Which show are you looking forward to watching again this fall?

After the stunt that she played at the Library Benefit, Little Jenny Humphrey was sentenced to spend the summer and her senior year in Hudson with her mother. Distraught by this news, Jenny fled to Chuck’s penthouse suite hoping to find Nate. Instead she found Chuck sulking with a drink in hand. Jenny joins him for a drink and then the unthinkable happened. Little J gave up her V-card to Chuck.

After Dorota’s baby had been born, Blair rushed to the Empire State Building in hopes that Chuck would still be there. She found her favorite flowers dumped in a trash can and immediately rushed to see Chuck. Startling Chuck and Jenny, Chuck rushed out to distract Blair and comes to find out why she had not shown up; overthrown with guilt for what he had just done, he distracts Blair while Jenny sneaks out the back window.

Meanwhile, Little J was so distraught about her decision to sleep with Chuck that she blurts to Eric what she had done. She swears him to secrecy, but later tells her brother Dan of her decision. Chuck and Blair have just arrived at the hospital where Jenny, Dan, Serena, Nate, and Eric are waiting. Chuck pulls out a ring box and is about to ask Blair to marry him when Dan punches Chuck in the face. Blair demands to know what is going on. Jenny admits she slept with Chuck and he confirms. He tries to explain that he thought it was over between him and Blair. Blair demands Jenny get out of the city and to destroy her should she return.

Blair ends it officially with Chuck and leaves with Serena for Paris. Chuck leaves for Prague and in the closing scene is jumped by some locals who try to steal Blair’s ring. He tells them he will give them whatever they want, but not the ring. A struggle ensues and a gun goes off. Chuck is left dying in the street.

This was an epic episode that leaves the viewer with a lot of questions. Hopefully they will all be answered in the fall when Gossip Girl returns for its 4th season in the Fall.

In addition to this revelation, Dr. William Van Der Woodson, Serena and Erik’s father, comes back to check on Lily since her cancer has been in remission, and he was her attending physician. This immediately sets the tone for Monday’s episode. Rufus feels that William has come back to New York to win Lily back, and he is determined to make sure that doesn’t happen. After a failed attempt to kick William out at the traditional Humphrey/Van der Woodson brunch, Rufus decides to have William’s request to live in the same building as them denied.

Serena learns of what Rufus has done and tells her mother. William is being honored at an annual alumni event, and Rufus, who was supposed to accompany Lily, decides not to go. Lily and Serena agree.

Blair has been struggling with a decision about housing for next year. Lately she has been deciding to spend more time on the Upper West side near Colombia University. The night of the Colombia alumni event, Blair attends in support of William and runs into the Dean of Admissions. It turns out that Chuck had been trying throughout the whole year to have Colombia accept her and have her transfer. With this meeting, she is offered acceptance to Colombia and is able to deny a Gossip Girl blast that said she wasn’t attending.

Rufus decides to fight for Lily with some encouragement from Eric. He shows up and declares that he doesn’t mind if William sticks around but asks her if she could find another doctor. Before she can answer, William makes his acceptance speech for the award he received. He ends with a public declaration for Lily, which infuriates Rufus. Lily becomes angry with Rufus and tells him to stay at his loft in Brooklyn for the night.

Serena takes advantage of the situation and invites William over for hot chocolate. Rufus calls and asks Serena to tell Lily to call him. She ignores his requests in hopes that Lily and William will get back together.

This relationship begin to form back in season 1 when Blair and Nate had just broken up and Blair found out that Nate and Serena had slept together before Serena had skipped out of town. We all remember how it went down, don’t we? The back of a limo, champagne and Chuck Bass himself all proved to be a lethal combination for Blair Waldorf. After a brief reconciliation of their relationship, Nate and Blair called it quits for good. After Blair’s pregnancy scandal, Chuck kinda kicked Blair to the curb for a while telling her that she became like any other slutty girl on the Upper East side and that the thrill of chasing her was over. At the end of season 1, Serena’s mother, Lily, and Chuck’s father, Bart, got married, and Chuck made the traditional best man speech. Although publicly referring to his father and new bride, Chuck’s toast was a declaration of love for Blair. He promised to take her to Europe for the summer, but after a conversation with his father on what relationships do to the “people of our world,” Chuck abandoned Blair at the helipad and forced her to go to Europe alone.

