I've never understood the appeal of the current spate of teen-centric sitcoms. That is most likely because I am not a teenager. That aside, I'm sure there are dozens of people that will be saddened to learn of Veronica Mars imminent departure from the television airwaves. The shows creator, Rob "I'm not in Matchbox 20" Thomas issued a rather mournful statement today declaring the shows demise. Check it out below:

"I'm afraid I have to report that Veronica Mars is officially dead," he wrote. "At least in TV show form. There's really no way that it can happen now. I'm not sure the CW should've given the glimmer of hope. I think Dawn Ostroff genuinely would have liked to have continued on with a version of the show, but there was too much resistance around her. At the end of the day, it would've been kinder had the band aid simply been ripped off rather peeled away in than this agonizingly slow manner."

Whoa. Someone is not happy at all. Fans of the show, attempting to out-do the Jericho nut jobs, have begun inundating the CW with thousands of Mars candy bars. How creative. Given the finality of Thomas' statement, it seems unlikely that a bunch of candy, no matter how tasty it may be, will have much of an effect, but it can't hurt to try, I suppose.
