The self-narrative style of Veronica Mars, although cool, has been bothering me, because it reminds me of something else. I've been trying to figure out for a couple of weeks what, but tonight, as calantha42 and I were watching another downloaded goodie, I had a moment of ephiphany.

Veronica Mars is MacGyver.

*glee*

Seriously, think about it. Geekery, snarkiness, self-deprecating and snotty commentary, real-time narration. Not to mention judicious use of gadgets.

And now, of course, there must be a story of some kind in which the two meet. MacGyver being, of course, an old friend of Keith Mars.

I have way too much time on my hands. ;)