In season 2, they attended the annual cricket game in upstate New York. It’s from this episode throughout the entire season that they went back and forth trying to put in words their feelings for each other. “Just say it. 3 words, 8 letters.” Blair finally said it, and Chuck had another breakdown. In the season 2 finale, before Blair and Serena jet off to Europe for the summer again, Chuck finally said those 3 small words.

In the season 3 premiere, Gossip Girl suspected Chuck was up to his old ways, but it turned out Blair and Chuck had come up with some pretty interesting games to play with each other. In season 3 Blair and Chuck became closer than ever, especially dealing with the death of Bart, Serena’s car accident, finding out that Chuck’s mother wasn’t dead and Chuck’s Uncle Jack coming back for some revenge. This revenge was what ultimately made Blair and Chuck break up. Although they were a pretty twisted couple, they were perfect for each other, and I’m sad to see them apart.

Personally, I want to know so much about my favorite shows. BE CAREFUL! Major spoilers may be lurking in this area. Read at your own risk.

There aren’t a lot of good shows that have started yet. Gossip Girl has started and is always something I look forward to every week. It’s not what I would have liked, as expected, but it started that way last season also. Hopefully, it will pick up by the fourth or fifth episode.

Beverly Hills 90210 was a big disappointment. I think some people watched it regularly, but I found it shallow and boring. The issues were very predictable and boring. I felt no sympathy for the characters and found myself surprised when I realized it was a two-hour premiere. An hour tested my patience, two hours was unbearable. I was looking forward to the scenes with Kelly Taylor in it, but there weren’t very many. I thought the scene where Brenda Walsh first appears would be quite exciting, but it was so anti-climactic. It wasn’t a good experience. I probably won’t be watching it again soon.

Next week, new seasons for Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes and Ugly Betty are starting, and I’m real excited about that. Will Derek and Meredith finally get together forever? Will Dr. Hahn finally recognize Cristina’s abilities? Will George finally get what he deserves? Will Dr. Bailey reconcile with her husband? What will happen to all the heroes? Will Peter come back to the present from the future? Will Hiro stop Adam? Will Betty be able to choose between Henry and Gio? And next month, new season episodes for Samantha Who, Pushing Daisies and The Starter Wife will be premiering also.

What shows are you looking forward to watching?

Gossip Girl

OMG! What will happen to Blair and Chuck? Will they still get together? Personally, as much as I want them to be a couple, because they look so good together, I don’t think I’d want that. Not yet. If they got together, what will happen to them? Will they change? Will they suddenly become one of those lovesick couples who constantly spend time making eyes at each other? I don’t know about you, but one thing I love about the show is Chuck Bass’ flirtatious ways and Blair Waldorf’s sneaky ways, and I am not ready not to see that on the show.

Heroes

At this year’s ComicCon, Tim Kring and the whole team behind Heroes unveiled the first episode of the third season, which was reported to be amazing. The second season was too short and too full and really set itself up for a forgettable season. Yahoo! TV reports that it’s more focused and doesn’t introduce a billion new heroes.

Grey’s Anatomy

This is my guilty pleasure. It started off great but slowly developed into an underdeveloped soap opera. But I still want to know what’ll happen to Derek and Meredith and if they’re finally going to end up together.

CSI

Now that William Petersen is leaving the show as CSI Supervisor Gil Grissom (but staying on as Executive Producer), I wonder what will happen to the show. There are still the other characters, but I mostly watched the show because of Grissom. I wonder which actor they’ll get and character they’ll develop to add to the show.

Ugly Betty

Did Betty pick Gio or Henry? Did she pick anyone at all? Did she go to Italy? Or did she go somewhere else? What will happen to Daniel? Will he go back to Meade Publications?

I can’t wait for the new Fall TV season!

What about you? What show are you looking forward to this new fall season?
