"Veronica" Creator Moves to ABC Sitcom

With "Veronica Mars" now officially dead - despite a last-ditch marshmallow and candy campaign by fans - series creator Rob Thomas is moving onto his next project: ABC's new sitcom "Miss Guided."

The sitcom, which ABC picked up for a mid-season premiere at May's Upfronts, stars Judy Greer as a guidance counselor who returns to work at her old high school, only to find that her high school nemesis has also joined the faculty. Thomas will run the show as executive producer.

Thomas also has said that DC Comics is interested in making the fourth season of "Veronica" into a comic series, and he's still mulling a "Veronica" screenplay, so even though the show is gone from TV, it's long from being forgotten. Meanwhile, you can check out a clip of "Miss Guided," and to see a gallery of photos from the show, read more

Geek of the Week: Kristen Bell

Kristen Bell fanatic eclaireassuch nominated little Miss Veronica Mars as geeksugar's Geek of the Week after creating a Veronica Mars fanclub. The funny thing is, Kristen just happens to be featured on the cover of this month's Geek Monthly, a hot new magazine that covers all things geek. I have to concur, Kristen manages to play up the chic geek role better than anyone these days. "She's always using crazy gadgets (on Veronica Mars) that I have no idea where her character gets the money for - and she carries a taser. I'm not sure if that's geeky or gangsta, but still. She's also always outfiting iPod shuffles and little tiny things with minuscule cameras. If that's realistic, you'd have to be really geeky to know how to do that."

In real life, Kristen is seven years older than the high school student she portrays on Veronica Mars, attended New York University's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts and (this is my favorite part) is a vegetarian and animal rights activist. Geek chic is right! For a galley of pretty photos from the Geek Monthly photo shoot, read more
