Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl is a tv series that first aired on the CW Network in September of 2007 and is still running. The show is based off "The Gossip Girl" novel series written by Cecily Von Ziegesar. The show takes place in the Upper East Side Of New York City and leads viewers through the lives of Manhattan's Elite. The show is called Gossip Girl because it is narrated by an unknown blogger who calls her or himself "Gossip Girl." This show is made for a viewing audience of mostly teen and is a Drama series.

Personally this is my all time favorite show. Many people have said its a younger version of a soap opera. Like many other viewers, I was hooked to the drama from the beginning. With plenty of amazing guest stars, and such a beautiful cast, its hard to miss an episode.

16 and Pregnant

16 and Pregnant is a reality show about teenage girls in high school who unexpectedly become pregnant. Each episode follows a different girl and gives their background information and how they found themselves at this place in their lives. This show is on MTV and first aired in June of 2009. The show is played in a documentary type format and typically starts when the girl is six to eight months into her pregnancy. MTV also created a spin-off to this show called Teen Mom, which follows some of the mothers from 16 and Pregnant and shows viewers how these mothers are dealing with their first years of being moms.

I think this show is one of MTV's best, it shows the viewers (who tend to be high school and college students, mostly girls) what its like to be a young, and many times single, mother. Im very glad that MTV did not glamorize this topic at all because teenage pregnancy seems to be a very popular subject these days with so many young girls getting pregnant. I think its a good way for girls to see that in most cases, they are not ready for children and they should be extremely careful to not get pregnant.

Tosh.0

Tosh.0 is a fairly new television series that debuted on Comedy Central in June 2009 and is still presently running. Hosted by comedian Daniel Tosh, this show is almost a spoof of E!'s The Soup. During its half hour time slot Tosh provides a comedic report on mostly online video clips from websites such as YouTube and also celebrities, pop culture, and other parts of today's society. Being a new show, Comedy Central started out by giving it a ten episode run, but due to it's increasing popularity in its time-slot among eight-teen to thirty-four year old males extended its season to run sixteen episodes. Soon after this change, Comedy Central announced that this show will be getting a second season consisting of twenty-five episodes.

I personally think this show is too much like E!'s The Soup, and I would rather watch The Soup because its more entertaining and I think as a girl I naturally enjoy watching E! more as a whole. I find Daniel Tosh to be a bit too sarcastic and a little to non-controversial for my liking as a host for a show of this kind. But like many other shows I will watch it if there is not anything else on.

Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair

Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair is a new show that started airing on January third of this year on VH1. This is a dating type reality show where Frank "The Entertainer" Maresca, a former contestant of I Love New York, I Love Money, and I Love Money 2, interviews and has women compete for dates with him. Each week one or more women are eliminated from the "basement" where the show takes place. This is because Frank lives in his parents basement, this also means his parents are helping him find the perfect woman. The show started with fifteen women, and will obviously end with one woman.

I personally don't really think this is a good show, just because the concept is too overdone. It is obviously entertaining, but thats about it. The only thing that is original about this show is that it takes place in a basement and has a set of new girls.
