The DVR Files: Gossip Girl
As the new fall TV shows start their seasons, I will probably devote a blog post here and there about the ones I begin to watch. I always have a heavy roster at the beginning of the season, because using a DVR can help you juggle quite a load. By the middle of the season, fully half the shows will have dropped off my watch list. Nearing the end, it’s anybody’s guess.
I have high hopes for the fall. In fact, this season marks the first time ever I will be giving shows from The CW, of from its two old merged networks. Nothing thus far has ever appealed to me. This time around I am giving both Reaper and Gossip Girl on The CW a try.
Now, Gossip Girl mostly intrigues me due to the fact that a blog pretty much plays a character in the show. Well, more specifically a blogger, but she remains all but hidden. So, the blog is the real star in my eyes. As a blogger, I know the absolute power that blogs have to start and to perpetuate gossip. News (and gossip) spread like virtual wildfire when it comes to the blogging community. The mainstream media even goes to the extent of quoting “The Blogging Community” or “Bloggers” as some collective entity in hard news items. It’s mind boggling.
Gossip Girl premiers Wednesday, September 19 on CW. It follows several characters from NYC Upper East Side prep schools – basically, young, spoiled socialites with over-the-top privilege and opportunity.
It’s narrated by the all-knowing “Gossip Girl”, a blogger who dishes all the dirt on these particular people. She stirs the proverbial pot and all the while we are kept guessing as to her real identity.
Sounds intriguing. I’ll be giving this one a spot on my DVR. We shall see how long it lasts.
And I will follow your posts to see if I’m interested in downloading it!
At the moment, I can’t imagine that I would be, but then I could NEVER imagine I’d get sucked into Veronica Mars for like 10 episodes, either.
Amazing its survived a few season and the new season is pretty crazy! People love this show for the simple fact that people love to peek into the lifes and lifestyles of the young and rich. That I believe will never get old. It will never be another 90210 however.
