that's because they realized they were wrongwrongwrong and pulled it before they looked even stupider than they already did.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Correct. The CW passed out materials to advertisers that basically had a proposed schedule, and TV Week misinterpreted them as official pickups. It's still good news for VM in that they're still on the schedule (of course, that was before they saw the ratings this week, which were better than they've been since the hiatus but not much of an improvement).

Despite ample lead-in support from America's Next Top Model, UPN's critically acclaimed Veronica Mars did not benefit, with a fifth-place 2.2/ 3 in the overnights, 2.76 million viewers and a 1.2/ 3 among adults 18-49 from 9-10 p.m. Retention for Veronica Mars out of Top Model was just 48 percent in the overnights, 57 percent in total viewers and 50 percent among adults 18-49.

Neptunesite lists the weekly ratings. "Versatile Toppings" got a 2.2/3, better than ANMMHE's 1.7/2, but with ANTM as a lead in, it should have done much better. Maybe there needed to be more promotion that it was a new episode, and next week's ratings will increase.

ETA: tiggy beat me to it.

That's too bad, since Lost was a repeat. I was hoping it would be a great week. I have to say though, I have never seen taking a show off the air during sweeps help the show gain any...

I am the broken record. I need to shut up.

there is something to be said for the lyric and imperial attitude / believe that everything is for you until you discover that you are for it

VM meara:

I just watched "Big Love" on HBO and it's a total VM reunion! Mac as a cute, earnest Mormon! Lilly has three mommies! Cassidy shirtless! (ok, his charms aren't actually highlighted by lack of shirt, but still!)

Also (way catching up), VM reference on the last ep of Arrested Development.

Shall we discuss Madison's hair? (query from Nora)

Totally a wig. It has freaked me out longtime.

Perhaps a future story point.
