Former Veronica Mars head honcho Rob Thomas has been hopscotching his way across the TV landscape this summer. Fresh off his departure from the sitcom Miss/Guided, he's landed a gig as consulting producer for the ABC show Big Shots, the "Men: We're the new women" show starring a bunch of guys who really should be able to do better. (What? From what we've seen, Big Shots isn't our idea of a good time.)

Since Rob will be joining former Mars producers Danielle Stokdyk and Jennifer Gwartz on the show, maybe this time he'll stick around!

In other news, our favorite cuddly-then-psycho Veronica Mars alum, Kyle Gallner (Beaver Casablancas) will be showing up in a recurring role on FX's hard-nosed cop drama The Shield. He'll play a guy who fatally shoots an intruder, then suffers emotional consequences.

Should we worry that Kyle's characters tend to rack up quite the body count?
