Okay...so I finally gave in and decided to watch other shows that star (or guest star) peeps from my Buffyverse...and again, I say my Buffyverse, like I own it...

First off, I have had VERONICA MARS on my Netflix queue forever. Every time it came up closer to the top, I would push it back down...even though, I was well aware that not only was Alyson Hannigan a recurring character, but Charisma Carpenter and even, bow to the heavens, Joss Whedon....I just wasn't feeling it. I felt too old to start up on a fluffy, 90210-ish high-school weep fest....(which is why I never got into the OC craze)

But, just a few weeks ago, I added the first season of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER to the top of the ol' queue heap...even though, once again, I was putting it off because I didn't think I would be able to cope with Alyson Hannigan not being my Willow...and yes, I say my Willow...but man, was I wrong! That freakin' show is the best sitcom I have seen in a looooong time. I had to go out and buy the first season immediately. And the best thing about it, Alyson Hannigan is such a good actress that I rarely think of Willow....rarely...I still refer to her character as Willow sometimes...old habits. The best episode was the last of season 1....Alyson Hannigan, Alexis Denisof, and Amy Acker were all in it...I was seriously hootin' and hollerin' at the tv...it was a good day in my Buffyverse.

So back to VERONICA MARS...I decided to give it a shot since I was soooo absolutely wrong about HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. I received the first disc from season 1 in the mail last week. I have to be honest, it sat on the counter for a couple days before I begrudgingly threw it in the dvd player...Once again, I was off the mark by a freakin' ton...This show was even better! I have only seen the first 4 episodes, so, hopefully I won't be retracting these statements, but HOLY COW...this is the smartest, most entertaining show that has ever been cancelled prematurely...I find myself drawn to this series the way I was drawn to Buffy...a moment of silence, please...

So to sum this blah-blah-blog up, I would just like to reiterate my total ignorance and my new love for both VERONICA MARS and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER...and to express the utter, uninhibited, unprovoked, irrational longing to make-out with Veronica Mars...

Don't be a hero, Scherbatsky.
