When you hear what the CW's newest show iZombie is about, it's pretty difficult to find any resemblance whatsoever to the cult favorite show Veronica Mars.

"It's about a pre-med student who's a zombie," iZombie star Malcolm Goodwin tells E! News. "But a functioning zombie. She can talk, she can think, she can feel. But in order to maintain those faculties, she has to consume brains every once in a while. Instead of killing people like zombies do, she works at the coroner's office where she has access to brains of dead people."

Yeah, the similarities are definitely not so clear...until you realize that executive producer Rob Thomas is the mind behind both of the funny and dramatic shows.
