Veronica Mars

Finished re-going through VM the other day, on a bit of a re-watching things kick lately. Veronica Mars is about a girl who's father was sheriff of the town they live in and now is a P.I., and she also does investigations. It's also about high school. It's a good show with a strong, smart female lead character. Seasons 1&2 are classic, both involved murder investigations. Season 3 had a little less of a through-line, but still was pretty good.

Some tidbits: Season 3 was done as BSG was breaking big, so they used the word 'frak' a couple of times in the first few episodes. The creator of VM is a huge Big Lebowski fan, and there are subtle and not-so-subtle references to it in episodes 2,4,8,10,&16. There's a great Johnny Cash reference in episode 5. There's a great Blazing Saddles reference in episode 16. Finally, episode 3 included not only a Neko Case song, but also a Regina Spektor. Nice.
