Fall Preview: GOSSIP GIRL
September 14, 2007 by Kath Skerry
Premiere Date: Wednesday, September 19, 2007
Airs: Wednesdays @ 9pm on The CW
At an exclusive prep school on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, students addictively follow text-messaged scoops on scandals and heartache among their peers as reported by Gossip Girl, a shadowy presence whose identity is known to no one. Gossip Girl’s dispatches kick into high gear as Serena Van Der Woodsen ends her self-imposed boarding school exile and returns to Manhattan, surprising even her closest friend, Blair. As Gossip Girl continues to stir the pot and feed any potential scandals, student buzz sifts through any available clues to the hottest topic of all: Who is Gossip Girl, anyway?
I didn’t want to like GOSSIP GIRL. Honestly, I didn’t. A show about rich, overpriveledged teenagers – yeah I saw it the first time when it was called 90210 and then again when it was called THE OC. But GOSSIP GIRLS is different than its predeccesors in dark, naughty…naughty way. These teens drink, have crazy sex and there is no apologizing for it – which I find refreshing. You’ll have to leave your moral judgement at the door for this one and just go with it. Fans of THE OC will feel creator Josh Schwartz’s influence in the humor and pop culture references in the show. The pilot alone features some of the hottest songs out there today by artists like Justin Timberlake. VERONICA MARS fans will love Kristen Bell’s role as the infamous voice of Gossip Girl – the teenage Perez Hilton of the Upper East Side. This show is definitely this season’s guilty pleasure and it makes my Top 5 of the Fall season.

Wow. I just watched the free episode from iTunes, and I really liked it. I am already crazy for Dan.
So I went and watched the free episode from itunes and can already tell its going to be sooo addicting! I was like you GMMR- wanted to hate it and had written it off (but secretly very curious). I gave in and surprisingly liked it- I thought that it was well acted and kept my attention the whole time. I really liked the main character Serena, and Dan…i can already tell he is going to be on my tv boyfriend list real soon! Go and watch it if you haven’t already!
I love Penn Badgley, he was so cute in “John Tucker Must Die,” I loved him as “The Other Tucker” and he is mainly the reason I will watch this show! 🙂
How do I find the pilot on iTunes? I’ve tried just about everything with no luck!
