Veronica Mars: Dawn Has No Regrets

Veronica Mars fans, we’re sorry to tell you this, but CW pres Dawn Ostroff has moved on.

“I can honestly sit here and say I can not look back and have any regrets [about canceling it],” Ostroff said. “I feel that we gave Veronica Mars every chance and as many of you here know, there was no stronger champion of that show than me. We gave it a better time slot to follow up every single year that it was on the air. And eventually, we just had to say how much longer do we go on without the show really catching on?”

Ouch. Well, we can’t argue with the ratings. But we still wish more people had tuned in to what we think was one of the best shows on TV.

Are you still in mourning, or have you moved on from Veronica Mars?

OMG cant believe they cancelled the onlii show i loved...this happens way to many time television networks pull programs to early we need to fight harder...to bad realli had high hopes for the next season..

hi im am a big fan of this show i bought every season and now i hear its cancelled that freakin sux cause i know a lot of ppl who watch the show and no they may not have watched the show every time it came on but like ppl work i used to tape the show if i was going to miss it and i do know alot of ppl have seen it cause i watched it with them on dvd and i so think u should give the show another chance cause now more ppl have tivo and stuff like that and i'm sure u all will have better rateings and like inbetween seasons u should tour to like malls and stuff promote the show!!!
sincerly,
a rly sad huge fan of ur show

I am sooo madd for them cancelling veronica mars...they cancelled practically all uniques shows and replaced them with dumb stupid ones!superficial shows! i think they should bring it back...i am sooo madd!ugh!i dont like cw andmore..so there!

I cant believe they cancelled the show, it was trully the best show. she was young and definitely a row model and maybe it wasnt very american. still dont understand why there wasnt any closure to the show. another thing Logan was for Veronica. I cant move on from VM. it was a sad moment to know they cancelled it.

I'm seriously about to cry about this. :[
I've only watched the first episode of Veronica Mars, because I just now found out about it because it's cancelled now!
I'm about to go crazy because I know how good of a show it was and now I can't watch it anymore because it's been cancelled!
I'm about to write a LONG letter to whoever the the double hockey sticks wanted to cancel this wonderful show.
UGH.
Is there ANY hopes of a movie?

I really think that a lot of people truly love the show.
I will never 4 get V.M
IT WAS THE BEST SHOW EVER !!!
MANY FANS ARE STILL UPSET

We're losing V and getting someone called "Gossip Girl?" Seems CW's decided to pander to the lowest common denominator. V may not have had the ratings, but that's only because most people aren't intelligent enough to follow her. I used to live on this station, but now they have nothing coming up this season I want to see except Smallville.

Wait, did someone say something bad happened to Smallville?

Wow, I just realized VM has been canceled. Another one bits the dust. Now it is looking like CW 11 is comming to an end real soon. They have canceled a few great show with in the last two seasons that has me wathching other stations now more than ever. I have been following the show from the first day it aired to the last and I truly though it had another 1 or 2 seasons left for all the fans to enjoy but guess not according to CW 11. They think they know what we the viewers want to see.

What a BIG LAUGH!!!!

i cant belive they cancelled this show it was one of my favorite shows. whats next one tree hill. HELL NO IF THEY CANCELL THIS SHOW I AM NEVER WATCHING THE CW AGAIN.

i loved that show and im so mad its gone

this sucks!! im obsessed with VM. and the finale didnt conclude anything. god this woman NEEDS to be fired like now much.now the Cw sucks cause they canceled Veronica mars and gilmore girls.what next one tree hill?

thiss is bulll!!!!!!!!!


i loved every second of that show it was inspiering....I MISS IT ALREADY

lets not forget what happened to everwood. please fire this woman now

Somebody needs to give Ostroff her marching orders - fast.
VM went downhill fast after she started meddling, now she's going to ruin Supernatural too by making them add stupid new characters. As for Smallville - what a crapfest of crappy love interests that is. Superman? Where's he?
Sack her!

