Comments on: Is Mad Men the Gossip Girl for Adults? http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/07/31/is-mad-men-the-gossip-girl-for-adults/4572 Nielsen TV Show Ratings, Data and More Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:24:38 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: AndrĂ© http://tvbythenumbers.com/2008/07/31/is-mad-men-the-gossip-girl-for-adults/4572#comment-21910 AndrĂ© Sun, 07 Sep 2008 05:53:52 +0000 http://tvbythenumbers.com/?p=4572#comment-21910 Exactly harris43. I'm 17 year old and almost every single girl in my grade is completely obsessed with the show. Plus, magazines don't put people on their cover based on the buzz. I mean, of course they do, but if the person does not have selling power, they won't be featured at the cover and that's it. But Gossip Girl stars were on Nylon, Seventeen, Cosmogirl, Entertainment Weekly, Lucky, Teen Vogue and even Vanity Fair (Blake Lively) so OBVIOUSLY there are REAL people out there watching the show and craving to know more about the cast.

Pretty much every other girl on my floor who owned a tv, and girls without tv's who huddled around those of their friends', sat glued to the screen. My room was one of these. My roommate was NEVER in my room, except on GG nights, along with some of her friends. This was not only my floor, but ALL of the other floors I so happened to visit at that time. GG was gospel, and college girls were the faithful disciples.<br><br>So, I understand what everyone is saying about the ratings. The CW has no excuse for consistently ranking beneath cable stations, but from my own personal experience, something has to be going wrong for them. From what I see, a LOT of people love gossip girl...real people...not hype from a company. It's not just my school either, I've heard identical stories from my friends at different schools. Maybe the fact that I live on the east coast with NY wannabees has something to do with it, and maybe we're (yes, I watched the entire season online illegally this summer...it was actually very entertaining) the only ones watching it, but Nielsen isn't always right in its methods or calculations, so give the CW a break. please? lol I never watched Gossip Girl while it aired on TV, but i swear on everything I own (I'm in college, and live in a dorm) that everything shut down on the nights Gossip Girl came on.
