I’ve watched GG twice and love it. But living in NYC in your twenties in the real world means 3 roommates in a 2 bedroom apartment in a walk up. I wish I could live in NYC as a 25 year old with Serena’s money 😀

I just watched this whole series and am now rewatching it. I love it! Makes me wish I lived in a NYC when I was younger.

Serena had daddy issues and made bad romantic choices. Surprised Blair would too.

How was her relationship with chuck abusive? It’s obviously dramatized but they have an insane chemistry and understanding of each other. When chuck crossed lines, she created boundaries. Blair didn’t settle for less than she was worth.

He hit her/cut her face when she told him she was engaged.

I’m not there yet. Never watched the final season and I’m rewatching now.

You know it's just a show, right? Well-adjusted, mature people make for bad television.

He sold her for a hotel...and she takes him back.

Eventually, after dumping him for the same reason, and after he’d paid for it. It’s messed up but it’s drama and chuck/Blair weren’t going to not end up together.

Back in the day the 90s) I was offered a scholarship at NYU but not for any of the ivies I applied to so maybe that was a factor?

In what regard specifically? Smart phones, texting, Facebook, and email was already popular in 2007-08, wasn't it? I mean the phones from that era look super dated, but they did most of the same stuff, I think. iPhone 3G came out in 2008 and had a lot of capability in retrospect.

I only watched maybe 20% of the episodes -- but didn't the Humphrey Family live in a gigantic Brooklyn loft or something? That must have been worth several million dollars.

Leighton is married to and had both kids with Adam Brody.