I do NOT like the way they ended the season. I couldn't believe they were canceling the show after I saw the series finale not just the season finale. I just started watching the last season and I was hooked! I even got my dad hooked on the show b/c we both like mystery/detective shows. I was so disappointed.

sucks!!!!!!!!
come on VM was a great show
seriously, wont be watching much of the CW now...
Prison Break, House, Private Practice will be on my list this season...
CW dedicating all of Friday night to wrestling??? OMG! thats just... wow...
no words to describe the "smart" decisions being made by the executives...
VM & Gilmore Girls will be missed....

I certainly have not and will not get over the cancellation of Veronica Mars. I loved my show and have no plans to watch anything on the CW. Sorry but the network hardly had anything on worth watching before, now it has zero programs worth watching. Really Dawn has done me a favor by pointing out what useless crap she's putting on the television in the fall. I've saved a few brain cells and a whole lot of my precious time.

I WILL NEVER WATCH CW11 AGAIN.SHE WAS THE BEST THING CW11 HAD SHOWING. I HATE CW11 AND DAWN

You forgot to mention Gilmore Girls. That WAS a great show to..... what a shame....... I know I won't be watching ANYTHING on CW anymore!

What has she done to SMALLVILLE really I wont to know? please I love smallville

This really pissed me off. Veronica Mars was the best show on the CW and to go further, one of the best shows I've seen in years! See if I watch any of the stupid shows signed up for this fall.

VM may have been one of the CW's most creatively strong shows, but the ratings were putrid -- all 3 years! For the fanbase to be rejoycing after 3.5 million viewers was just ridiculous. The CW wasted a really good 2006-07 slot on Veronica Mars -- there were other higher-rated WB or UPN shows that could've gotten that slot. Few people believed that VM would benefit from Gilmore Girls...I'm not sure what gave people any hope otherwise.

No greater champion? That's why she couldn't keep her fingers out of the pie? VM had an uphill battle as it was, the meddling only made it worse. And she's only doing the same thing with other shows now, like Supernatural. She is the CW's own worse enemy. I can't understand why they haven't replaced her already. There's no guarantee the new network head would be any better but they probably wouldn't be much worse.

there was no stronger champion of that show than me. - Well Dawn, apparently you weren't strong enough. I personally thought VM was one of the best/strongest shows The CW had.

Veronica Mars was so smart and well written. I can't believe it's been cut! I wish the CW11 and Dawn just went bankrupt or something so that the WB could come back.

Dawn, GTFO, PLEASE. Someone buy out the CW from Dawn please! Get her ass from there. With her running things the CW won't last past 5 years. She just fucks up everything and pisses everyone off.

Dawn said this weeks ago, its not news, well not to Veronica Mars fans.

She may not have any regrets, but most fans hate her decision. Veronica Mars didn't end with any closure and for that people are po'ed.

The CW fall line is a joke. Most of their new shows are up against some big hits.

Aliens in America is up against Prison Break. (I'll be watching PB)
Reaper is up against House. (House always wins)
Gossip Girl may bring in some numbers but its up against Private Practice, Criminal Minds, Bones, and NBC's new show Bionic Woman.
The Sunday night lineup is going to fail its up against America's Funniest Home Videos, Extreme makeover: home edition, 60 Minutes, and Football.

Please, they're in more trouble than they know. Taking Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls off the air and making One Tree Hill a midseason show, were their biggest mistakes, they just don't know it yet, but they will once they see the numbers.

No, I have not gotten over Ms. Ostroff's cancellation of "Veronica Mars."

Ratings are becoming a meaningless gauge of TV viewership and I can't believe that network execs like Ostroff are unaware of how people now view TV shows -- ie: DVR, downloading from pay sites.

I also can't believe TV execs aren't trying to educate advertisers about how ratings have changed.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!

So lets see how many more fans she will tick off before the Fall season begins.

VM Fans - check
Supernatural Fans - check
One Tree Hill Fans - check
Smallville Fans - check

(now I know its not every single fan but she has manage to tick off quite a few)

Am I missing any??

way to go CW !!!!!!!!! so proud of ya !
