Veronica Mars Fans

mood: anxious

I realize that some (but not all) of these end-of-the-year accolades have been previously posted here, but for my LJ and a couple of groups, I made up a little summary of all the lovely press the series has getting this past month. I thought I'd post it here, in case anyone else would be interested in seeing just how well our show is being received by the TV critics. It's so nice to see all the critical praise being heaped on the show right now. If only this would translate to higher ratings.
