Each week, my two most hotly anticipated shows vary. But this week, after two weeks off, they were 100% Gossip Girl and How I Met Your Mother. Both of which had pretty “meh” episodes, with sprinklings of the brilliance we normally see. Gossip Girl this week told us the tale of Blair’s seemingly-apocalyptic […]
Rufus and Lily grow closer, Chuck finds redemption and family, Erik shows off his German and Serena finds her place in the world. But, meanwhile, Nate and Vanessa seem to cease to exist, seeds are planted for Dan to go down a dangerous road and Blair’s world falls apart. On the Upper East Side if […]
In a move representative of their usual amount of innovation, The CW recently announced that a Gossip Girl spinoff is in the works. The new show will follow a young Lily van der Woodsen (Serena’s mom)’s adventures as an 80s wild child in LA. I’m going to assume that Rufus Humphrey and his rock band […]
When I started Gossip Girl a measly five days ago, I expected a soapy, fashionable dramady. Thanks to Kelly’s enthusiasm, I also expected to like it. I didn’t know how much I’d love it. See when Gossip Girl first premiered, I watched the Pilot and found a barrel full of meh awaiting my troubles. […]

On this week’s Gossip Girl, Dan “the writer” Humphrey said “I feel really badly about that”. To “feel badly” is to have your sense of touch impaired, to […]
Ok, we’re talking about how much I loved this week’s Gossip Girl. Though I’ve always had a bit of a weakness for them, frivolous teen shows almost never get me fully on board because they almost never succeed in making me like all of their characters. For every Seth Cohen there’s a Marissa Cooper, for […]
I missed Gossip Girlthis week and have only just caught up. I loved it. The episode was titled “Chuck in Real Life” and was the perfect balance of Chuck-iness. Easily the best character, the right dose of Chuck can make any episode awesome. In other news, I really like Eric van der Woodsen. He’s a pretty […]
Spot the differences- I dare you. After the buzz that last year’s premiere of Gossip Girl created, its home network, The CW, is doing all they can to replicate the effect (note that I didn’t use the word “success” because on a revenue, ratings, business level Gossip Girldidn’t deliver). Gossip Girl‘s second season is off […]
