Well, it seems that some media is practically deifying Gossip Girl for ways that only seem oblivious. Gossip Girl is produced in New York and it will be subsidized by New York for as long as possible. It’s a great advertisement for that city regardless if it sucks at attracting viewership. Case in point: The current People magazine in which the most beautiful people are photographed. There’s the gang from GG, propped up on a bed looking glamourous and all, while the girls from The Hills get a half page, showing pictures of them directly after they get up in the morning, brushing their teeth and drinking coffee. Hardly glamourous at all but which group comes off unnatural and almost desperate in their pictorial and which one comes off casual and real? Even given the short shrift from ‘People’, The Hills Girls come out winners! I can’t even imagine the kids from GG having actual personalities. When someone wants to get out of town for some soul searching on The Hills, she drives her car. When the same thing happens on Gossip Girl, she’s at the heliport! Poseur…

Hi there,

I’m from Singapore and I’m a huge fan of Gossip Girl. In defense of the show, I’d like to share with you some of my findings on social networking websites like Facebook and Friendster.

On Facebook, there are dozens of groups catered to GG and The Hills, and as I’m typing this out, the largest Gossip Girl group has 7181 members while the largest group for The Hills has 1535.

It’s a bit harder for Friendster as search results for ‘The Hills’ tend to include ‘One Tree Hill’, ‘King of the Hill’, etc. But I did try ‘GossipGirl’ and ‘TheHills’ and it turns out that 61 Americans listed GG under their Favorite TV Shows vis-a-vis 33 for The Hills.

In my country alone, 1281 people wrote Gossip Girl as one of their favorite shows, the highest among the 2007-08 slate of shows, and mind you, no TV station in my country has yet to air it.

Yes I admit that these numbers aren’t a hundred percent accurate but you have to agree that it does give you an idea of the size of a show’s fan base and popularity.

LOL all my favorite shows have low number and get canceled. Just because I show gets better ratings, doesn’t mean its a better quality show. It just means its being watched more…for whatever reason. There’s no accounting for taste with the ratings system. lol

Here’s the W18-34 breakdown:

Gossip Girl: 2.9/8
One Tree Hill: 3.3/8
The Hills: 6.3/16

I believe that truly is pwnage.

Well to each his own because I accidently put on The Hills today (home sick) and it was awful. But I’m not a fan of that type of show so that could be part of the reason. Gossip Girl is a kind of guilty pleasure for me. I could live without it, and if it went away, there’d be no letter writing or tears, but if its on and I remember, I’ll turn it on. If the Hills is on, I’ll turn it off. LOL.

I dont always have mainstream taste though since half the shows I love have been canceled.
