Mmkay...I know it's over a month away, but I'm kinda excited for the show to come back.









Btw...in that last teaser poster ^^, that isn't Blair/Leighton Meester. Apparently it's this cougar-type character played by Madchen Amick, idk who that is.

"Amick, 37, will appear in the first few eps of the new season as cougar Catherine Mason and tempt Nate Archibald (Crawford, 22) with a May-December romance. In the first four or five episodes, it will also be revealed that Amick’s character will also have “a surprising connection to another new character on the show.”

& also...CW is switching channels again?! Merger between CW & Fox shrug.gif

Anyways...discuss _smile.gif

I've only read one of the books. The show seems interesting though, but I'm only one for catching things when they're a month old.

Did you hear about the moms complaining about the racy pictures. I bet those are the miley-hater moms too.

it's hilarious however that all their posters are dealing with sex.

it's as if no one would watch the show if they didn't all sleep around.

This show is my pathetic guilty pleasure. It's so addicting. Watch one episode and you're dying to find out what's next. I have like, 1/2 of season one on my iPod.


Haha, in the previews, Blair calls Chuck a "Mother-Chucker". I found it amusing.

A collection of season two teasers:


The show will return for an extra-long twenty-four episode (to compensate for missing episodes last season due to the writer's strike) second season on September first. [1]

Yeah, I suppose that is a bit unexpected (at the least). laugh.gif

See, I don't feel guilty. Although the show is consistently described as a guilty pleasure, which I can understand, I honestly consider it quality television. I think the show has a perfectly satirical angle in its (actually) profound social commentary. The New York Magazine said:

QUOTE
In fact, the show has resurrected the potential for scripted dramas to be effective social satire—to present a world more accurately than a "reality" program can. Gossip Girl presents a wealth-eye view of the city, but because it is a cartoon we can laugh along with the conspicuousness of the consumption. Living among the wealthy in New York is an experience of queasy ambivalence—we find their antics both mesmerizing and icky. But on Gossip Girl, we do not have to judge them, or ourselves. The show mocks our superficial fantasies while satisfying them, allowing us to partake in the over-the-top pleasures of the irresponsible superrich without anxiety or guilt or moralizing. It’s class warfare as blood sport. And, as Blair Waldorf might say, that’s entertainment.


Further, I think the writing, the acting, the set and costume design... all spectacular. Show creator Josh Schwartz has a style of satire and 'upper-class decadence/lower-class sensibility' mixing, first established in his (stupidly popular) teen drama The O.C., that is actually amazingly resonate. Sure, the concept eventually committed suicide somewhere in some overpriced-human-slave-ridden-orange-county-mansion... but, it's really been revived in Manhattan... the streets of New York City. Better writing, a more talented cast, and a much more thoughtful production has granted Schwartz the sort of power he needs in order to effectively weave his tales of class confusion, adolescent pain, and sorted romance. And I, for one, find it to be utterly brilliant. So, in perfect honesty, and despite my snobbery, I can say that I am not the least bit guilty that I love Gossip Girl.

xo xo.

Sweet! I can't wait for season two. Of course, I do need to finish season one first. This show is so addicting... I think it's probably because it IS trashy! LOL. It really does have its sweet moments, though, too. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I loved the series, until I fell behind and stopped buying the books.
The TV show, though, I don't like how the writers took a lot of creative liberty over the story lines.
It's just something I can't get behind.
