"Gossip Girl" Gets Best PR Ever!

Kudos to our friends over at the bracingly reality-based blog TV By The Numbers for casting the hard light of truth on the avalanche of "Gossip Girl" hype. "I threw up in my mouth a little bit when New York Magazine made Gossip Girl its cover story with the title Best Show Ever..." writes Robert Seidman, who goes on to deconstruct ratings claims for the show involving viewership via the Internets. Seidman writes, "You know what you have? A show that still has less viewers in total than the Gilmore Girls had just last year in its final season. Even when you add in the imaginary million extra Internet viewers." Ouchie!
