, than a reinvention without the majority of the characters.

Why Veronica and Battlestar need to stay dead... by Err	Jun 7th, 2007 01:15:11 PM

Isn't Rob Thomas going to run "Miss/Guided?" by AnnoyYou	Jun 7th, 2007 01:34:55 PM
But more to the point, even if a thousand Mars Bars are sent to CW/Ostroff, it won't make much of an impression. So a thousand people love the show, bfd. It lost money for the CW and the new FBI/21 Jump Street concept won't have any of the old cast members save Bell and maybe a couple of very minor VM players (in other words, no Jason Dohring, no Tina Majorino, no Percy Daggs, no Enrico Colantoni, etc.). So you guys are campaigning for a very different show than the one that was on for 3 years. Is that really what you want?
THEY ARE OUT OF MARS BARS by pongo955	Jun 7th, 2007 01:50:17 PM
That seller is out of mars bars, anyone know of another place?
Baccio40 by mayorofsmpleton	Jun 7th, 2007 02:11:29 PM
Um, okay. Next time you go to rent a movie, or buy an expensive pair of clothing, or an ice cream cone, or a bag of chips, or an extra soda, or a ticket to a movie, or a DVD, etc think about your words. Do you really need any of that? Wouldn't food for the homeless be a better place for your money? Unless every bit of your disposable income goes to feeding the homeless I personally feel that comments like that are hypocritical. People donating to this are fans of the series and would like to see it continue. I donated 12 bars, and for the record... I'm sure I give more money to the homeless and to charity per year than you do as well.
mars bars info and such... by mollyunravel	Jun 7th, 2007 02:33:43 PM
The Indian Food Store has a blog running about the campaign: http://theindianfoodstore.blog spot.com/ and they are requesting that orders now be made directly from their site so they don't have to pay the amazon.com comissions: www.theindianfoodstore.com. LONG LIVE VERONICA MARS!
btw... by mollyunravel	Jun 7th, 2007 02:36:12 PM
Their current count is nearing 3,000 bars with the expectation of more to come. The cut-off time for orders is 3pm on Monday.
This is the organisation I was talking about... by DanielKurland	Jun 7th, 2007 02:46:13 PM
Good work. 3000 bars? That's fantastic. And I'd be all for saving Studio 60, but on that show, it seems as if some of the cast is relieved that it is done with, and the fact that it's so expensive would probably make it more difficult.
Mars Bars ARE in stock by Aristotle	Jun 7th, 2007 02:58:57 PM
I don't know why Amazon is tinkering with the links, but the bars are most definitely in stock! On the main amazon page, you can search for "Mars Bar" and I guarantee you will have several searches. You should also check out their blog and stick it to Amazon as well. That is all.
Okay, A BETTER WAY!!! by Scramble Network	Jun 7th, 2007 03:05:35 PM
Hey, I've been the one working with Sachin over at The Indian Food Store to figure out this bulk order stuff. These folks are great! Here's an easier way to give. You can now contribute to the Mars Bars Campaign via PAYPAL. Any amount, it all goes towards the bulk order. Just go to scramblenetwork.wordpress.com/ mars And click the contribute link. On that page, I'll also be providing updates on how many bars have been purchased, and some fun metrics on that front. HEY HERC-- can you get us an article on this?!! No Amazon, no special codes, just contributing! This is by far the best way to go. And again, The Indian Food Store rocks-- really nice people!

Mmm, Mars Bars by ScooterKSU	Jun 7th, 2007 06:21:08 PM
I hope that Dawn and the CW donate the candy to a food bank or something.
I'd like to... by mrtwig48	Jun 7th, 2007 06:45:47 PM
...take a Mars Bar and melt it on Kristen Bell's stomach. And then lick it off.
Give Up by shoe1985	Jun 7th, 2007 07:04:26 PM
The CW/UPN gave this show a lot of time to develop in a ratings powerhouse for their network, it never happened. Ratings actually went down this year, not a good sign. If I was Dawn I would say, "Sorry, we gave you many chances to get the ratings up, but instead they went down, it is over."

I hope Dawn, I mean the homeless kids down at the shelter, enjoy the Mars bars. Just give me back my show!
fuck this by WolfmanNards	Jun 7th, 2007 09:38:35 PM
I tried to ship a bar, and there was a shipping fee included when I went to check out. What the fuck? I cancelled the order.
un-fuck it by WolfmanNards	Jun 7th, 2007 09:41:11 PM
I found out the code you had to enter. What the fuck. fuck.

SaveMyShow.net has the campaign on their site now. Looks like you can order directly through them.
Now I'm just hungry. Thanks Herc. :) -nt- by HappyHamster	Jun 8th, 2007 12:22:18 AM

so will a few bucks stop anything happening in Darfur? by oisin5199	Jun 8th, 2007 12:41:21 AM
No? Well it might save a good show. Whatever. That's such an idiot argument. I agree with whoever said that if you don't think about how the money you spend on DVDs or movie tickets or any other entertainment could also help with the world's problems, then you should shut the fuck up about people spending minimal cash on a show-saving campaign. Hypocritical bastards.

