What we're watching: You know we're watching Lost, why even ask? King James and his band of merry men take on the Detroit Pistons at 8 p.m., unfortunately ESPN left their SkyCams at home. We don't usually watch Veronica Mars, but TVSquad says this is a great episode for new viewers to jump into the series on. Maybe its worth a shot at 8 p.m. on UPN as they replay last night's episode.We need a new Wednesday night fix since (after tonight) Lost is all repeats until May.

Why don't you usually watch "Veronica Mars?" The show delivers on so many more levels than "Lost."
Though "Lost" is finally starting to kcik some ass again (tonight and last Wednesdays' shows being very good).
Still, VM is the better of the two shows, and is the only one of the two in danger of being canceled, please direct people to watch more often! For my sake!

I agree with Jeff. Start watching Veronica Mars. This is one of the better shows I have seen in a long time. If not for VM, 24 and SVU, my HDTV would be strictly for Xbox360 and dvds.
Start watching VM now and tell all your freinds to do the same. While you are at it, go by season 1 on dvd.
