CW is Down 20% this year because of shows like Gossip Girl

All hype, nothing to watch.

That's Gossip Girl in a nutshell.

The "brain"child of Josh Schwartz, the "giant" who brought you the vacuous "The O.C." and the hideous "Chuck", Gossip Girl does not disappoint. It's every bit the insulting trivia that CW is known for. How did Josh Schwartz get his career anyway? He must be related to someone REALLY influential for three networks to produce losers that he created.

Is it really a mystery why CW doesn't have an audience? This show may also mark the beginning of the end of Kristin Bell's believability as an actress. After headlining the awful and justly unwatched Veronica Mars, she is heralded as the "star" of Gossip Girl. What's with that? Can't she tell a bad script when she sees one? The networks blame their audience losses on the internet and various other factors they can't control. Wake up!! The audience is leaving because of shows like Gossip Girl.

UPDATE: Gossip Girl continued to be poorly watched and helped drag down CW to a 20% audience loss. CW's response? "We need more shows like Gossip Girl!

Incredible that even losing 1/5th of your audience does not register.
