• CW Upfronts: Smaller Fall Schedule Announced with Pretty People Everywhere

  The CW announced its fall schedule today and it features all good-looking people.  I suppose one could make the argument that all television features good-looking people, but not to the extreme extent that the CW has taken it.  You see, most of the CW's Fall schedule not only features good-looking people, the series themselves are about those people being good-looking, or at least it's a very important part of the series.  There are three hours of new programming on the CW's Fall schedule, one of which may include the most highly-anticipated new series going into next season.  Before any Reaper fans go ballistic and worry about why the series isn't on the Fall schedule, don't worry.  The CW has ordered 13 episodes of Reaper , which will hit the air at mid-season.  There's a very good chance that it will take over Smallville 's time slot at some point, but nothing is set in stone. 

• Gossip Girl: "I'm Chuck Bass"

  Although I thought that the big reveal on last night's Gossip Girl about Serena's dirty little secret was a tremendous letdown, I'm not going to let that interfere with my enjoyment of the episode. There were so many other amazing parts about the episode that I'm willing to overlook the lameness of Serena's secret and move on to her really great group of friends. First, I suppose I should begin with my analysis of Serena's secret. It probably is realistic that she felt so guilty about her friend Peter's overdose and subsequent death that she had to go into hiding in a boarding school in New Hampshire. She was only 16 at the time, still reeling from having slept with her best friend's boyfriend, and clearly under the influence of more than one chemical substance. But honestly, I expect more scandal from Gossip Girl .

• Gossip Girl: Episode 17 "Woman on the Verge" Recap

  Last week's episode of Gossip Girl was so wonderfully awesome that it nearly caused my little scandal-loving heart to burst.  Eric came out of the closet in front of all of his peers after he was caught making out with Jenny's scummy boyfriend, Asher.  Jenny ( Taylor Momsen ) was promptly ostracized from the clique after they realized that she lied about swiping her V card, leaving Blair as the winner of the social war.  In the biggest shocker of the evening, Serena let Blair in on the deep, dark secret from her past: she killed someone! Tonight, Serena's bad girl side finally reemerges, which helps Nate and Chuck take steps to rekindle their bromance.
