As the daughter of well-respected County Sheriff Keith Mars, Veronica's biggest problem was getting unceremoniously dumped by her boyfriend (and Lilly's brother), Duncan Kane. With Lilly's murder, however, Veronica's life falls apart. Her father accuses Lilly's father, the popular software billionaire Jake Kane, of being involved in the murder; this provokes Neptune's wrath and causes Keith to lose a recall election. Veronica's mother, Lianne, develops a drinking problem and leaves town. And Veronica's "09er" friends—wealthy students from the fictional 90909 ZIP code—force her to choose between them and her father. The ZIP code is the system of Postal codes used by the United States Postal Service (USPS Veronica chooses her father. After being forced out of the sheriff's office, Keith opens his own private investigation agency, Mars Investigations, where Veronica works part-time. Over the course of the series, Veronica helps her father solve cases and conducts her own investigations on behalf of friends and acquaintances at school.

Season one

The first season's main story arc is about the murder of Veronica's best friend, Lilly Kane, and Veronica's search for Lilly's killer, following new evidence which seemed to prove that Abel Koontz, the man imprisoned after confessing to Lilly's murder, was in fact innocent.

Veronica, no longer part of the school's wealthy in-crowd, makes some new friends: Wallace Fennel, Neptune High basketball star; Eli “Weevil” Navarro, leader of the PCHers, a Latino biker gang; and Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie, Neptune High's resident computer genius.

The season ends with Veronica discovering who killed Lilly and getting justice for her. The closing scene is a shot of Veronica opening the door and saying, "I hoped it was you. " this sparked several questions and caused some controversy as to who the mystery person could be.

Season two

The second season begins with the introduction of two new cases: the mysterious death of PCH biker gang member Felix Toombs and a mysterious bus accident that kills several students. First, Logan, in a bout of drunkenness spurred by Veronica's readiness to believe the worst of him, picks a fight with Weevil and the PCHers and ends up accused of killing Toombs, a charge he denies. This charge puts Logan on the wrong side of not only the law, but also of Weevil and his gang. Under these pressures, Logan begins to revert to his former delinquent ways, and Veronica breaks up with him. Partway through the season, Weevil finally becomes convinced of Logan's innocence and the two team up to find the real killer, with occasional help from Veronica. The second mystery is introduced in the final minutes of the first episode, when a school bus full of Neptune High students plunges off a cliff, killing almost everyone on board. Veronica, who was supposed to be on the bus, makes it her mission to discover why the bus crashed.

This season shows Veronica’s life returning to much the way it had been before Lilly’s death. Having broken up with Logan during the summer, she reunites with Duncan Kane and is again accepted, albeit begrudgingly, by the '09ers.

Critical reception

Though not a ratings success, the series, in particular the first season, was a critical success. Robert Abele of LA Weekly said "In this smart, engaging series about a former popular girl turned crime-solving high school outcast, the hard-boiled dialogue comes from its teen protagonist's mouth in a way that stabs any potential cutesiness in the heart with an ice pick.

Fandom

Fan campaigns

Veronica Mars attracted a loyal and devoted fanbase that included internet communities. The Internet is a global system of interconnected Computer networks Many of them took part in minor and major campaigns to bring more viewers and publicity to Veronica Mars in an effort to ensure that the series continued.

A group of devoted fans on LiveJournal who call themselves Cloud Watchers have been dedicated to this effort since the spring of 2006 in light of the then-approaching merger of UPN and The WB into The CW. LiveJournal (often abbreviated LJ) is a Virtual community where Internet users can keep a Blog, Journal or Diary. United Paramount Network ( UPN) was a Television network that broadcast in over 200 markets in the United States and that was in production for over eleven The CW Television Network ( The CW) is a Television network in the United States launched at the beginning of the 2006-2007 television season. On May 9, 2006, the group hired a plane to fly between the UPN offices in Los Angeles and the future site of The CW headquarters in Burbank, pulling a banner that read "RENEW VERONICA MARS! CW 2006!" to get the attention of network executives, the press, and anyone else in the Los Angeles area. Events 1457 BC - Battle of Megiddo (15th century BC between Thutmose III and a large Canaanite coalition under the King of Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West Burbank is a city in Los Angeles County California, United States. They had previously sent future CW executives, those in charge at the new network's parent companies, and influential people in the entertainment media care packages including binoculars, information regarding the plane's flight plan, and Veronica Mars-inspired gifts. [41]

