First off they Edit too wear Blairs swim suit is gone. Sadly thats not Dan with Serena its that Peter guy. Gossip Girl isnt all about sex yes it talks about it but dosent every show? Parents should be watching what their kids watch and making sure they dont watch shows like this.
It's that cougar lady from season 2 the one who's married and is having a affair with nate..

Quite personally I think the Parents Television Council should shut up and worry about their own kids, not everyone else's.
If they don't want their own kids watching it, that's fine. But, it is each individual child's parents' choice to monitor what their kid watches or not.
And Gossip Girl is definitely no where near as bad as some shows out there.
And I too just noticed they edited Blair's swimsuit off in that picture.
I like that the promos seem to be embracing the somewhat bad criticism and turning into a "I don't care, this is what makes the show good" kind of thing.
You go CW! lol Keep that show well written and nasty ;]

Like someone said, in England we have this show called Skins. It is so much worse. Everybody openly does drugs and masturbates, they are always naked, and one time they showed two people having full on sex! Genitals and orgasms EVERYWHERE! (No, its not porn.)
Gossip Girl is nowhere near as bad! The Parents Television Council all need to get lives and stop being so protective. It's not like we havent seen it all before and we are all gunna see it in the future! They need to LIGHTEN UP!
If these parents think that the show is not a good influence to their kids then it is their problem to stop them from watching it. Just last week, there is this mom in our office who is lambasting these bratty socialites in Hollywood ( no need to name names ) because she said that her 8 year old kid loves them and she fears that her kid might grow up to be like her. So being me, always the anti-climax bitch in the office, told her that it will be her fault if her kid turns out to be a bratty bitch. I mean, i have a 4-year old niece how adores, praises, loves Mean Girls esp the Jingle Bell Rock scene and she surely loves Lindsay Lohan. Im a loving aunt so I can't tell her that Linday has been a mean girl in real life. Instead, I support her I let her watch Parent Trap while making sure that she keeps her values. As her 24 year old guardian, I will not allow any shows or movies influence her. In this world of superficial, you can't stop kids to watch movies and shows esp if the cast are as hot as GG cast. lol
Seriously, my thought applies here as well. :-)
My point exactly!

I don't care what the critics are saying, Gossip Girl is a good show, and ya, the kids have sex in it, but kids also have sex in real life and the story lines are much easier to believe than The OC and One Tree Hill, and I'm not saying I don't love those shows too, because I do. I can't wait for the next season of Gossip Girl, they have a fantastic and exhilarating cast who are very talented

I see nothing wrong with the photos; the actual show contents can't be that racy if it has an 8'oclock timeslot. I'm new to the show, having only watched the second half of Monday nights rerun and than a few episodes I found online. Still trying to decided if I want to tune in come September (the ads certainly don't hurt, I am in my 20s and for these H.S. characters to have grown up issues makes it more relateable for me)

The members of the PTC aren't very good mothers/fathers/gaurdians [it would have been so much easier for me to have just typed PARENTS!] in my opinion, I mean they'd rather spend time with bunch of money old hags and stack of TV guides, than spend quality time with their kids, obv. if they're doing they're job right as parents they wouldn't have to worry about the show.
And skins is like sex and the city for teens IMHO!

This show does have some bad stuff in it, but that's why parents just need to control their kids a little more. It's not the CWs fault you can't keep them from watching shows they're not supposed to! It's called BLOCKING channels. Kids will see all of this kind of stuff in movies, and maybe even in school. So whats the point of cancelling it??

Hello, I think the parents are being overreactive. If Gossip Girl were a movie, I doubt it will even get as far as a M18 rating, or even NC16. I'm only 14 and I like this show even though I do not live in America, not because there is sex or anything (which there TOTALLY isn't), but because it is a great show for teenagers and any girl who adores fashion. It is realistic and almost like a dream for people like me who do not live on the UES. But on the other hand, we can view "Mind-blowingly Inappropriate" as a comment to reach out to more people :)
There's nothing wrong with Gossip Girl, OK maybe 13+ but I didn't see the parents being quite so outraged with the book series which are far worse in my opinion, the TV series cuts out the Blair/Serena fling, Nate's drugs, most of Blair's bulimia and a lot of sex.

The show honestly isn't meant for children so what are they complaining about. If parents are letting their kids watch it then it's their fault that the little one's are being corrupted not the companies or the actors. That would be why they market these things for a certain age group.
