Product Information

Toward the conclusion of the first season, Janet Malcolm of The New Yorker criticized the show for its deviations from the novels. From prep school, through college and beyond, here are all the sizzling twists and shocking turns of Serena, Blair, Nate, Chuck, Dan and their frenemies.

The students first learn that Serena van der Woodsen, once the Upper East Side's most notorious party girl, is back in town the way they learn all the important news in their lives: from the blog of the all-knowing albeit ultra-secretive Gossip Girl. In my first viewing of the show, even though I knew they should end up together, to help keep the show's creative integrity (meaning, having these two together made sense for the story).

Due to the show's pedigree as an adaptation of The New York Times best-selling novel series, the show was considered to be one of the more anticipated new shows of the 2007–2008 television season.

Dan initially does not fit in with the Upper East Side teenagers as he lives in Brooklyn and is not a legacy student, but rather attends St. A Mexican version of the series was produced by Mexican producer Pedro Torres as Gossip Girl: Acapulco.The ads included quotes like "Every Parent's Nightmare", "Mind-Blowingly Inappropriate" and "A Nasty Piece of Work" in what appears to be an effort to continue the "rebellious teen" style of the show. I must say that having found out who "Gossip Girl" is in the last episode I have been inspired to watch through again - seeing it in a whole new light now I know! On April 24, 2012, it was announced that he would leave the show at the end of the fifth season to be the new showrunner of NBC's now-cancelled musical series Smash. So you'll have all of the individual covers for the seasons, which I love, as, I really wanted the season 6 DVD cover! New York Magazine revealed several locations shot at the French University, La Sorbonne in the Latin District (or Quartier Latin) of Paris on July 5.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Throughout the series' run, Connor Paolo consistently declined to elevate his recurring role of Eric van der Woodsen to regular status, citing personal reasons for his decision. As season three airs on ITV2, some critics have suggested it's not the hilarious romp it once was, which is all the more reason to curl up on the sofa and gorge on series one and two, a sumptuous 18 and 25 episodes respectively, to see what the fuss was about. As a super fan I’ve watched almost every clip on the internet and blooper real on youtube and there are plenty of stuff i am just now seeing for the first time thanks to this amazing box set.The series revolves around a group of teenagers growing up in Manhattan who discover the latest on relationships, friendships and jealousy through a weblog kept by the all-knowing, yet totally secretive, Gossip Girl (voice of Kristen Bell). After becoming a regular on the ABC series Revenge, Paolo confirmed his departure from Gossip Girl in August 2011. As the show continued its first season, the response became considerably more positive, and by the second season critical response was favorable. On July 25, 2012, Style Network announced that it had acquired the off-network rights to Gossip Girl and started airing repeats of the show on August 15, 2012.

On the main boxset cover, it has Ivy on it, which I didn't like, as she was only there in the last few seasons.In 2008, The New York Times reported the show has had a profound impact on retail, saying Gossip Girl is probably "the first [show] to have been conceived, in part, as a fashion marketing vehicle".
