I know that CBS and UPN are both owned by Viacom, but if they’re going to air Veronica Mars on the bigger network this summer, why only plan for 4 episodes instead of the entire first season? Either way, the forst 2 episodes will air back to back on July 29th, with the next 2 airing on August 5th and 12th. If nothign else, it’s another chance for you non-believers to get a sampler of the best network show of last season before the DVDs drop and season 2 kicks off this fall. Oh, and for you Whedon fans, Charisma Carpenter’s apparently going to be a semi-regular next season, joining Alyson Hannigan as the second Buffy alum to appear on the series.
