Summary: Gossip Girl
Comment: I first come across Gossip Girl when I saw a trailer on you tube! The first thing that made want to
tune in from the trailer was the fact the show was created by Joel Schwarz - The man behind The OC
and I'm totally obsessed with The OC and miss it so much!

The second reason was I read
that the show was narrated by Kristen Bell my favourite TV actress! For those who don't who is
Kristen Bell is! She is the lead character on Veronica Mars! And I loved Veronica Mars so much too!

Veronica Mars & The OC where both axed at the same time so I really had nothing to
look forward to in the 2007-2008 season until I stumble across this! It was like having my 2
favourite shows in 1 show!

So as soon as the pilot aired I was not left disappointed!
For fans of The OC you will love this show as it pretty much the same concept but instead of a bunch
of rich kids in Orange County we have a bunch of rich kids in New York!

- No Spoilers
-

For those who are fans of The OC and think this maybe just an OC rip-off it really
isn't as the characters are completely different even though the same concept might be there the
storylines are totally different!

For one the characters compare to The OC are much
more loveable and just as funny! The main character Serena is a less depressing Marissa! And even
though I love The OC I did find it could become depressing and dark at sometimes! I love the fact
this maybe this is the 1st teen show that deals with depressing issue but is never depressing! If
just pure fun and addictive to watch!

This show if you haven't seen it is like a teen
version of Sex & The City! I have to admit it is completely girlie but I have no shame! I love it -
the fashion, the scenery and the storylines are some of the reason make this show a must watch! />
The actors are brilliant especially the main characters! Serena the loveable party girl who
always looks great and Blair the queen bee of the high school! Who comes across as a b!tch but as
the shows progress you see the deeper layers of Blair that makes her more loveable! And both
portrayed by both actress brilliantly!

Without giving the plot away the storylines are
wonderful and make each episode addictive and the dialogue is so good there is some really witty
one-liners! And each of the teen subjects dealt with in the show such as drug abuse, eating
disorders etc are dealt with the greatest care and really well done by the producers and
creators!

The show is basically about a group of troubled teenagers of the upper east
side of Manhattan basically the highest society in New York! The show is narrated through a internet
blogger only known as Gossip Girl (hence the title)! But die fans will know that Gossip Girl is
narrated by Veronica Mars - Kristen Bell! As far as the character of Gossip Girl goes we never see
her or has yet to be reveal who she is!

As far narrating goes Kristen Bell is
absolutely brilliant! Kristen Bell voice is one of the most pleasurable to listen to! Gossip Girl
apart from Desperate Housewives & Veronica Mars narrating has to be the best in TV history!! I love
the witty one-liners & catchphrases like "You Know You Love Me" & "XOXO" etc

Even
though I get the pleasure of Kristen Bell narration it makes me really miss Veronica Mars as this
show maybe be as good as the OC it's no Veronica Mars and it's not as clever and witty as Veronica
Mars! Seriously Veronica will always be my favourite teen show and is the most intelligent! So this
is why I get sad because I get to hear but not see Kristen Bell! Good thing she is in Heroes now!

The other highlight in the show for me is the guest appearance of Michelle
Trachtenberg. who played Dawn Summers - Buffy's little sister! And she is brilliant in the show! I
really loved Buffy too! This show real fills The OC-Buffy-Veronica Mars hole for me! And like those
3 shows this has to go alongside it as one of the best teen shows!

The other thing
that I loved about this show it is like the TV version of Mean Girls! And I loved Mean Girls too! If
you are a fan of TV Shows and Teen Movies this will be right up your street and easily a classic!
But if you're not a fan of teen shows but like good shows like SATC & Housewives I would recommend
this as well! You know you will love it, till next time xoxo!

Summary: Gossip Girl
Comment: Having been a huge fan of the O.C. and of One Tree Hill I was impressed that directors managed to
make a series that didnt have the same story lines as others. While keeping the bitchy girls,
parties, fights, love stories etc etc this series provides a different kind of viewing using 'Gossip
girl' to provide news of scandals in Manhattans Elite.

A definate watch by all.

Summary: For anyone who loves Gossip xD
Comment: Having being a huge OC fan, i was really expecting this series to be yet another copy of it. And
yes, the characters in some way can be descibed as the characters in the OC were however to me,
these characters seem much more intruiging and having much more to them than a fancy purse.
I
really adore this show and couldn't wait for England to broadcast it over here therefore i watched
all episodes during it being aired in the US.
I have probably one main reason to watch this
show and that's the wonderful pairing of Chuck Bass & Blair Waldorf. The writers made a great job in
bringing these two together considering they aren't even paired in the books. For anyone who was a
big fan of Seth/Summer etc, you haven't seen anything yet.
Their chemistry is flawless
(especially after the 107 episode, you'll know what i mean) and their attraction to each other is
undeniable. Of course, the other couples during the show are great but people, you haven't seen love
yet until you see Chuck & Blair.
A definite MUST-HAVE for anyone who adores bitchy, glamorous
gossip.
you know you love IT

Summary: Must-see TV!
Comment: Gossip Girl is the new addictive TV show taking the place of The OC. Created by Josh Schwartz and
based on the popular bookseries by Cecily Von Ziegesar, (I highly recommend them for fans of this
show who havn't already read them!)every episode has scandal, fantastic music and the most amazing
wardrobe!
The casting is great, especially Leighton Meester and Blake Lively as Blair and
Serena. The actreeses playing Jenny and Vanessa are the exact opposites of the characters in the
books lookswise but that doesn't bother me as they are both good, especially Taylor Momsen (Jenny).
She is a brilliant actress and shines especially in the scenes where she steals Queen B's crown at
school.
Special mention has to go to the wardrobe department, the cast always look amazing and
the masquerade ball was stunning. The school uniform is so funky, I wonder if any high schoolers
actually dress like this!!
As with The OC, the music is very important on Gossip Girl and I
imagine soundtrack cds will come out eventually, in this first season we had songs by established
artists like Mika, One Republic and Timbaland aswell as new artists.
The season gets better
and better as it goes along buiklding to a great season finale, look out for Michelle Trachtenberg
in the final episodes playing Georgina Sparks, she truly messes up things for Serena and plays the
role perfectly.
I cannot understand why the US ratings for this show are fairly low, the show
and cast are really popular as shown at the recent Teen Choice Awards. I am eagerly awaiting the
second season and hope we get many more!!
