This show is said to be mind-blowingly inappropriate by the parents television council. Gossip girl, is merely about the lives of a bunch of Upper East Side teens and their parents. Taking place in New York City, capturing their past present and future affairs. The teasers pull you in with erotic commercials, and show it’s self is packed with sex, drugs and drama, along with heartache and everyone’s dirty secrets. The show leaves you hanging with mystery and suspense, and you’re never too sure who to trust.
It’s the life some wish we had, where money is endless and you fight the fight till you’ve won the battle. The fans become attached to the characters and can pick certain qualities, characteristics and situations where they can best relate. And Sadly, I am guilty as charged. I’ve been sucked into the fairytale hell land where I dream what life would be like if I were the glamorous Serena Vanderwoodsen or the cunning spoiled Blair Waldorf, even the young daring Jenny Humphrey… I have found a way where my life parallels each of theirs. Where I’ve sat there and watched the show and been able to say, “yep I’ve been there” and then it’s interesting to see how they handle it differently than I would in my own life. But in the end I must admit, Gossip Girl is not a positive influence on my life. But I am addicted, I can’t quit.
The music used during the show is the perfect ingredient, pulling the emotions to another level, helping end the mood and tone of the scene. They use new artists and help them get hooked in people’s heads. I think that’s one thing gossip girl has done to help others. They choose perfect songs and then have them ready for you to buy on the CW website. So in a way the show can’t be all-bad, they’re helping new artists get a start. Only if you look at the other end of the teeter-totter… it’s not really balancing out. I guess if you look at the show as a display of what not to do… it’d be acceptable yet the show glamorizes it all and makes you lust over the lives they live. Because I refuse to watch old episodes I will not have my Gossip Girl fix for weeks, I will be on my toes for a month trying to predict what is going to happen I can’t imagine how the withdrawal is going to go over. I’m pretty sure my mind can’t cope with the loss of risqué drama.

Although every time I watch this show, I would criticize every single scene talking about how they dont look like high school students, nobody acts like that in real life and how the show is just so unrealistic in real life, I absolutely love this show.
