This show was fun and utilized the great on-screen personality of Tim Daly. It was fun and entertaining with a bit of angst that made you want to tune in the following week--and then it was gone.
Maybe just maybe, networks need to give ensemble pieces that appear to have chemistry but need time to get to the public--the chance to do just that. The cost of the pilot and the first shows should at least make it financially prudent to show all of the shows in the can.
This one is gone-----but maybe next time the same mistake won't be made. And maybe, someone will find a vehicle for the multi-talented Mr. Daly.

Perry Mason is one of the very best courtroom dramas. The stories are concise and although you may believe you have a bad memory, the truth is that the conclusion is never telegraphed throughout the hour. Therefore, unlike most movies or television, watch each episode over and over, with reasonable time in between, and never quite know who 'dunnit.' One of the very big reasons this is a special show is that you really do not know the ending somewhere in the middle of the show.
The second is the the cast and chemistry. Previously, Raymond Burr played a heavy. In this series he is handsome, slim and as smart as they come as Perry Mason. Barbara Hale's Della Street is a perfect secretary, beautiful and loyal. The supporting cast is impeccable, even as the prosecutor Ham..... Burger can never win a case. Every episode he acts just as startled/surprised when Perry wins again. Paul as the dapper private eye provides an occasional comic relief as he does all the behind the scenes leg work.
There was a void without the original Perry and when it came back, and all but Mr Burr and Ms Hale had died. The characters showed a bit more affection and Barbara Hale's son played Paul Drake Jr. for a few episodes. Although not written with the same charm I can only say I wish Mr. Burr had lived many more years so that we might have twenty more to revisit.

Veronica Mars has great characters and yes, the episodes are not always the amazing top quality that we expect--but trust me even the 'fair' ones are head and shoulders above the norm.
I really appreciate the effort to gather an audience by the number of repeats per week. All that is needed is to keep the writing even and continue to make the audience want more.
Now about those characters-----where is Duncan? and keep the stories integrated so that everyone gets to be part of the story at least on a regular basis. Too many good characters that just aren't heard of regularly, anymore.
VM is a wonderful show and every time repeats are done week after week I {and I expect the 'audience'} have trouble with the continuity of the show. What is this now, shows are too expensive to produce so that the audience is lost in months of repeats? Whatever happened to 26 new episodes per year?
I really would love to watch this show for some years to come. Get with it, both the audience and the writers-------the show is worth all of our time.