Wait, should the note say "season 4"? by Lenny Nero	Jun 8th, 2007 12:52:33 AM
Look at the one that's going to accompany said Mars Bars. Am I crazy, or doesn't that say "season 3"?
Oh, should have read the following note by Lenny Nero	Jun 8th, 2007 12:53:03 AM
Doi.
Bars for Mars by SuperSweet	Jun 8th, 2007 01:27:36 AM
I sent 12. I LOVE this show and I am absolutely desperate to see more of it. Thanks Herc!!!
What's happening in Darfur? Is that a show like Dallas? by anchorite	Jun 8th, 2007 01:59:17 AM
Just kidding. We all know nothing happens in Darfur. I mean, the place is boooooooring. The whole town shuts down by 9 PM. And just try finding a decent cup of coffee. Paris Hilton would hate it.
Hey, what do you think would happen if... by anchorite	Jun 8th, 2007 02:01:48 AM
everyone sent a Mars bar to Darfur? Do you think we could solve the world's problems? After all, A Mars A Day Helps You Work Rest And Play.
what if... by fathom77	Jun 8th, 2007 10:42:42 AM
can't wait to see, what they send, if Weeds gets canceled some day. :-)

Ha! Well, if that ever did happen, The CW would have lots of munchies to share with them. ;-)
Love this show.... by tristeele	Jun 8th, 2007 01:04:22 PM
Now let it die. Season 3 SUCKED.
If we'll have another S3 CW-style season, no thanks. by MrFloppy	Jun 8th, 2007 01:20:30 PM
It's better dead (but with a proper ending). But if we can get the awesome retool idea of the FBI.... oh god, I need that.
I didn't tell them that address? by wintocha67	Jun 8th, 2007 02:12:24 PM
I don't know what I selected, maybe my home address? I hope they don't send it here?
season 3 by mollyunravel	Jun 8th, 2007 02:27:15 PM
i've been thinking more about how many people disliked season 3 for whatever reason... i mean, there's no question that seasons 1 and 2 were better (i, for one, am a rare individual who preferred season 2) than the current incarnation of vmars, but i guess the question is - if season 1 and 2 didn't exist and season 3 was actually the first, would you have liked it? it's hard to say because there's a lot of story that came before, but just generally... i think that if i'd only ever seen season 3 i'd still consider it one of the best written/acted/produced shows on network television. that's just my opinion though.
Mollyunravel, a very good point... by DanielKurland	Jun 8th, 2007 02:29:31 PM
And I think I'd agree with you. I also prefer season two to season one, if only for how season one has a lot of bland filler episodes at the beginning, whereas season two just kicks off great, and keeps going. Yes, it does become a little too complicated, but I didn't mind.
Wintocha... by YouIgnorantGeeks	Jun 8th, 2007 03:01:55 PM
Have you ever used Amazon.com before? Like do you have an account and have had stuff shipped to you before? In that case try to log back on right now and edit the shipment if you still can, otherwise Amazon will be shipping it to your last ship-to address. This happened to me once, my ex got something I ordered because 5 months before I ordered her books and had them shipped to her house... so it automatically saved her address (so that it had both her address and mine) and next shipment it went to her. Granted, I should have paid attention to where its going, but I didn't know... I mean you sign in to your account, it has all your information... you assume its going to put in the address you put as your ship to address, I didn't even remember shipping anything anywhere else so didnt even pay attention... I knew that loads of times before it automaticaly shipped to me so just assumed it would again. So, long winded boring story aside.. If you have an account they will ship to your saved address... and at the last address you shipped to at that if you shipped to multiple locations.
Shipping Address by DS9-4ever	Jun 8th, 2007 03:53:19 PM
I think it might be okay if the wrong address is in there because they said they were going to suspend individual shipping in favor of a bulk shipment. But then again... I suppose you could wind up with some Mars Bars... but if you put in the code "Veronica" I think it would go into the bulk package. Keep your fingers crossed.
What'd they do with all the nuts? by veritasses	Jun 8th, 2007 04:13:39 PM
Dumpster? Donated to some elephant farm? Some intern selling it on eBay?
Hey all... by Scramble Network	Jun 8th, 2007 04:18:24 PM
Once again, you can save all the Amazon-related hassles by just contributing to the bulk order fund via paypal, at scramblenetwork.wordpress.com/ mars Also, the really big news: we have officially exhausted the U.S. stock of MARS Bars!!! Seriously, they're all gone, several thousand of them. So now, we're on to marshmallow. You know, "Veronica Mars, she's a marshmallow." This will be great, too, because bags of them are a lot bigger than candy bars, so the shipment will look all the more impressive. Just give to Paypal to help out the Marshmallow fund. Finally, it looks like these will be delivered via freight on an 18 wheeler. That should be pretty cool!
Candy coated by InfinityWave	Jun 8th, 2007 06:09:53 PM
There. $20 is a small price to pay to help pummel a rich TV executive with an embarassment of chocolate. Take this 18 wheeler full of saccharine treats as an indictment on your vacuous, disposable existence!!! ... What, this is to save that Veronica Mars show? Huh, well that's a plus too, I guess.
wintocha67 by urendimaleldil	Jun 8th, 2007 06:31:44 PM
I was totally on autopilot and did the same thing. I emailed the seller and they responded: "Dear Fan, Thank you for your order and support. All Mars bars will go to Dawn Ostroff for the campaign so not to worry! Post on our blog at www.theindianfoodstore.blogspo t.com if you have any suggestions! Let's hope this works! Thanks, Sachin Agrawal, Manager TheIndianFoodStore".
