Gossip Much?

Wednesday night at 9/8 central. That's what everyone longs for . Teenage girls across the country pick up their remotes and turn the channel to the CW to watch what new drama will arise on the the CW's newest show, Gossip Girl.

Based on the New York Times best selling series by Cecily von Ziegesar, Gossip Girl has everyone talking . Produced by the creator of The OC , Gossip Girl is a TV show about overprivileged prep school teens in New York City. Everything in these teens' lives are glamorous. From the designer clothes they wear to the people they associate with, they, along with their parents, try to make their lives seem as spectacular as possible, even though that is not always the case.

Gossip Girl deals with issues just like every teen drama in the past. From friendship to love, to college, this hit show has every viewer on the edge of their seat. Yes, some episodes can be a bit intense, but that's one of the reasons we all watch. People return every week to discover several questions. Will the friendship between Blair and Serena be broken forever? Will Jenny turn into a Blair Waldorf of the world? Will Dan and Jenny's mother come back home? Each week viewers return in front of the TV hoping some of these popular questions will be answered.

But one of the best parts of Gossip Girl , is the fact that we can escape from the drama and gossip in our own lives and focus on a fictitious one . Sure, at certain times in these episodes people wish they lived the life of Serena, Blair, Nate, Chuck, and Dan, but by the time the episode is over, people leave the couch being thankful for their lives, and for the fact that Blair Waldorf doesn't go to their school.

Gossip Girl is one of the most popular shows for teens this year, and hopefully for the next. It's a modern twist on the classic teen drama, and keeps everyone guessing. So when your daughter disappears in front of the TV on Wednesday night, remember what it was like watching your favorite drama as a teen, and know that Gossip Girl is probably ten times better.
