Is NBC prepared to face an onslaught of angry CHUCK?
Because that is exactly what they network will be facing should NBC choose not to renew this criminally under-watched series for a third season. Especially after CHUCK co-creator Josh Schwartz revealed to theTVaddict.com during a press conference prior to yesterday’s New York Comic Con panel that the third season finale will not wrap up the adventures of Chuck Bartkowski in a nice bow, but rather serve as a mind-blowing “Game Changer” that will launch the show in an entirely different direction.

Since GOSSIP GIRL showrunners Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage took all the fun out of sending this TV Addict the first three fantastic episodes of GOSSIP GIRL’s second season by swearing me to secrecy. Or to be more specific, asking critics to refrain from spoiling all the scandalous details of one seriously OMFG!—worthy relationship that you definitely won’t see coming. I figure the least I can do is offer up a little tease to hold my fellow GOSSIP guys and gals over until “S,” “B,” “N,” “D,” “C” and “J” return to the small screen with brand new episodes.
So without further ado, theTVaddict.com presents our first ever GOSSIP GIRL “He said/She said” Challenge. To play, simply attribute the quote [lifted directly from the second season premiere] to the correct character in the comments below.*
And be sure to catch the season premiere of GOSSIP GIRL on September 1st at 8PM to see if your guesses were correct. Because this TV Addict is pretty confident that you’re all going to be surprised as to who had trouble getting over whom this summer, you is out for revenge, who’s getting a second chance, not to mention which of your favorite Upper Eastsiders ended off the premiere getting really cozy under the fireworks! 
*Please Note: theTVaddict.com edited in both genders so that the game wouldn’t be too easy!
Last night’s third installment of GOSSIP GIRL officially cemented New York’s most privileged high school students as this TV Addict’s favorite new Josh Schwartz show of the season. Nothing against CHUCK, but it seems that the brilliance of ALIAS has ruined secret agent spy shows for me forever. Are you more into gossip girls or nerd herds? Vote for your favorite Schwartz show on this week’s theTVaddict.com poll of the week [see right sidebar].
As great as last night’s episode of PUSHING DAISIES was, I’d like to offer up a little advice to showrunners everywhere. Never cast Patrick Fabian [or William Mapother] as your ‘bad guy’. Not only is he obviously the most evil guy in the room, VERONICA MARS fans will forever remember him as Professor Landry.
The award for Wednesday’s laugh out loud moment of the night goes to DIRTY SEXY MONEY for inventing the word ‘Twintuition.’ Reason #123 why I wish I had a twin, or at the very least a lot more dirty sexy money.
Since there’s only so much television this TV Addict can handle in one night, last night’s episode of BIONIC WOMAN was sentenced to weekend watching courtesy of my PVR. Today’s big question of the day — is it worth watching?
Are you ready for Josh Schwartz’s next guilty pleasure? Are you prepared to get hooked on yet another group of beautiful rich teenagers [played by twenty-somethings] who have far too much money and power, yet still manage to face those everyday peskly little ‘problems’ like drug addiction, date rape and peer pressure? If not, do not click here.
No seriously, if you’re anything like this TV Addict — translation: you have ‘issues’ when it comes to getting hooked on television shows like BEVERLY HILLS 90210, THE OC and MELROSE PLACE — do not even think of clicking here. If you do, you’ll be taken to iTunes where you’ll be able to download the series premiere of the highly anticipated new CW show GOSSIP GIRL. And again, if you’re anything like this TV Addict, say goodbye to twenty-two hours of your life.
GOSSIP GIRL has it all. The pilot comes complete with a mean girl rivalry (Serena vs. Blair), the usual mystery (Why exactly is Serena’s brother in the hospital?), the standard party of the year (in this case, the ‘Kiss on the Lips Ball’) and what’s now become the obligatory Josh Schwartz trademark party dust up between good guy Dan and bad boy Chuck. Oh, and did we even mention that Veronica Mars herself, Kristen Bell narrates as ‘gossip girl’? Pretty much all that’s missing is a welcome to Manhattan B*itch!
It goes without saying that this TV Addict is already hooked and assuming everything goes according to the CW’s master plan — soon you will be too. Blake Lively is the new Misha Barton. Seth Cohn — you’re so 2005 — make room for Dan Humphrey. And Blair Waldorf, well you make Julie Cooper Nicol look nice.
Assuming you’re even still reading this and haven’t already started watching, sit back, enjoy and be sure to drop by theTVaddict.com and let us know what you think gossip about it.
