I saw the pilot episode and thought it was surprisingly entertaining. I haven't seen any episodes since, though.

I've seen a few episodes here and there (mainly because they air before "One Tree Hill"), but never seen a complete episode since I watch "How I Met Your Mother" at 8:30.

It's a rather overdone teen melodrama, with some good stories, but not anything that's worth catching once a week. The acting is...well, I don't want to say laughable, but it's appropriate for overdone teen melodrama. If it weren't for the fact that Blake Lively is hot as hell, I probably wouldn't give it a second glance.

(And I know that in a moment of weakness I'll probably buy Season 1 when it's on DVD...)

I've watched like the first 4 episodes and then stopped because I wanted to catch up on Greek first (which btw is one great and hilarious show), but what I saw really was, although kinda predictable and typically overdone for teen drama, still entertaining maybe even addictive and as Escapay said I might end up picking up Season 1 when the price starts dropping.
However the boys are kinda lame, but Blair's make-up is always great!

Anyone catch the premiere?? It was so good but i'm also so sad that i have to wait until next season to watch it again!! I heart blair and chuck, i was a little disappointed at the end of the episode but i'm confident that next season they'll be able to make it work.. Also it'll be so interesting having jenny working for blairs mom!

WTF!!! OMG They totally runied the show in 2 episodes. I still love it but after all the good episodes the last 2 are ugh. AND THAT WAS NOT A FINALE!!! No Juicy cliffhanger! SO what if chad is gunna cheat I hate that relationship! They should have ended the season with "I KILLED SOMEONE!" and the sister (jenny?) wasn't in the last episode and just had 5 min on this one...

PS. U mean the finale right?

That's why there's these wonderful things called book socks and a wonderful self-defense system called Krav Maga. :P

Don't feel "bad" or "uncomfortable" enjoying something that is...how can I put this delicately...stereotypically expected to be something with more feminine appeal. When I was in high school, I was known as "that soap opera guy" because of my very-public love of soap operas. :P And it wasn't really that big of an issue with anyone I knew, mainly because they knew that I could beat them in arguments of "Soap operas are stupid" and that soap talk is an easy "in" with most girls.

Also, I would write my own soap operas in high school and they always liked it if I named/modeled a character after them, or adapted one of their own personal soap opera situations into one for the ones I wrote. My best friend gave me a lot of material from her tumultuous love life that I pretty much gave her co-credit on one of the soap operas I wrote.

(And looking back on them now, most of the ones I wrote was a lot of silly ftuff, though there are a few that if I had the time/devotion, I'd revisit and try and adapt into one of my novels.)

So, I've just become addicted to this show! lol. I've been able to watch the first three episodes on YouTube, but can't find the rest of them online anywhere and it's driving me crazy! I'm also very perturbed that CW doesn't put the episodes online (and if they do, I can't find them for the life of me!!).

Any suggestions? :D

Check your PMs if you haven't yet.
But actually the CW should have all the episodes on their website unless they're one of those networks who take the episoded down again after a few weeks.
