Editorial Review:
Hearst College, jewel of the Pacific. A citadel of higher education set amid rolling lawns and swaying palms. But since Hearst is in Neptune, California - and since Veronica Mars is among its incoming freshmen - you know it's also a noir netherworld of lies, betrayal, secrets and (of course) murder. Veronica, Logan and more of your VM favorites join cool new characters for a Season 3 of seething mystery and sardonic wit. College is indeed a learning experience as Veronica aces a crim class led by a hunky prof, solves the case of on-campus rapes that began in Season Two, and gives a grad seminar in sleuthing when two faculty members take sudden, eternal early retirements. Frosh year is gonna be freaky!

Description of Veronica Mars - The Complete Third Season:
Equal parts Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Nancy Drew, Veronica Mars is smartly written and well-acted. This third and final season of the critically acclaimed (but viewer-challenged) series ends as all good shows should--by leaving viewers wanting more and wondering how their favorite characters will fare in the future. By now, our spunky heroine Veronica (played by the effervescent Kristen Bell) is a college student working on a degree in criminology. Though blond, pretty, and uber-smart, Veronica doesn't have an easy time fitting in to her new setting. The series focuses as much on her personal life this season as it does on the cases she is hired (and paid) to solve. Besides dealing with rapes, robbery, and other sordid crimes, Veronica has to clear her own name when she is accused of plagiarizing. She also gets involved in helping figure out who may have given a pregnant friend a pill that caused her to lose the baby. This year's guest stars include some stunt casting with Patty Hearst, who plays a wealthy woman who disappears during an event held in her honor. Unlike the first two years where Veronica focused on solving one major crime, this season features several story arcs. Perhaps it was the producer's way of trying to attract more viewers, but diehard fans may be turned off by the change, which provides a less cohesive storyline than in the past. All 20 episodes--which aired originally during the 2006-2007 television season--are included in this six-disc set. The collection also includes a cute gag reel and an informative bonus feature that includes insightful commentary from show creator Rob Thomas. --Jae-Ha Kim
Veronica Mars - The Complete Third Season Reviews:
Great series! 
2009-12-08 - This is the best series I have seen in years, it is a shame that it got canceled mid story. It needs to be brought back full force! You go Veronica!!!
Last of the line?
2009-11-11 - So, this is the last season for Veronica Mars and we follow her from High School to College. OK so it's not Stanford as she'd always planned, in fact she's still in Neptune CA. Poor girl just can't seem to escape her past. After the high drama of Season 2 she just wants to settle in to her new life, but guess what? College has more murky dealings that just keep getting in the way.
She still has the ever-reliable "Wallace" for help, although his role as side-kick becomes less important as we are introduced to an array of new characters for Veronica to exploit, as she crusades against campus rapists and murderers. Of particular note is "Mac" played by Tina Marjorino, a cross between Buffy's "straight" Willow and Droopy (!).
Romance comes in the form of "Logan" and others, and we learn more about the 09-ers families. Unfinished business from Season 2 casts its own shadows, and Veronica does not come through unscathed.
I got a lot of fun from this series. The writing, the actors' comfort with their roles and the clever use of limited funds to give us a big budget feel, produced an excellent example of US television at its best. So it is a pity that the network insisted that the producers change the format for the last half-dozen or so episodes. By forcing the writers to round up long-running stories in a rush, to allow the episodes to be shown as stand-alone ones as their slots were moved around or postponed in America, they practically guaranteed the show's premature demise.
Not to be defeated by the network's negativity, creater Rob Thomas raised the funds for a pilot for Season 4. The DVD box-set includes this as one of the many bonus features, and I for one would like to know what happened next. So, if you won the Euromillions Lottery this week, and fancy getting into production ... ?
Cheap!
2009-10-03 - So I have been looking for all the seasons of this show for quite some time i started watching it just this past summer, so i guess you can say that it wasn't a long time... but anyway this is the cheapest i have found the third season!
