I’m surprised Gossip Girl is considered one of the least talked about show. I watched the first two episodes and the series looks very promising. The cast members are all gorgeous paired with a juicy storyline. People will get sucked right in once they watch a episode.

How is Reaper responsible for cancelling Veronica Mars? It’s filling in the hole after CW cancelled it due to poor ratings. Not the cause of VM’s demise. You’d think that a “TV Addict” would understand that it’s how the process works.

About Gossip Girl the idea of it isn’t like being ripped off from the OC, it is actually on the book series, “Gossip Girl”. It’s a really popular Young Adult/teen series.

I might watch Gossip Girl — I haven’t really looked at the grid yet, but I am shopping for my viewing on Wed. I dunno if Reaper can pull me away from the Unit on Tuesdays. Probably not. With the impending demise of VM, I will have a DVR timeslot open — but CHUCK looks interesting too. And, I’m having a hard time imagining Kevin Smith humor w/out the R rating and just thinking its not going to be funny.

I watched both screeners last night.
Aliens in America is awesome! Freaks and Geeks meets The Wonder Years. Better than the clips suggest. The only reason why this show won’t succeed is because it’s too good.

Gossip Girl was again, way better than the clips suggested. It’s definitely an OC/Cruel Intentions ripoff. However, and perhaps it’s because I grew up hanging out with those folk, I found it really enjoyable in a guilty pleasure sort of way. Blake Lively who was in Sisterhood of Traveling Pants, does a nice job. Leighton Meester plays the upper east side version of Summer. And there’s the token geek boy who’s into really good music, totally shy, and yet underneath it all, really hot. (remind you of anyone?) The production values were great as was the soundtrack, (vintage Schwartz). It’s definitely got a fighting chance. Like the aughts version of Less Than Zero.

I’ll admit that REAPER sounds interesting – but why in the world did they name the main character of a show about hunting/capturing demons “Sam,” when they’ve already got a show about a Sam that does the same thing? Do they *want* to confuse people? It’s the cute!dean/hot!dean mess all over again…

Between the reviews of ALIENS IN AMERICA from you and Ausiello, I’m actually looking forward to the show. Still wondering why it took over a year to finally get it on the air? Same with Hidden Palms…which I still haven’t heard an answer to (is there a future for it, if it rocks?).

I agree with Jim! I think the CW is rude naming a show with the initials of “GG” right after they end Gilmore Girls….THE ORIGINAL AND BEST “GG”!!!! The CW has disappointed me, almost as much as fox! HONESTLY…First Everwood (RIP!), then Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars, what next… Cancel supernatural for the third season of who wants to be a Pussy **** Doll? I love One tree hill and Smallvile but honestly they treat one tree hill like an ugly step chiled and smallvile is (according to the cast) only going to last one maybe 2 more seasons! … … …. .. . . . . . . . . . what is left on tv worth watching…….Scrubs, L&O SVU, Lost, The Unit and Family Guy? ….The 4400 and South Park? …thats it…I mean Las Vegas is getting ruined, Prison Break and 24 are going nowhere, and Futurama doesn’t premier on Comedy Central till 08′!!!! I dont know…I just don’t know! WoW that was a rant sorry bout that! lol but the name should change.

I have a friend over at the CW, and from the sounds of it and your write up this is definitely something I’ll be keeping an eye out for. Though I do think the name could use a tweaking.
