The New Season of Gossip Girl Has Arrived!

......and unfortunately I missed it. I was too busy eating cheesecake and playing Clue! (more on that later). I think we are definitely starting to see more adn more parallels between GG and the OC, and so does the author of the article below.

Last night's season premiere of Gossip Girl (read Tim Stack's recap here) scored its best-ever total viewers (3.4 million, per the CW) since the 2007 series premiere. But here's what's really important: If you're not tuning in but you ever enjoyed The O.C., just start watching Gossip Girl already because it's turning into the same show. Not that I'm complaining! I loved how Blair and Serena's bitchy summer's-end chit chat (pictured, bottom) was so blatantly a carbon copy of The O.C.'s season 2 and season 3 (pictured, top) openers. Plus, that deceptively "boring," "Lord" guy Blair's dragging around the Hamptons is totally Summer's post-summer fling Zach from The O.C.'s season 2. They're just using them to make Chuck/Seth jealous!

WHATEVER. I wish Julie Cooper would come back already. Then this show would really rule.
