[Awkward Smile]

is it me? but I feel the R&B music doesn't really suit the show..haha

they played Angels and Airwaves too,
which made me laugh because my brother loves them and i've always called them a wuss band,
hence being on a show like gossip girl.

[krazyxdreamer]

OMG LOVE THIS SHOW
man dan is so EFFING HOT!
the actor playing nate is really HOT in real life but on the show hes not that hot.

well cant wait for next week, i really hope this doesnt turn out like the oc. i loved the oc in the beginning but then it started to get boring and stupid.
love love this show already cant wait

[clauric]

haven't read the books so im not really complaining much..all i can sau is that DAAAAANNNN would be my fave hottie in this series..

[.moony.]

dan...the guy who likes serena?? i thought he looks ugly -.-
serena is so old...man i keep thinkin shes a 30 yo lady...

[cannedpeaches]

blake lively doesn't look good in this show....she looked a lot better in sisterhood of the travelling pants.

penn badgley is so damn hot. he kind of reminds me of james franco

[Soy]

umm well. i have the biggest bias against this tv show, but still, its so off from the book. jenny is like the complete opposite, and was it just me or was there a little bit too much interaction between her and dan, i was like .. awkward the whole time. i hate how teh parents have such bigger roles than in the book, its suppose to be like these kids are living in Manhattan and ruling the place, not their parents and their limitations. i don't think the series does the book any justice. i thought the pilot wasn't even that good, sex, drugs, and etc, it just wasn't that entertaining to me. i love how they completely screwed the book over, in the book nate and chuck aren't even friends, and in the book chuck is well, its hard to tell if hes gay or straight, but hes like hitting on every girl in the pilot. so ironic.

[Echoe]

I'm almost done with the pilot, and overall, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt that it'll have plenty of room for improvement.

Gorgeous cast, gorgeous setting, (I'm a New Yorker, so it was great seeing an actual New York location, I was getting tired of the 'Friends' and 'Will and Grace' backdrops in other shows), but the acting was luke. And some of the lines were sooooo cheesy. I mean, really. High schoolers do not talk like that, no matter how wealthy of a socialite they are.

Blah. I have episode 2 to judge.

And Serena's isn't pretty, but she has a mysterious aura and charm about her. I like that. =)

And of course, I'm a Penn Badgley fan. There's something so sexy about his look. Nate has nice eyes, but he's...meh. Haha.

[bigfatPANDA]

watching the pilot, i was a bit disappointed.
of course, the book is usally better than the show/movie, and it's true once again.
and the casting is a bit weird, considering taht they're supposed to be high schoolers but look really old.
AND JENNY IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE DOUBLE D'S. that's why Chuck hits on her. blahh. haha. i want her to have double d's jeeez. XD
and where is the older brother of serena? i'm sad that there was a kid instead of some hot older guy.
dan should also be more emooo. with emo hair and stuff. well, that's how i want him to be. XD
Nate turned out not so hot ):
the acting so far.. isn't that great. but i'm interested.
and i hate how super rushed the pilot was. i think the sex scene came up a little too fast and a little too unexplained. personally you would have to have read the book to enjoy this series more. XD so i don't' know how the viewers who haven't read the book will take it~~

[classychic]

^that was what i was thinking too with jen, she didn't look like she had a double d size.
i hope they didn't completely screw the book and they do better on the next episodes.

[yoh]

For some reason, I've always had a problem with WB shows (well, now CW), especially the latest ones that come out. The previews are always very interesting and I guess, it hypes you up to want to watch it, but then it flops. Like The Bedford Diaries that starred Milo Ventimiglia. It was really eye-catching and everything but then it flopped. And I'm hoping that Gossip Girls will last too but so far, there's no "it" factor. By "it" factor, I mean something that just instantly makes you want to eagerly wait for the next episode (for me: Ugly Betty, House, Heroes, The Office, Prison Break, Grey's Anatomy - and I really don't like Grey's Anatomy). THIS IS JUST MY OPINION SO PLEASE DON'T BASH!

And I agree with a few that said that Serena looks a bit old. I thought she looked a lot younger in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Weird.

