Okay, I don't know who these people are or what on earth they're talking about, but apparently even adults watch Gossip Girl on the CW network. Hell, I still watch Smallville! So here's a clip from tomorrow's show.

Toledo.
Good God, I cannot wait for that, a Blair-Georgina bitchfight would more than make up for last week's disappointing revelations.
As much as I love Blair, though, I could happily watch for Chuck alone.
And I hope Rufus doesn't interrupt the wedding.
Pasty protagonists promote preppy poreless paths to popularity.
@VivianDarkbloom: Love the name, love Nabokov.
Oh i love this show! You made up for yesterday!
@ShoplifterOfTheWorld: Hey, The Smiths are like my favourite band.
Why is Serena walking funny during that cell phone clip? It seems like she's incapable of putting her legs too close together (aaaahahahaha, that didn't sound right, but I mean it in the more literal sense and not the dirty sense, ok?).
We watch out of a desparate attemt to reclaim the promiscousness of our youth. Or relive it. Your choice.
That would be attempt. I must reclaim my brain cells.
I'm glad you referenced adults watching this show. I'm willing to bet the audience for Gossip Girl is 26-34, not teenagers. Basically, it's all the people in their post-teen crisis age that want to know what the "cool kids" are doing. Their audience is basically the "media", which tries in vein to make this show relevant.
Did I mention my irrational hatred of this show?
@TwinkleThunder: Blake Lively can't walk in most high heels.
Ahh, the anticipation is killing me.
You know what would make great television? If Serena was actually pregnant with Chuck's baby, but Chuck was secretly gay, and ran off with Serena's little brother. Devastated by Serena cheating on him Dan would be all emo and go jump off a building. Then Serena would be so incredibly sad and guilty over Dan's death that she herself would jump off a building. Then Blair would poison Vanessa and at the funeral would steal Nate back. However secretly Vanessa wasn't dead and came back and had a cat fight with Blair over Nate. Then we would find out that Serena, Dan, Chuck, Serena's brother, and the baby have all ran off to the bahamas to live happily ever after. (Until the hurricane come that is)
But I'm sure whatever the writers came up with is interesting enough.
Ew, he brought the poor girl to the wedding? Ugh, Nate, just deny your richness and go live in a Wesleyan commune already.
Chuck Bass looks mighty good in a tuxedo (fans self). Oh good lord.
@Penscribe: No, that was Laguna Beach. None of these kids actually act anything remotely like teenagers and 1% of it is shot in a school.
Dude, get over it. This shit is awesome.
@gerbilsoutofexile (loves a good muumuu): Haha, well, the most promiscuous thing of my youth involved (as in <18) involved kissing this guy once in the middle of a classroom in front of my classmates (no teacher, though, I'm not stupid). I was such an innocent child, I get all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it.
@VivianDarkbloom: I hadn't really noticed it before, now I'm afraid I'll always be paying attention to it.
@hamburgerhotdog: One has to mingle with the little people once in a while to show we're not horrible human beings, dahling.
@TwinkleThunder: Sorry, I added an extra "involved" in there. Ignore it. I probably shouldn't post while hungover.
@VivianDarkbloom: I think it's b/c she's tall with an athletic build, so she probably never really wore heels before the show. The first thing I noticed about this clip (other than Chuck casually passing off that he was in love with Blair...glorious) was how funny she was walking through the park.
@hamburgerhotdog: Can we please not patronize our fellow adults by telling them to "get over" disliking this show? I don't want to watch the stupid rich CHILDREN being bitchy and fabulous, because it is simply not entertaining to me. It's all one big chain yank by a great PR machine cranking out endless supplies of pre-chewed It Boys and Girls for our consumption and eventual disposal.
Awesome is subjective and let's not pretend otherwise. Love it all you want, but this show is the complete opposite of my idea of awesome, and I don't want to waste my time with something that it's obvious every single one of you people will be mocking as "soooo lame" two years from now (or less).
Holy Toledo, Toledo!
Plus, I cannot believe I still watch Smallville, either. Gossip Girl is different, though, because it's really just The O.C. 2.0, which means it'll go from delicious to deliciously awful to just plain awful within the next year and a half.
@thecomicscomic: "it'll go from delicious to deliciously awful to just plain awful within the next year and a half."
Thank you. I believe my point is made.
@Hez: Well, if you don't like it, posting and bitching about how you don't like it just to ruin our fun isn't really accomplishing much, is it? Why waste your time and ours?
@hamburgerhotdog: I'm not trying to ruin your fun or get personal. My bitchiness was in response to the comment "get over it, it's awesome." I would have been just as annoyed by that comment if we'd been talking about some other thing I don't like.
I'm sure you won't let my opinions stop you from enjoying your show, just as I won't let yours influence me into watching it. That's all. (But I can't promise to stop wasting time on Gawker, because that's pretty much what it's here for.)
@TwinkleThunder: Sorry to hear that. But I spent my teen years in the late 70's, so maybe we were just sluttier then. It was all that Mary Jane we were smoking and Boone's Farm we were guzzling, I suppose.
@gerbilsoutofexile (loves a good muumuu): Don't be sorry, dear, I had a lot of fun in my youth (even if promiscuous sex wasn't included)...I miss the carelessness of those years. Certainly nothing to be sorry about.
@Hez: Sorry, I'm grumpy.
@hamburgerhotdog: N/P. We're good. I'm sure I could use a hamburgerhotdog or two on a nice day like today myself.
