Gossip Girl Overplucks Eyebrows

Have you ever wondered what would happen if Seth Cohen from The O.C. fucked Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City, and she proved to be remarkably fertile for a woman of her advanced age, and wound up giving birth to a love child that wasn't a baby at all, but rather a television show featuring pretty teenagers in great clothes frequenting trendy Manhattan bars and lamenting the fact that Peter Gallagher's eyebrows haven't made an appearance?

Well, except for the eyebrows (which I deem a serious oversight, Josh Schwartz), Gossip Girl is the answer to your mild curiosity. It's pretty, as is its cast. The girls all look like beautiful twenty-eight-year-olds, though none of them look quite as ancient and tired as Mischa Barton. The boys are mostly privileged assholes, except for "The Seth Cohen Character", who is apparently "The Josh Schwartz Character". None of the parents are interesting, mainly because, as I've already mentioned, none of them are Peter Gallagher's eyebrows. There is a love triangle or two, and something that passes for class conflict in a UES private school

GG is exactly what it sets out to be -- expensive television candy. It doesn't feed your soul, or even your stomach, but it tastes good and comes in a prettily wrapped package.
