Gossip Girl premiered yesterday and it was.... okay. I like wonderful, great, fantastic, but all I got was, meh and from the looks of critics and viewers, many were disappointed.
New York Daily News - Cristina Kinon 88/100While it remains to be seen if Gossip Girl will take the plot plunge "The O.C." did after its first season, the beginning here is encouraging
Los Angeles Times - Mary McNamara 80/100Gossip Girl is eye candy, and mind candy, as pretty as a perfectly prepared martini--one that some nasty, picture-perfect have-it-all may or may not have drugged.
The New York Times - Alessandra Stanley 70/100It's a sleek, glossy, musically enhanced soap opera centered on wealthy, gorgeous high school students who connive and cavort to the sound of Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Peter Bjorn and John, Angels & Airwaves, and Timbaland.
Variety - Brian Lowry 60/100Gossip Girl hardly breaks any new ground.
New York Magazine - John Leonard 30/100I don’t care whether Serena (Blake Lively) and Blair (Leighton Meester) can ever be best friends again after what happened with Blair’s boyfriend before Serena ran off to boarding school is not just because I’m an old fart.
Chicago Tribune - Maureen Ryan 30/100But it's not just that the Gossip Girl cast lacks chemistry. Among these characters and threaded through these predictable, thin stories, there's precious little of anything that approaches sweetness, kindness, altruism or heart.
Chicago Sun-Times - Doug Elfman 25/100It's one of the worst new series--but for its cardboard acting and writing, not for the morals.
Harsh right? Gossip Girl started out as a phenomenal show, but the seasons after are treading towards cancellation. It would break my heart to such outcome, but it give me a chance for my OWN tv series to take their spot, just saying. XOXO

**UPDATE**
Not only was the premiere of Gossip Girl was a drag, but the ratings were terrible. Word from Perez says the show's ratings were down 36%. down from season 1 or season 2 (Give me a break readers I'm at school). Well, from the look of things, GG might be on it's way to extinction.
