"Veronica Mars" is back on TV thanks to SOAPnet and you really should watch it. The cult-hit UPN/CW series is airing in syndication for the first time ever -- ever! -- and it's just as magical the second time around. (Or fifth or sixth, if you're me.)
Once you get past the elevator pitch -- a sassy teen sleuth -- "Veronica Mars" is purely thrilling TV. The show launched the careers of both Kristen Bell and Amanda Seyfried and made Steve Guttenberg relevant again. The Gute! As if those bits of information weren't enough convincing, here are more reasons why you need to check out "Veronica Mars."

- You should watch for ... Kristen Bell. Yes, she is a reason to watch the show. It's hard to think about anybody else playing the character -- which Seyfried read for -- because Kristen Bell is Veronica Mars. Bell brought effortless charm to the character and you can't help but root for the scrappy, snarky heroine. Her best friend was murdered, her mom ran out on her and she was raped ... And that's just the first episode. It was a crime Bell wasn't nominated for an Emmy once over the course of three seasons.
