You know, this was kind of an extemporaneous brain dump. My point seems to be that (1) it’s wasn’t scandalous enough to be fun, and (2) the depiction of wealth is less than profound.

But no, I’m not ready to give up just yet. And I haven’t seen 90210 yet. Though (spoiler alert) I hear it’s about Beverly Hills.

Wait a sec. It seems like you didn’t really like the premiere. Sure you don’t want to jump ship to the new 90210 instead?

Oh, class issues. Something I dealt with a LOT in college.

I refuse to let my younger siblings watch most of the shows on Disney and Nickelodeon nowadays because they perpetuate the same fetishes and lack of discipline you seem to be describing in “Gossip Girl.” I could write a post’s worth on how Hannah Montana is the walking representative of everything that is opposite of how a person should act, let alone a person of her age and a female, at that. Drake and Josh on Nickelodeon are not any better. This crap is everywhere, not just in “soaps.”
