As much as I'd like to praise the 2nd straight beating from OTH to VM in a row, I'd like it if the ratings were just a little bit better. This is practically season-low(though the blame from that is on Idol I suppose).

Smart people watch "Veronica Mars". The ratings for the show (and for the rest of the night, for that matter) pretty much prove many theories about television.

Looks like Bones managed to hold better this week.

There just aren't enough smart people out there to watch VERONICA MARS. There are plenty of dumb people though watching other stuff. Oh well, next year it will get even better ratings.
