An Open Letter Re: Gossip Girl

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

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:)

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.
