@Jr4092, she’s not a main character, but evidently she had a storyline in the upcoming season that meant she was in a significant number of episodes.

One more programming note. Have you guys seen the branding CBS has been doing for the fall? These guys are really working hard at selling the CBS brand. It is no wonder that their shows do so well in reruns. I know the network is for older people. But CBS is clearly out to get every viewer it can. Instead of talking about the end of Network TV, more networks should be looking for ways to kick some butt with their programming. Oh yes, fire any network executive that tells you his network will not be number one! I mean really.

Why don’t great shows like Mental on Fox and The Philanthropist on NBC get better marketing. During the fall the networks are all over the radio promoting their shows. How do they ever expect these shows to breakout into summer hits that can compete with cable when they treat them like the trash they forgot to dump out. I get that they run spots on their own networks. But what is the point if no one is watching? It wasn’t that long ago that Fox aired a new show in the summer called American Idol. We know what happened with that show. But it was being promoted on the network during the entire May sweeps period. I just don’t get it. If you are not going to try and be the best, why not just shut down for the summer?

Its a pretty cool show. But where do you get that Michelle Trachtenberg is a major character?

“Serena, killed a man, and most of the characters frequently get wasted, do drugs and have promiscuous sex”.

Hm, perhaps this a program that I should be watching.

I honestly enjoyed the first season of Gossip Girl, but the steady drop in quality over the second season has made me think that Josh Schwartz has basically replicated The OC and it’ll burn out either this coming season or partway through the next one (of course, given how weird The CW is, you never can tell). News like this and the word that they have to make major changes since Michelle Trachtenberg is unavailable (due to Mercy getting bumped up in NBC’s schedule) can’t be good. I’m sure that news that one of the main cast members wants to leave can’t be far behind.

I can’t say that I blame them.
