Gossip Girl -- should I be watching?

[pugz]

the first two or three seasons were good, then it got terrible.

[Deleted]

I can't speak for it right now, but I stopped watching this season. It definitely lost its appeal with weird story lines (like Blair marrying a prince?) and I thought there were too many weird characters introduced.

This season could have improved, but I think I'm done for good.

[Deleted]

No reason for you to watch now.

I watch because I can't stop. LOL.

It lost its appeal with Dan's ridiculous hair this season. i think the first couple seasons are worth watching. I'm over it now.

I am like six episodes behind. It hasn't been great but I feel like I was already invested. I vote watch if you're really bored.

[jigsy]

I've started to watch on Netflix...I think I'm getting to where it took a dive...Season 4...but I will continue to watch because it is ridiculous and I think it's fun to have some ridiculousness in your life...plus, I think I might have a crush on Chuck Bass...what is wrong with me.

[carfar]

I watch on my train commute on ipad It's pretty predictable and ridiculous, but I've nothing better to do. If you have time go for it.

[audry80]

I am on Season 2 and loving it! I say YES! Now I am worried it gets bad....

[pugz]

I think it got bad when they graduated high school

[Deleted]

Isn't that the case with any show involving high school?

I would actually like to see if anyone can come up with an example to the contrary.

But I wish GG had done what the books did and keep them in high school forever and just have time move forward really slowly.

like baby sitters club, they never finished 8th grade

[pugz]

other high school shows I loved: Dawsons Creek & Gilmore Girls, they definitely declined after high school years, although Gilmore Girls wasn't as bad since so many of the characters were not high school students.

[basilosaurus]

Dan's hair is its own character, it's so awesomely bad.

No, no reason to watch. I still do, but that's b/c I have no taste.

[carfar]

Ps it pretty much goes like this

Serena- " omg I found out this crazy crazy secret.... But I can't tell "



Serena Boy of the moment "omg Serena is lying to me about something"

Blair " I'll totally help you scheme and find out whats going on" while wearing my headband and designer dress and heels EVERYWHERE

Nate "I found out the truth and
Going to let Gossip girl know"

Gossip girl blast releases Serena's secret ==

Nate " I didn't tell gossip girl"

Serena " you did, I hate you"


Truth is revealed in dramatic fashion at high end party/event with lots of booze, and probably bad catering

Nate didn't tell. It was Dan.


Dan - "it was me because I have a crazy secret, too"

Mix and match characters with different secrets and agendas and there is your formula. No need to watch, ywia.

Wait...Blair marries a prince? I must google this. I stopped watching after season 3.

Along with Dan's hair.


The Humphrey family has problems...don't even get me started on that rat's nest Jenny likes to call hair.

[Deleted]

Oooh! I was also equally obsessed with the books. And very distraught at the casting. (Vanessa? Really?)
But I watches the first three seasons and ended up loving it. I turned into a total Chuck/Blair fan.

I stopped watching when they went to college and Hillary Duff showed up.

Oh, and I am still upset that they left Chuck's monkey out of the show.

[Deleted]

Do the books follow the same story line, or just the same characters? It sounds like I may want to read them, but I don't want to if I'll just be repeating stuff I've already seen on TV

[jigsy]

Chuck had a monkey? Chuck so needs a monkey!

[Deleted]

I'd spank that monkey.

[ilikedonuts]

I've got the 2nd half of this half of this season to watch and I don't think I'm going to be able to get through it. Its SO bad.

[juris11]

I stopped watching this season on principle due to a certain couple pairing. (Won't spoil it in case) I have been informed that I can now start watching again, so I watched the season finale and will probably watch next season since it is the last. I also can't stop even though it really isn't that good anymore.

Umm, Buffy?! At least, that is my personal opinion. First season in college was awesome. Hush?!

But if you don't watch - How will you know how your Gossip Girl birchbox ties into the show?!
