oh sure, pick on GG…but lets keep in mind, the CW is a new network with plenty of crappy shows, and Gossip Girl is one of its few diamonds in the rough. ABC Family is an established, known network…just saying…

Is that the reason why a CW show has never reached The Top 20 in ratings?

Gossip Girl, along with the CW, is all Buzz and no ratings.

They claim and clammer about their shows, but no one watches them. And as long as they have niche viewer demographics, they will continue to charge small fees for commercial spots.

Time for the CW to end, have CBS take complete control and call it CBS.2

Are the CW shows being fairly measured?
