A quick note about Gossip Girl

Am I the only one who noticed that this show is basically Cruel Intentions with lots of text messaging? Lots and lots of text messaging...

My favorite scene in the premiere was when the young freshman, about to get date-raped by the striped scarf-wearing senior (played by some creepy Jimmy Fallon clone), actually text messaged for help.

I'm going to say that again. She text messaged for help. Twice! Instead of, oh, I don't know...running?

The text messaging was SO distracting.

And they let the outcast dude get the girl of his dreams in the FIRST EPISODE??

Oh, and I totally feel justified in being a grown man and watching the show because Veronica Mars was the narrator.

here was my issue: the narrating blogger. i didn't need her telling me what was going on - i was, after all, actually WATCHING it. wtf.

Text messaging? Yeah, a little corny. But I LOVE THAT SHOW.