[losborrachos]

people, can we please stop whining about how different it is from the books and start focusing on the series itself?? the truth is no adaptation can be 100% true to the original source and still be good, otherwise what's the point of an adaptation? there's probably 10 writers working on the script and at this point, there's really nothing we can do... frankly i'm tired of reading "jenny needs to have a double d" or "why are the parents in this?" and if we don't stop this now, it's gonna happen every single episode (e.g. "blair's supposed to wear an oscar de la renta suit" or "the book says dan takes a breath there")

[chula]

i liked it. i've never read the books as a kid so i didn't have any high expectations from the series.
i didn't know Serena was the girl from Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants.
she kinda looks like a young cate blanchett here in GG.

the pilot didn't do so well ...

Over at the CW was the season-premiere of its crown jewel, America’s Next Top Model, at a healthy 5.15 million viewers (#4) and a 2.5/ 8 among adults 18-49 (#3t) from 8-9 p.m. One year earlier (the CW’s first official night), was the two-hour season opener of Top Model at a very similar 5.26 million viewers and a 2.6/ 7 in the demo. But disappointing for the CW was the premiere of lead-out Gossip Girl (a Mr. TV pick) at a last-place 3.65 million viewers and a 1.7/ 4 among adults 18-49 from 9-10 p.m. Comparably, that put retention for Gossip Girl out of Top Model at just 71 percent in total viewers and 68 percent among adults 18-49.

i never read the book, but after watching the first episode, i'd say it was okay. There were some parts that were quite a bore...and kinda cheesy. I'm not feeling Serena's character on how the way she acts...like it isn't convincing or something *shrugs*. But i have to say she is pretty cute.

I'll be looking forward for the second episode, hopefully it'll make me like it hehe.


but dang that narrator voice irks me so much....gahhh....what can we do lol

[nGk2M]

alrighty i recorded on wedneday night and i finally watched it today
i never read any of the books so i thought the first episode was pretty good
but all i can say is dan is hot!
reading all your comments..i wanna go read the books now

wow i just looked up penn badgley on google

Attended Charles Wright Academy in Tacoma, Washington.

that's a private school like 2 minutes driving distance from my house!! that's frickin crazy..
i used to run down there to run laps on their track ><

[latina]

i just finished watching it.. i actually love it!!!!! i havent read the book tho' so i can't compare which is better.

anyway, i'm so in love with dan humphrey. he reminds me of alex karev from grey's anatomy.

i can't wait to watch next week's episode.

[ohchells]

.
and i hate how super rushed the pilot was. i think the sex scene came up a little too fast and a little too unexplained. personally you would have to have read the book to enjoy this series more. XD so i don't' know how the viewers who haven't read the book will take it~~

Definitely. I thought it was too rushed. My neighbors that watched were like "Why did Serena sleep with her friend's boyfriend?" I didn't read the book so I just guessed she was either drunk or the drugs got to her.

people, can we please stop whining about how different it is from the books and start focusing on the series itself?? the truth is no adaptation can be 100% true to the original source and still be good, otherwise what's the point of an adaptation? there's probably 10 writers working on the script and at this point, there's really nothing we can do... frankly i'm tired of reading "jenny needs to have a double d" or "why are the parents in this?" and if we don't stop this now, it's gonna happen every single episode (e.g. "blair's supposed to wear an oscar de la renta suit" or "the book says dan takes a breath there")

Agreed. I'm very tired with the complaints. It's never going to be perfect like how the book described them. I'm sure there was a reason why Jenny doesn't have double D's in the series. It's just the first episode, we can't really judge anything yet until we see more of the series. So watch it with an open mind, not closed and be like "but they missed this from the book!" or whatever.

[deeta]

I never read the book, but the premiere actually held my interest long enough for me to promise to stick around, till it gets annoying, of course.

I guess in terms, of plot, it's not different than many of the other teen dramas out there. I find it so much alike to Popular, The OC (well, duh), or Clueless. Personally, I LOVE Blake Lively here. She's the ultimate ideal IT girl, hugely popular, amazingly pretty, rich, but still so nice to other people. But I'm gonna have to agree that she does look older, and it doesn't help that she's a tall girl, which somehow translates into maturity. Random, but that's how it is. Dan, I LOOOOVE Dan. Tho our tastes differ, it's just confusing to me if you say he's ugly, cause he's very good looking. Certainly not the good looking kind of what's his face Blaire's boyfriend (which I found is too 90s, thus boring), but he's the odd one, and the odd one is usually much more interesting. Am definitely rooting for Serena and Dan.

The first episode kinda made me want to read the series. Hopefully, soon.

[hellobaby.]

im so EXCITED forthis :]
i have to say, i think Dan is really hot. and chuck. and nate.
AHHAHA.
can anyone UP this noncb?
the cw site is lagging wayy much.
hah.
