So this week's Gossip Girl could serve as the back-door pilot of a spin-off series! I for one am excited! I found the flashbacks of Lily's youth, featuring Brittany Snow (who I loved in American Dreams) to be much more entertaining than the present-day prom storyline. How long can they possibly drag out the "Will Blair and Chuck ever be together" plot? I almost skipped those parts as I watched this on my PVR.
As soon as I saw Andrew Mccarthy I knew I was sold. In my opinion Andrew Mccarthy (of 80's teen fame) is still a fox. He is my dream man. Right up there with Rob Lowe. Anyways, Mccarthy plays Lily's dad Rick Rhodes, a ballin' record exec. Young Cece is featured as a 80s version of a Real Housewife of Orange County, and Lily's rebellious sister is played by Krysten Ritter (who I thought was hilarious on Gilmore Girls).
Also, Valley Girls addressed something that I've always been curious about - Serena's father!! Keith Vanderwoodsen is apparently a skeezy, rich, music video making guy. And played by the Matt Barr, aka Peyton's stalker fake brother from One Tree Hill!
You know you watch too much TV when you recognize every single guest star.
All in all I will definately watch Valley Girls. And Josh Schwartz needs to learn how to write (or find better writers for) a show with longevity. I feel like Gossip Girl following the exact same path of The OC. For all we know Blake Lively will end up being killed off the end of season 3 and season 4 will feature Georgina as Dan's love interest and then cancelled.
