I hope the show is just as good. There are some differences from the books, as to be expected, but over all the show promises to have a good take off but I'll be interested to see if it can last more than 2 seasons.

It can be a drinking game -- how long until he corners a girl and mauls her in THIS episode? One shot if in the first 15 minutes, two in the middle 30, and three if he waits until the last act! Also, Penn Badgley is hot and I am shallow. That's pretty much all it takes for me to watch a teen drama, anyway.

Having been a huge fan of the latter for years and having read the first two of the GG novels I don't quite get that. Other than that they are also "rich kids with problems" as you mentioned I don't see much of a similarity. I haven't watched the pilot yet and, of course, don't know what exactly they did with the characters. But judging from the books I can't see anyone who's like Seth, Ryan, Summer or (God forbid) Marissa. That the show won't be the complete opposite of "The O.C." is apparent considering the showrunners are the same and it's a similar premise. So, I don't think that's all too surprising ;-). Was the pilot at least any interesting besides your obvious dislike for "rich kids with problems"? *g* I would really like to know in how far you would compare the characters of “Gossip Girl” to those in the O.C.

With the cancellation of VM, the CW gave their stance on quality television. I, for one, am done with them and hope that those of a like mind will also leave them behind. For now, four networks will be enough - at least they have all I need (plus a few cable networks with some great little shows).

From the previews and descriptions I've seen, it seems similar to The OC in that it's about wealthy high school students, but they've come across as very unlikable to me. Maybe I need to see more of the show. The one thing The OC did is that it made you care about characters like Summer, Seth, and Ryan, along with the adults.

So much though that if I were in charge, I might consider a recast. Not to say Kristen Bell doesn't have a great voice, it's just depressing knowing that this is what she'll be doing instead of a fourth season of VERONICA MARS.
