i be amaze how many comment on this show be about how real it be . maybe i be not part of the same universe because if veronica mar be anything and it over the top in a big way . the acting be chew the scenery with enthusiasm and the plot have hole you could drive a truck through . that not what i call real . it be so earnest in it desire to be relevant that it only show how cut off from reality rob thomas and his staff be . overall and i find it to be at best a snooze fest and at bad more than a little annoying . kristen bell look like she could be a good actress and but it hard to tell with the over the top style of the whole show .
