"Veronica Mars" may be no more, but her creator has already lined up his next television gig.
Rob Thomas is joining the staff of ABC's midseason series "Miss/Guided," the network confirms. He'll take on showrunner duties for the single-camera comedy, which stars Judy Greer ("Arrested Development," "Love Monkey") as a former nerd-turned-guidance counselor at the high school she attended.
Caroline Williams, a writer for "The Office," created the show and penned the pilot with Gaby Allan ("Scrubs"). "Beauty and the Geek" masterminds Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg are also among the executive producers, and Emmy winner Todd Holland ("Malcolm in the Middle," "Wonderfalls") directed the pilot.
The show will be Thomas' first time working on a half-hour comedy. Prior to "Veronica Mars," he created the cult favorite "Cupid" for ABC and worked on other dramas including "Dawson's Creek" and "The Education of Max Bickford." He's plenty familiar with "Miss/Guided's" high school setting, though, having written several young-adult novels in addition to guiding Veronica Mars through the treacherous hallways of Neptune High.
"Miss/Guided" also stars Brooke Burns ("Pepper Dennis"), Kristoffer Polaha ("North Shore"), Jonathan Sadowski ("Live Free or Die Hard") and Earl Billings ("Thank You for Smoking"). ABC has not yet said where it will land on the schedule. | Only registered users can write comments.

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
