[edit] Season 3

The CW has renewed the show for a third season expected to air in the fall of 2009...

[edit] Reception

[edit] U.S. Nielsen Ratings

The first episode of the show was watched by 3.65 million viewers, coming in last place in its 9:00 p.m. timeslot on Wednesday nights.[11] Despite this, the show was noted to have held the best audience retention of America's Next Top Model in spite of a decline of 30% in the advertiser-craved 18-49 demographic and in total viewers.[12] The show wasn't able to cling to its viewers in its second outing, however, losing more than half of ANTM's audience and 22% of its own debut numbers in the face of strong competition from other shows such as ABC's Private Practice and NBC's Bionic Woman each of which made impressive debuts that night.[13] The eleventh episode of the first season marked the lowest rating to a date with only 1.80 million viewers, but ratings steadily increased leading up to the finale. In its second season, Gossip Girl has neared and on one occasion exceeded the viewership of its series debut.

iTunes

Before the series officially made its debut on air, the first episode was made available as a free download on iTunes. With its initial struggle for ratings, The CW entertainment's president Dawn Ostroff alluded to the fact that strong sales on iTunes was a deciding factor in the series being picked up for a full season.

[edit] Critical response

Gossip Girl initially received positive reviews. Due to the show's pedigree as an adaptation of the New York Times bestselling novel series, the show was considered to be one of the more anticipated new shows of the 2007-2008 television season. An August 2007 survey by OTX, a global media research and consulting firm, placed the show on the list of top ten new shows that viewers were aware of.[14] Though the pilot was the recipient of positive reviews from publications such as Variety, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle and the Boston Globe, other reviewers described it as a guilty pleasure rather than an hour's worth of must-watch television.[15][16][17][18] Metacritic gave it a score of 54, based on the reviews of 26 different publications.[19] However, author Cecily von Ziegesar has expressed support for the show, noting that all of her major plot points were present in the pilot.[20] The Parents Television Council has shown particular criticism of the series, especially with its "OMFG" ad campaign from April 2008.[21] It also named the episode "Victor/Victrola" the worst television program of the week in which the episode originally was broadcast.[22] These critical reviews are now on new Season 2 advertisements, featuring the San Diego Union-Tribune, Parents Television Council, New York Post and the Boston Herald.

The Hartford Courant chronicled a variety of negative responses to the ads. [23] As the show continued its first season, the response become considerably more positive, and by the second season critical response was favorable. Metacritic gave the new season an improved score of 71. "Summer's been good to this girl," claimed Entertainment Weekly, who awarded the series its highest grade of "A." [24] The New York Daily News claimed the show had found its footing by stating "It knows exactly what it wants and needs its new hybrid product to be. The hockey fights video of teen romance drama." Gossip Girl was designated the "Best. Show. Ever." in April 2008, by NY Magazine.[25]
