Article

Gossip Girl is an American drama television series based on the book series of the same name written by Cecily von Ziegesar. The series was created by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, and premiered on The CW on September 19, 2007. On February 24, 2009 The CW renewed the show for a third season. Narrated by the omniscient yet unseen blogger "Gossip Girl", voiced by Kristen Bell, the series revolves around the lives of privileged teenagers attending an elite private school in New York City's Upper East Side.

The series begins with the return of Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) from a mysterious stay at a boarding school in Connecticut. Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), who creators describe as the queen at the center of their chess game, is a longtime friend and occasional rival of Serena's, and the Queen Bee of Manhattan's social scene. The story also follows Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick), the resident bad boy of the Upper East Side and boyfriend of Blair Waldorf, Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford), Chuck's best friend, and certain outsiders who become part of the turbulent Manhattan scene: Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley), Serena's friend and Nate's on-again, off-again ex; Vanessa Abrams (Jessica Szohr), Dan's best friend; and Dan's ambitious sister Jenny (Taylor Momsen).

Cast and characters

Gossip Girl features ensemble cast of nine regular speaking roles which were mainly adapted from the book series. The first few episodes of the first season included the original concept from the books, mainly following the lives of the five teenagers. Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively), is a attractive former 'it girl', the protagonist of the show. Dan Humphrey (Penn Badgley), an outsider who becomes a part of the turbulent Manhattan scene, is Serena's main love interest. Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) is a beautiful Queen Bee of Manhattan's social scene, as well as Serena's best friend and occasional rival. Nate Archibald (Chace Crawford) is a wealthy guy, often confused by his feelings and the path he wants to take in life. Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) serves as the show's antihero, being a womanizer and party lover with a troubled life and past, but possessing a soft side to him as well.

Gossip girl is something I love to watch and I really love to see lots of varieties such as comedy, drama, history, and law (Cold Case and Law and order).
