Summer, Kind of Wonderful

Since the Pilot Episode i have been watching it never missed an episode i cant i am addicted to it and it does sounds weird since the title is "Gossip Girl" and i am a guy but this show is actually pretty cool and adicting i know for sure im not the only guy who watches it.

I know anyone who reads the Gossip Girl book series was excited for this show to come on. I, myself was a little disappointed to find out it wasnt exactly like the books but it did come pretty close which is good. Its turning out to be a really good show and if u havent seen it yet u should definitely check it out for yourself. Im looking forward to seeing how the story continues.

So far I've had some really mixed reactions to GOSSIP GIRL. First and foremost, who gives a frak about the social elite? Well, I guess someone out there does, but as a group I find them a tedious lot at best, at least in fictional settings. I suppose I shouldn't have said "foremost," because another reason I have sometimes disliked the show is the way that Josh Schwartz shows (well, at least THE O.C.) tend to introduce extraordinarily unlikable characters that the show persists in keeping right in your face. In this one we have two inconceivable unpleasant characters, Blair's boyfriend, who has all the personality of a manikin, and his buddy the serial rapist. My suspicion has always been that Josh Schwartz doesn't understand the difference between characters that we love to hate and characters that we merely hate.

So why did this episode appeal to me so much? Easy. Neither Manikin Boy nor Serial Rapist Boy are in the episode for even a second. Instead, the episode focuses mainly on Serena and Dan's first official date and Dan's sister Jenny's experiences at a Blair sleepover where they all play Truth or Dare.

Unfortunately, Manikin Boy and Serial Rapist Boy aren't dead and will tragically reappear, dragging the show down every second in which they appear. My hope is that Schwartz and Co. will have learned from THE O.C. and its string of tediously unlikable characters (from Oliver to the end); my fear is that they haven't.

if you are not in high school or college (i believe the target audience for this show,) then this may become one of your dirty little secrets. like it is mine. this is a fun show. i watched the pilot and i am hooked. gossipgirl has nicely created characters, interesting writing (there is always something going on) and the acting is good. actually, there is so much going on so fast that i'm not sure if there will be anything new left for the characters to do after the first 3 or 4 episodes. i believe there will be some comparisons to "beverly hills 90210" (for those of you old enough to remember.) a good high school romp. another comparison to 90210 will be that most of the actors on the show that are supposed to be attending high school have probably already been to their 5th or even 10th high school reunion already, but i can forgive that because the show is fun. i hope the show does well. i enjoy watching.

I read all the books, and it's not what i thought when i watched the show. Alot of things are diffent,but it's awesome, i've been waiting for it to come out forever.
