Now, I feel like I must be completely honest. I am not against watching, and making the occasional smart ass comment about, teen dramas. Hey, I've watched my fair share of Degrassi (Canada's finest export) and One Tree Hill. Any girl who tells you they haven't watched teen dramas at one point in their life is hiding something.
The CW's Monday night line-up starts with Gossip Girl.
I've never seen this show before but I hear that people are all about it. Oh my effing God is an understatement. This show is ridiculous! Ria tried to warn me. "You're going to feel really bad about watching this." Well if that wasn't the understatement of the century. The blonde one likes the brunette guy who is brooding in an elevator and the other brunette one likes the brunette chick who is hooking up with a British guy and they all make out with each other and someone works in fashion. Check this out though, these people:
These people here are supposed to be SIXTEEN. As in 1-6. Good Christ the CW doesn't even care does it? They pluck any random hot actor from the street and call it a day. I frown upon that only because that isn't my job. But really, sixteen? Maybe the one in the blue dress but Chace Crawford over on the left has got to be at least 30.
Anywhoosie, everything you think happens on Gossip Girl happens. The plot lines are completely predictable and cheesy, but hot damn, is it entertaining. I am going to do my best to resist watching next week, but no promises.
We also watched this gem:
There was a funeral, kidnapping schemes, cougars and their young boys, basketball and everything you've come to expect (or not expect) from the OTH. I'm not even going to play, I don't have an answer as to why I still watch this. Oh wait, yes I do.
Kidnapee to Kidnapper, trying to get into the kidnapper's head: Why don't you have kids? You're young, attractive and crazy as a craphouse rat.
Voiceover during the funeral scene: Grief is like the ocean, it's deep and dark.
You know what else is deep and dark? The hole where my brain used to be.
Thanks Ria for sharing in my love of bad TV and making the best spaghetti sauce I've ever tasted.
YES! I'm so glad someone else who's normal has now been sucked into this show! I tried to resist but the people are so damn pretty I can't stop watching. It's like a good looking, fashionable, dirty car wreck. I love it.
ReplyDeleteA hot, dirty, confusing car wreck. But one that I keep driving by again and again because I can't stop. I'm not even that sorry!
