An Open Letter Re: Gossip Girl

Friday, May 2, 2008 / 2:51 PM

chuck.jpgDear New York City Bars,
Why don’t you show Gossip Girl on your screens?
I spent yesterday evening happily watching Lost in a silent bar full of revelers swigging their free shots every time someone suggested Jack might die – imagine the possibilities with GG.
Free shots each time Dan caresses Serena’s face? Or, every time Blair and Chuck exchange death stares? How about every time a bow appears?
See, I don’t have a TV, and it’s absolutely impossible to leave my house on a Tuesday morning and not know every detail of the previous night’s episode before 11 am. Forget the plot, I’m talking about the color of Chuck’s socks, the length of Serena’s hair, the brightness of Jenny’s shoes – people want to tell me everything.
Not to mention, it’s already been widely discussed that a lot of GG‘s viewers used to catch the show online – but now they’re not allowing that, so what are we supposed to do? Wait til Saturday, when we can already recite the plot by heart thanks to our annoying friends on AIM? I don’t think so.
In fact, Beauty Bar, if you’re listening, this would be perfect for you.
Thanks,
Fashionista

agreed

i love fashionista.
brilliant.

no fair! i wish there were LOST bar parties in tampa :(

Just a helpful hint…
I don’t have a tv either. I watch my gossip girl on youtube. It’s usually up by early tuesday morning.

Aren’t they playing Gossip Girl in gay bars or at least the Hills?

i also don’t have a TV, so i watch ALL my shows online. on the official network sites if they have it, and on the not so official ones when i can’t. for gossip girl, http://www.greatstufftv.com/gossip-girl/
TV fans are so hardcore, it’s usually online within hours of airing but definitely by the next morning. without commercials, it’s 40 or so min. long so you could easily get up early in the morning and watch if you wanted to…

are you serious? I may enjoy the guilty pleasure of watching it when I’m home, but I’d leave a place if they were playing it at a bar! I don’t want to go out with my 20-30 yr old friends and watch high school dramatic kids as they realize their life is over b/c Serena got a crude text message. It’s fun to watch but when I’m out with friends, I want to enjoy something that actually is either practical, political, sports (and i’m a very girly girl!) or a serial TV Show where the kids are actually old enough to legally drink and realize that there are bigger problems in the world. Again, I like the show! Just not what I want to see at my local pub:)

Uhh get a TV? It would make things a lot easier for you.

i think its hilarious that the cw thinks because they dont put it online, you must watch it on tv-im no techie, but a google search got me hundreds of websites to watch the lastest episodes on!!

Which bar plays LOST?

Hah! Love it. And yes, agreed. Would be fabulous to be able to watch GG at a bar. I’d be very surprised to see something like that though. On the other hand, I’d be surprised to see LOST being showed at a bar too, that’s odd to me.

what bar did u watch lost at!?

wheres this lost bar????

Seriously, what Lost bar is this! I must know for next week!

I’m not from NY, but is it common to not have a TV? Gheez … I’ve never heard such a thing in my life!

saw all of them at the gossip girl wrap party thursday night. it was on the UES at southern hospitality. confirmed my love for chuck bass, sexy and hilarious guy. penn and blake were very cute together. she is gorgeous.

please tell us which bar you watched Lost at!

i need to know where this bar is!
