two words: WATCH IT. it is full of american trash and if you're feeling down or bored turn on GG and your life will suddenly feel so much better!

Gossip Girl- A must have!
For those of you who haven't added this box set to your girly collection do it now! I bought this on a whim when i saw it whilst shopping as i'd heard it get good reviews, so i am spreading the good news.

In order to get into the stories and characters you need to watch the first episode carefully, there are what seems afew too many characters to keep up with at first but persevere as you begin to love or hate them all in no time! With a hot cast to keep any girl/ guy interested what more could you ask for! It's teamed full of scandal that will have you cringing, emotional times that you can relate to and an unbelieveable sense of style and fashion that makes us all wish for our own stylist! This truely is an amazing dvd and will have you wishing life away until the second season is released! Go get it!

This Season is Awesome!!
Well, if its not the producer from The O.C.

This show is great, like a new york version of The O.C.

Although i love the actors, the music, and the storys.

Its a really "Must Have" Dvd..

I bought the dvd and it has a bunch of special features.

For now im following the second season, and its been great.

Regards, Miguel K.

YA..YOU KNOW WE LOVE YOU!!xo xo Gossip Girl's fan ;-P)

Hi there, I'm old enough to remember Beverly Hills 90210,(to whom GG has been compared) and for me, it has never been such a fuzz...and by the way to tell the truth,I've never been too anxious to watch the whole series! However in years I've enjoyed many US series from an an euro perspective (cause I'm italian): Dawson's Creek and One Tree Hill for the american idea of the posse of the good old friends, and the updated kind of "coming-to-an age" stories like...

But even most, the shows based on a prevoius strong idea, usually sprung from a book, that in my opinion gives to it that "something" more to help it to become special: in this list for example there are Roswell, and especially Sex and the City! I think Gossip Girl is a sort of spin-off from SATC (with a glimpse from "The Devil wears Prada"too..), the flair of NY city everywhere, especially in the real locations, besides the glamour of fashion all over it, that really is an ispiration for trendsetters and common people everywhere..even the character of Chuck Bass reminds me of Mr Big in his unforgettable luxury black limo..and plus the character of Blair Waldorf,a modern fashion icon who literally dreams in lots of scenes of being Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday or especially Breakfast at Tiffany,of course..if you connect it to the pop-colour style of Sofia Coppola's film "Marie Antoinette", or to a mock of the Great Gatsby and the cliches of top models' world..basically you have it!

By the way it works,that's the good news, because all in all it demonstrates to have a unique way of presenting the story, trhought the voyeristic eye of the omniscent character of the invisible Gossip Girl (who knows if in the end we will know who's behind the mask...), plus tons of witty humour and hot scenes to light the show,and well rounded protagonists to glue people to watch it like...forever! ;-D)

My favourite is the couple of the funny "ex-villain" Chuck and the "fake princess" Blair, they have so much chemestry and tongue-in-the chick kind of dialogues together (it resambles a bit the couple of Seth and Summer from The O.C.: as a matter of fact it comes from one of the producer of GG too), that's a pleasure to follow their story arc..and for the rest, there is also the curiosity to see, like the characters of the two "Cinderella"-brothers from Brooklin, what's the rich city looks like, behind the curtain...so fasten your seat-belt and enjoy this funny and bumpy ride (you can get enough!!) Bye bye***

visually sumptuous and perversely entertaining
If you like a cocktail of expensive clothes and cars and fancy houses and endless partying and strife and human suffering mixed with humour, you'll enjoy Gossip Girl.Are rich teenage kids this bad? What makes this negative look on human relations palatable is the sumptuous beauty of everything you see - from the fine buildings of manhattan to the gorgeous outfits worn by Blair and the other girls.This is a tv series with a problem - remove Blair's character and the whole thing would be drab.She's the classiest, nastiest pretty girl since Joan Collins in Dynasty twenty years ago, and the centre of gravity of this whole damnable edifice.The first four episodes are pretty lame but stick with it, the episodes that follow are much better.I've heard some people say the OC was better but the OC was different because this is more about the competitive nature of rich families and their children than the story of a poor kid in one rich woman's world.Christina Ricci reads the actual book the tv series was based on for two hours in the bonus features.It is unsubtle listening to say the least.Other bonus features include a look at the clothes used in Gossip Girl and a couple of music videos which I think most people will not enjoy.
