1. So, hmmm... Veronica Mars Revival in the Works for Hulu, with Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell involved. Not to worry it won't interfere with her on-going commitment to The Good Place. (Yeah, my mind went there too.


Weirdly this is the only reboot/revival that I'd be interested in seeing -- because the story ended too soon and had a lot more traction to it.

EW has learned a new season of the fan favorite mystery series is close to a deal at the streaming service — with original creator Rob Thomas and series star Kristen Bell on board.

Several elements of the deal are not yet closed but a revival has been quietly in the works for months between studio Warner Bros. and Hulu. We’re told the arrangement will allow Bell to appear on the new series despite her commitments to NBC’s The Good Place.

Aside from that, the unknowns outnumber the knowns at this point: What’s the storyline? How many episodes? Will other original series actors get invited back? When will it air? All TBD.

And yes, you know you have too many distribution channels with way too much content when you start having to reboot old television shows to fill time slots.

2. Co-worker emailed me his Library's Newsletter...which was filled with announcements about a fall foilage cruise up the Hudson, movie nights, yoga classes, medical health classes, concert nights, etc. And I thought, okay, this isn't a library, this is a community center pretending to be a library or that has a library inside it. I mutter this aloud and am informed by cubical mate that his library is exactly the same. Mine however is not. Why? It's in the CITY. Apparently the community center concept is reserved to branch libraries out on Long Island.


Weird NYC location factoid.

I live in Southern Brooklyn. Brooklyn is a borough of New York City and happens to be located on the same trajectory of land as Long Island. It is at the Western end of the Island.

Okay, still with me?

Yet, it is not considered part of The City, because it's on a different trajectory of land connected by bridges to The City aka Manhattan. It's also not considered part of Long Island because it is well a borough of New York City.

So, what is it then??? Brooklyn, NY apparently.


3. Work is crazy. I told my mother about it, she decided it was a comedy act.

I'm tentatively excited about the VM revival, too. And I'm glad to hear it won't interfere with Kristen's work on The Good Place.

I'd like to see more Veronica Mars, but I suppose they won't put it out on DVD.

The movie was a much better resolution of the TV show than S3. If they can build on that, it could be worth watching.

[shadowkat]

Felt the same way. Although there were a few excellent episodes in S3. I'd like to see them build on the movie's concept. With VM following in her father's footsteps and the female noir detective angle. KB does snarky female Philip Marlow really well.

[mefisto]

Yeah, at its best, VM was a really good show.
