You know you love it....xoxo I bought it in pre-order the day it become available for it on amazon. I loooove the show and now you'll be able to watch over and over again your favorite scenes. BUT the only think that prevent me for giving a 5 star product is, the box, I really don't like it, every show I've bought so far has come in a a pretty artistic and sleek design box. I expected the same from GOSSIP GIRL, but the DVD box is just like a "Deluxe 5 disc edition movie" you know, the ones that brings the DVD stacked and all. BUT if you love them like I do WHO CARES? Buy it enjoy it, xoxo
Just plain FUN! ;] This show is the ultimate guilty pleasure. Once you start watching it, you'll be sucked in. I love it because it is over the top, sexy, witty and just plain entertaining. There is nothing wrong with that and I enjoy it.
The DVD is great, with nice bonus features for hardcore fans.
Gossip Girl is like crack. And I'm an addict! Hello. My name is Laurie. I'm 22 years-old. And I am...addicted to Gossip Girl. There. I said it.
I had read the Gossip Girl books back when they first came out. And I liked them. I never did end up finishing the series. So when I heard they were creating a TV show based on the books I was mildly interested. But I actually didn't end up watching it due to my own gripes with the CW network.
But I ended up catching the end of an episode posted on youtube (Victor Victrola) and was instantly intrigued. So I watched the previous episodes online. It moved a little slow at first, but it soon picked up. And by the time the next episode aired on TV, I was hooked!
Let me just say that this show is NOT anymore scandalous/provocative than other TV shows! That's all hype that the CW lets build in order to create buzz around the show. So all these parental boards freaking out need to chill. You're kids have probably already seen worse- hate to break it to you.
Yeah the show can be silly and dramatized. That's half the fun! And its nice to escape my boring everyday life for an hour and get caught up in it! In my opinion, it blows the novels right out of the water!
Another thing I like about the show is the cast. They always seem to be down to earth and cool in real life, and I think they do a great job with the material they're given. Its very and easy for some of the story lines to become cheesy and redundant (given its technically a TEEN drama), but they always seem to pull it off and make it seem believable.
My only con of the DVDs is that there is no cast commentary of an episode. I think that would have been a good feature to have! The bloopers, however, are pretty hilarious.
There's a reason there's so much buzz about the show with young and older audiences alike. And that is because it truly is an addicting show. And every week you find yourself more buried in it than the week before. Its a vicious cycle really...
I definitely recommend it. Season 2 starts September 1st on the CW and I've never been so happy to see summer end! I know its gonna be good.
You know you love it.
I love this show...and I'm over 20. I heart this show so much. It's complex and well written...and pretty. The clothes are amazing and it goes by quickly because they never stay too long on any character. I don't think it's meant to be very deep but I'm guessing you'll be surprised how much these "shallow" characters actually get to grow on you. At times, I felt they were taking my heart out and squeezing it. It may seem like just a teen show...but it's actually very entertaining. Don't expect to learn anything, but that's the fun. It's sparkly and sexy, and may just rot your brain...but completely worth it!
I feel like if I ever met Ed or Chace, I may not be able to control myself. Watch and you'll see what I mean.
Spotted: X & O for Gossip Girl Finally, a teen drama which scores with its take and spin on the absurd and stupid genre. Everyone knows that this style of drama is far fetched, highly unbelievable, and utterly pathetic when placed in such serious contexts with moral issues. But Josh Schwartz, the creator of Gossip Girl, is turning the show into a "close sister" to his original work: The OC. And his work is the complete opposite of portraying ridiculous incidents for teenagers and their disfunctional parents to take part in such serious manners. Gossip Girl takes a refreshing approach to the teen drama genre with humor, heartfelt moments, self parodies, and not trying to make everything so serious with attempted "landmarks." It is because of these traits, that keeps Gossip Girl so interesting and enjoyable to watch. Its viewers know that teen dramas are stupid, its creators know that the genre is stupid, and so they all have fun making it stupid and fun to watch. Nothing more is needed. Making such a genre serious raises the absurdity of a such a show to extreme levels and enjoyment is lost. Josh Schwartz has learned this with his previous work. The OC fans know that ratings on the show tanked during the second and third season due to the attempts for serious writing and loosing the humorous parody of the teen drama. Now if only Schwartz and his team keep that factor in mind and don't do the same thing for the second and third year of Gossip Girl, this series will continue to be a delightful viewing pleasure with great fun. Keep Gossip Girl funny, its what made The OC so unique and successful, and its lack of existence is what makes Gossip Girl's competition (and once The OC's competition): One Tree Hill SUCK!
