What to Watch…Monday, September 15, 2008

There are plenty and I mean plenty of new shows to keep your eyes glued to the screen tonight, but take my advice and enjoy tonight while you can, because starting next week Monday night’s are going to be insane!  I know what your thinking, “GMMR, why are saying that like it’s a bad thing?”  I know I should enjoy the riches of the full breadth of the Monday night lineup, but I enjoy sleep too and I hate to sacrifice one for the other.  But in the name of blogging and all things TV I will take on Monday and win!!

Until then, enjoy tonight’s fantastic lineup of TV.

Gossip Girl | 8pm on The CW
During a citywide blackout, Dan and Serena get to the heart of their problems while trapped in an elevator. Meanwhile, Blair fears her relationship with Marcus lacks passion; Nate is torn between Vanessa and Catherine. [GMMR: You must watch tonight’s episode.  Sooo good.  While I was watching I actually screamed at the TV saying “Oh My God, Chuck!” because there is a moment worthy of such a exclamation.  I’ll give you a hint – in this moment we just happen to hear Ed Westwick’s (who plays Chuck) real life accent.]
