Friday, May 30th, 2008Wunderkind Josh Schwartz really took television by storm this season with his sudsy primetime drama about Manhattan’s upper crust, Gossip Girl. Oft compared to Schwartz’s other teen soap, The O.C., Gossip Girl outshines its Californian predecessor in so many ways, mainly on the strength of its highly talented supporting cast. But what makes [...]
Playing Matchmaker for ‘Gossip Girl’
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008Gossip Girl ended its glorious first season last night with a whirlwind episode that felt like it had at least three episodes’ worth of material jam-packed into one short hour. Last night’s finale brought everything I love about Gossip Girl – revenge, fisticuffs, and snappy one-liners in spades. Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg) finally [...]

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008The CW announced its fall schedule today and it features all good-looking people. I suppose one could make the argument that all television features good-looking people, but not to the extreme extent that the CW has taken it. You see, most of the CW’s Fall schedule not only features good-looking people, the series themselves are [...]
Gossip Girl: “I’m Chuck Bass”
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008Although I thought that the big reveal on last night’s Gossip Girl about Serena’s dirty little secret was a tremendous letdown, I’m not going to let that interfere with my enjoyment of the episode. There were so many other amazing parts about the episode that I’m willing to overlook the lameness of Serena’s secret [...]
Gossip Girl: Episode 17 “Woman on the Verge” Recap
Monday, May 12th, 2008Last week’s episode of Gossip Girl was so wonderfully awesome that it nearly caused my little scandal-loving heart to burst. Eric came out of the closet in front of all of his peers after he was caught making out with Jenny’s scummy boyfriend, Asher.

Gossip Girl: Gay Bombs and Murder
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Wow. I don’t even know where to begin. Last night’s episode of Gossip Girl, "All About My Brother," was amazingly perfect in so many ways. There were enough scandals, lies, public outings, reconciliations and confessions that would have filled an entire season’s worth of episodes on a lesser show.
