Chuck’s the best tv character since Geoffrey the Butler on Fresh Prince. From Geoffrey’s wiki: “An Oxford grad and Olympic runner, he fled England after cheating in a race and being slapped by Queen Elizabeth.” And Lydia Hearst is gonna need to do something about that voice of hers.

So this post totally made me nostalgic for high school and all things Snoop Dogg (sorry to deviate from the subject at hand, gg lovers). Is it un-pc of me to absolutely love the song “Ain’t No Fun?” This one goes out to all the ladies, from all the guys…
I’m such an object of feminist hatred right now.

Am I the only one that sees a striking resemblence between Amelia, played by Lydia Hurst, and Jess, the crazy girl from the O.C. that was banging Ryan’s brother Trey?

Hottest girl on the show is clearly Serena’s mom, Kelly Rutherford. Hottest guy on the show is a toss up between Dan’s Dad, Rufus, and Chace Crawford. You can’t go wrong either way it’s more of a personal preference between young and old.

Also, am I the only one that thinks Dan looks like Billy Crystal?

First time, long time my dearest Beanstockd. First, let me commend you (Beanstockd being referenced in the singular as though all contributors to the blog form one Beanstockd super-person a la the love child if Voltron and Captain Planet had mated) on continuing to analyze and assess the importance of the greatest show in the history of television.

I am not usually one to quibble with accusations and will customarily let my laissez-faire attitude rule the blogging world, but I must stand up against injustice in regard to the accusation that Chuck Bass is a rapist.

First and foremost, the greatest TV character of all time (more on this in a minute) has never been convicted nor even had formal charges brought against him for not only rape, but also: groping, harassment, or unwarranted touching of the bathing suit area. So please, let’s call a spade a spade and let’s call a young, well-kempt, scarf purveyor, intelligent, driven, mysteriously handsome gentleman what…er, who, it is, Mr. Chuck Bass.

Amidst all the hack-a-scene acting that is allowed on screen from Chace and Blake, it is imperative that we allow Chuck Bass, his ego, his attitude, his stinging one-liners, and his scarves on screen at all times. Yes, he may have got a bit eager with Jenny Humphrey, but everyone has faults. If Tony Soprano can be loved in lieu of his status as a mass murderer and extortionist, I think we can give Chuck Bass a free pass this one time.

Against the backdrop of the most well-known TV characters of all time: Dylan McKay, Brandon Walsh, Zack Morris, Dawson Leary (puh-leaze), Balki Bartokomous, Alex P. Keaton, Uncle Jesse, Dr. Michael Mancini, Seth Cohen, and Doogie Howser, M.D., Chuck Bass stands out for his wit, his charm and his incredible ability to carry a story arc all by himself.

A single example: accused of rape by bloggers and still bagging B and then dropping her like a gateway drug en route to the real fun narcotics (organic only obvi), Chuck Bass is en route to seducing Lydia Hearst (this after his ménage-a-trois, cougar romp from the college delegation circuit, and the aforementioned B). Need I say more? For the love of one’s deity of choice, “I am Chuck Bass”. That is all that needs to be said.

haha Syl, I see that. Also, when Chace Crawford was getting all huffy with his deadbeat-llionaire Dad he became facially indistiguishable from Zac Efron.

So probably stating the obvious here, but that Lydia Hearst is a crazy rexatron… http://gawker.com/390370/previously-unseen-production-still-from-night-and-fog-released (nice lifting that outfit out of VBecks’ laundry, Lydz)

It’d be hilarious for her and Little J to wrestle it out to be the object of Chuck’s rapist ‘tendencies’ (more accurate??). Jenny’s def desperate for the extra screen time after getting so unapologetically sidelined in the finale.

deadbeat-llionaire — so accurate.

What are our thoughts on the new 90210 coming out on the CW? Do we think that it’s going to pop off like the OC or is it doomed from the start like Saved by the Bell: The New Class?

From first glance, the new 90210 looks like it’s going to flop. I saw the 2 minute teaser video they put together and wasn’t all that impressed. If you can’t make a teaser enticing, then most likely the show will not be good.

Shoot, even New York Minute had a solid trailer even though it’s the worst movie of all time (same deal with Daredevil).

We wouldn’t even need Nine-O to come back if The OC just used my idea of having Luke Perry come back as Dylan McKay as Ryan’s long lost uncle.

More importantly, everyone should be paying attention to “The biggest online dance battle in the history of mankind” between the ACDC Cru and the Mandy and Miley Cru on YouTube. That is entertainment.

Like GG learning from the outrageous dead-end storylines on the OC, I hope the 9-0 remake will learn from it’s more wholesome predecessor. Sex, drugs and self-awareness go a long way on TV, but that’s a formula that could lead them right into the trap of being a Hills/GG hybrid copycat. Instead of hanging out at the peach pit with the altruistic Nat, will the Heidi and Spencer-ish characters on the show hang out at Winstons with armenian party promoters? Sounds kinda like Entourage. Whatever, Aunt Becky is on the show which means I’m in.

It was so sad when Saved by the Bell tried to grow up. Although the new Lisa Turtle character was bangin.

Back to new 9-0 for a sec, will there be any coloreds?

Cool Kid, agreed about Alex P. Keaton being a great tv character. Even though he was a reagan-republican, he embodied the good republican ideas. Today, he’d either be a Clinton-Dem or a straight-up libertarian.

And yes, you’ve never seen a white boy move like Adam Sevani.

I wish I’d learned to dance like this instead of wasting my time with ballet.

ahhh season finale=roller coaster of emotions

Am I the only one who was like sup OC?

ended with a wedding
a breakup
Bart Bass totes=Caleb Nichol
and then I think Dan and Serena danced to Death Cab…

and ps, the wedding dresses? Why was blair wearing a muumuu and then Serena? Ralph Lauren called and they want their stuff back. You’re not actually supposed to style exactly off of the runway! especially when a normally tasteful aspirational WASP label gets it soo wrong!

Nice collection about wedding dresses and it is very informative about wedding.

Thanks
