Rebuttal: Veronica Mars Was Way Ahead Of It's Time, But It Wasn't Perfect
(reference: https://www.cracked.com/article_26554_veronica-mars-was-way-ahead-its-time-yet-crazy-dated.html )
Veronica Mars captured a strong, devoted fanbase in three short years on a channel usually written off as "teen-ish" or "teenybopper," in that back in that time, UPN and CW were not known for their adult fare. Supernatural springs to mind as an example of that, and the show has matured with the network. Veronica Mars, however, had the misfortune of coming along during the changeover period from UPN to CW, and coming along a few years ahead of it's time.
As noted in the Cracked article, Veronica Mars did tackle a good number of topics that were prescient for their time, but ho-hum for today. And yet, as with many other television shows that age gracefully, they're still relevant.
