It has been more than two weeks since the last episode of Veronica Mars aired, and I'm experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms. I need a fix! My Veronica Mars addiction is real bad--I even had a dream about it when I took a nap yesterday.

When a friend recommended the show to me last year, I didn't take her seriously. I assumed that it's just another clone of The OC (lame) or One Tree Hill (lamer), because that's what the blurbs on ETC made it look like. But I started to hear more and more positive reviews, so I finally decided to check it out when I got some free time a few months ago. I ended up finishing the first two seasons in three days, and I've been hooked ever since.

Here are three reasons why I like Veronica Mars:

1. The writing is excellent. It reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (another show on my list of favorites). The characters have depth, the dialogue is witty, and the story arcs are well thought out, unlike some other shows I love (yes, 24, I'm looking at you). Sometimes I wish it could have a bit more violence and a bit less teenage romance, but hey, no TV show can be perfect.

2. The theme song, We Used To Be Friends by the Dandy Warhols, is catchy. Here's an unofficial music video of the full song for your enjoyment. Just don't blame me if the song gets stuck in your head like it did in mine.

3. Kristen Bell is cute. That's what convinced me to start watching the show in the first place. Yes, I really am that shallow.

The current season airs on The CW, a US cable channel. The "CW"? That's the best name they can come up with? What, they can't even afford to buy a third letter for their name? Everyone knows that a serious TV network must have a three-letter name, e.g. NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox, CNN, etc.

Anyway, the bastards at The CW put Veronica Mars on hiatus two weeks ago. And what did they replace one of TV's most intelligent shows with? The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll, which is--you guessed it--a search for the next Pussycat Doll. Yes, it's as stupid as it sounds... although I must admit that its first episode did have some sweet moments.

Haha! Vomiting is so funny! But I still hate The CW for bumping Veronica Mars in favor of this mess.

Come to think of it, if they just add frequent vomiting to Veronica Mars, it could easily become the funniest show on TV! Hmm....
