Debbie and I finished the third and final season of Veronica Mars last night and SPOILER ALERT we were obviously disappointed.

We've watched all three seasons over the past few months (thanks, writer's strike) and really enjoyed it. But the haphazard ending, thanks to its cancellation left us unfulfilled.

When I tell people about the show, I compare it to a high-school version of Scooby-Doo (minus the talking dog). Veronica, the way overachieving high schooler, solves mysteries as a private investigator, and seems to run in to scandal and murder wherever she goes.

The show wasn't that realistic (seriously, can one person have so much death in their life and still crack jokes on a regular basis?), but it was well-written, and it spoke to a generation. The characters were mostly well-developed, and the plotlines were engaging.

It's too bad that the series finale left so much unanswered — and didn't get Veronica and Logan back together — but at least we get more Kristen Bell in Heroes.

If you have some time and enjoy serialized, California shows (24, anyone?), give Veronica Mars a chance.

I used to never be able to do these, but I learned on the back of a box of Golden Grahams.

Did you get the message?

All it costs is your humility.

Why are all the most ridiculous viral videos from foreign TV shows? Hollywood, take note.

PS - sorry for the shorter posts. These tradeshows take up a lot of my day, and when I do have time to relax, the last thing I want to do is sit in front of the computer.

“24" will be getting a two-hour movie that prequels Season 7 this fall, the Hollywood Reporter is reporting.

The movie, designed to bridge the two-year gap between Seasons 6 and 7, is targeted to air in the fall, leading to the January return of the real-time drama. On Wednesday, "24" producers began securing the show's core cast members for the film.

I guess Fox didn't listen to my idea for National 24 day, but this is pretty big news.

So, now that there is SOME news, let the speculation begin…

- Will it be a two-hour "real-time" affair? Or will it stray from 24's standard time model?
- Is this the 24 movie that was supposed to come out? Or is that still happening?
- What will the prequel bring that we don't already know about Season 7? Most of the times, the prequels on the DVDs don't do much at all for the season.

Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely looking forward to it. But is this just a way to "apologize" to fans for the lack of Jack Bauer in 2008? Or will it actually mean something to the show?

Canseco: 'Hey Guys, Who Wants To Come To My Big Steroid Party This Weekend?'

MIAMI—Former MLB star and admitted steroid user Jose Canseco extended an informal invitation Monday to over 500 current and former professional baseball players, requesting their presence at his house this coming weekend for his annual steroid party.

"Hey guys, big steroid bash at my place," Canseco said while handing out flyers at a Toronto Blue Jays spring training intrasquad game. "Nothing too fancy, just a bunch of guys, hanging out, taking steroids. Tell your friends."

The party is historically an extravagant affair, usually featuring women in bikinis carrying silver trays of various types of anabolic steroids, four VIP suites upstairs where guests can sample steroids from Canseco's personal collection, a giant 40-foot-tall ice syringe filled with Dianabol, oil paintings of steroids on the walls, a keg of steroids, a disco ball, and a punch bowl spiked with steroids.
