I should point out our girl Kristen Bell does the narration on this show as the voice of Gossip Girl. This was her next gig right after "Veronica Mars" was cancelled.
i heard that bubbly voice i came to love
still out of every teen bopper sohw i watched, no one came across with money flash and swag like logan echolls and dck

Yep., That's always the biggest hurdle with these Teens Dramas, how they handle the post-high school seasons. I hate how "One Tree Hill" handled it by having a 4 year time jump, completely skipping their college years.
I'm currently watching the 6th episode of Season 3. They got actress Gina Torres playing Vanessa's Mom! I always assumed that Vanessa was Hispanic. But if they got Gina Torres playing Vanessa's Mom, that means Vanessa is at least half-black.
I just watched Episode 8 of Season 3 the other day. Blair calling Serena a prostitute, Blair needing a Escort to be her new best friend because she don't fit in at NYU. This just what I needed after I had just finish watching the series finale of "90210" & was feeling a little sad. I was reminded GG is way better than "90210".

I know we always talk about how BAD Adrianna is in the "90210" thread & how nikkas on this forum worship her. But having watched a couple of episodes of "Gossip Girl" since I finished up "90210", I'm reminded that Serena is finer than Adrianna (& Naomi).
Both of those 2 things are big with nikkas, so I'd probably end up still choosing Adrianna.