Veronica Mars was officially renewed for a third season on May 18, 2006 to air on The CW Tuesdays at 9pm ET starting on October 3, 2006 but fans did not stop campaigning for the show. Events 1152 - Henry II of England marries Eleanor of Aquitaine. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. Events 42 BC - First Battle of Philippi: Triumvirs Mark Antony and Octavian fight an indecisive battle with Caesar's Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. [42] The Cloud Watchers started a new campaign, this one to bring a larger viewership to Veronica Mars by donating DVD sets of season one to libraries across the United States, with a goal of reaching the top 100 Nielsen markets and each of the 50 states. They reached both these goals as of August 14, 2006 and reached their new goal of 500 donated sets on September 5, 2006. Events 1183 - Taira no Munemori and the Taira clan take the young Emperor Antoku and the three sacred treasures Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. Events 1590 - Alexander Farnese 's army forces Henry IV of France to raise the siege of Paris. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. [43]

With the show's third season order cut from 22 episodes to 20, many of the show's diehard fans swung into action once more. Fans at the Television Without Pity website began organizing a flyer campaign to raise awareness of the show, and increase viewership in time for the show's return to The CW on May 1, 2007. Television Without Pity (often abbreviated TWoP) is a Website that provides detailed recaps of select television Dramas situation comedies The CW Television Network ( The CW) is a Television network in the United States launched at the beginning of the 2006-2007 television season. Events 305 - Diocletian and Maximian retire from the office of Roman Emperor. Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century.

In early March 2007, Save Veronica Mars [44] — a fan-run website that was instrumental in spreading the word when fans campaigned successfully for a second season — returned with a new, two-pronged purpose: to ensure a fourth season renewal, and to make sure that the show stayed in production long enough to have a sufficient number of episodes for syndication. March 2007 is the third month of the year It began on a Thursday, and ended 31 days later on a Saturday. It has been reported that over 30,000 flyers were printed.

In late March 2007, several other fan campaigns were added to the Save Veronica Mars effort, including the "Bars for Mars" campaign. March 2007 is the third month of the year It began on a Thursday, and ended 31 days later on a Saturday. [45] The campaign asks for all fans of the show to band together and flood the mailrooms of The CW with actual "Mars" chocolate bar wrappers to show their dedication and loyalty for Veronica Mars. Hundreds of wrappers have already been sent to CW offices, and more are to follow.

In early June 2007, a mere eight days before an official decision was to be made by The CW on whether or not to bring Veronica Mars back as a mid-season replacement, Hercules — a columnist at the Ain't It Cool News website — posted an idea on that site that caught on. June 2007 is the sixth month of that year It began on a Friday and 30 days later ended on a Saturday. The CW Television Network ( The CW) is a Television network in the United States launched at the beginning of the 2006-2007 television season. Instead of just sending wrappers, fans were to start ordering Mars bars themselves from a small, family-run business in Houston called TheIndianFoodStore.com. After buying out all the Mars bars they could find, the store switched to Snickers Almond bars — the American replacement for the now defunct American Mars bar. Marshmallows were also added to the list, based on a quote from the show's pilot. In two days, fans ordered — and the store corralled, according to its blog — around 10,000 candy bars and 350 pounds of marshmallows. The idea was to find enough candy bars and marshmallows to fill up some of an 18-wheeler truck that would drive cross-country to The CW headquarters in Burbank to deliver its load prior to the network's June 15 deadline. Events 763 BC - Assyrians record a Solar eclipse that will be used to fix the Chronology of Mesopotamian history The shipment was delivered and contained 1,400 pounds of candy bars and marshmallows. The total donated from fans to buy the candy was $2,942. 56. Neither the total weight nor contributions include anything purchased and sent by fans on their own.

In June of 2007 a Group of Veronica Mars Fans created Neptune Rising- The Veronica Mars Movement ,with the aim of achieving Syndication, Direct to DVD episodes, a Movie, or complete reinstatement. Neptune Rising was created as a centralized forum to bring all the campaigns into one. [46] Current Neptune Rising campaigns include The Loan it Forward campaign, where Veronica Mars Box sets are given to Internet Bloggers with a note to pass it along to another blogger after they have watched it.
