Gossip Girl vs. Gilmore Girls
August 21, 2007 by Arieanna
I don’t know about you guys, but the resemblance is a little more striking than I anticipated. The Gossip Girl promo looks so much like a Gilmore Girls promo!
It’s like Rory & Lane with another friend. And more accessories.
I am sure a lot of it is intentional. As I said before, The CW is hoping that Gossip Girl hits the same niche as Gilmore Girls did. Originally, it was actually supposed to be a movie written by Amy Sherman-Palladino and starring Lindsay Lohan. When that fell through, they made it into a series.

Omigod!!!!!!!! that look likes like Lane and the other girls kinda looks like rory!!!!!!! this is such a rip off of GG!!!!!!!!! the girl in the middle is in a uniform, all three girls are caring coffe and the girlwith the white purse is korean!! I am not going to watch this show!!!!!!!!! a TOTAL take off of GG
They look like a richer Rory and a richer Lane!!!
p.s. sorry about the double post!!!!!!!
while the private school uniform is similar, from the books you’ll know that the girls of gossip girl are nothing like rory — spoiled, obnoxious, self-interested … in many aspects the opposite of rory’s character
i imagine the show will be an amazing guilty pleasure, though
what I specially hate is when people refer to gossip girl as GG
wow thats weird!
but i still wanna watch Gossip Girl, it looks really good.
I’m agree with Mimi what she said. That werid Rory and Lane(Gilmore Girls) like same with richer Rory and richer Lane,but I hate gossip Girl copy to Gilmore Girls.I dont want see that new show for me.Cuz look boring and not inestesing for me.
I kinda thought that too.
i didn’t know that GG was suppose to be a MOVIE! im totally obsessed and i didn’t konw what. cool i learn something new everyday.
blech.
There will never be another GG besides Gilmore Girls! And just seeing Chilton Rory made me sad all over again that we have no more new episodes to look forward.
the girl in the middle looks so much like rory.
and even though this pic annoys me, i will still watch it.
it looks pretty good.
but it will never be as good as gilmore girls.
and gilmore girls will always be the real GG!
THIS SHOW IS BASED OFF A SERIES OF BOOKS. This show isn’t just a way for the CW to keep Gilmore Girls fans watching, it’s an actual story.
I don’t think it has anything to do with Gossip Girl. They both have uniforms and there is an asian in the picture, but so what? There’s no way the CW would base their casting off what Rory and Lane looked like. Like Kat said, the girls are way different in their stories. I don’t think even the CW is that stupid to believe that Gilmore Girls is a thing like Gossip Girl.
Sorry if I’m on the mean side today. I just watched the “Nag Hammadi…” episode and when Jess left, it reminded me of there being no chance of him and Rory getting back together, ever. =[ So sad.
Did any Milo fans catch him on the Heroes: Cast Favorites last night?
don’t they know that NOTHING could ever replace gilmore girls? it was one of a kind.
i miss it so much
I agree nothing could ever replace Gilmore girls! I don’t care about the cw anymore. I won’t be watching Gossip girl or anything ever on the Cw!!
oh, I don’t like this!!! They can never replace Gilmore girls ! And what’s with the name? Gilmore GIRLS and Gossip GIRL! aww… can’t the call it something else? Or make a show who can be named Bilboard Boy or anything….
Guys, first….We canNOT compare GG with this one, or this one with GG. They are totally different shows, with different writers, directors and producers.
…I think the central girl in the picture looks a little bit like Rory, but i’m sure is just a coincidence.
…Guys, we cannot compare this two. GG was one of a kind show, unic….there’s no TV show in the world that we can compare with GG.
…Aw, i hate these TV shows about rich kids in private schools, with clothes made by a famous guy….nobody wants to see these anymore! It’s so over!….Nobody wants to see a copy of Beverly Hills 90210 again!
..Sorry about the bad english!
Of course the CW will capitalize on their hit series GG’s. However, hardcore GG’s fans will probably not accept this premise and merely not tune in. As I have said in the past, I really only watch the CW for reruns of According to Jim, etc. Anything else they can keep because I don’t think that network has a clue as to what the public likes.
I have switched my Fall viewing allegiance to FOX for Grammer/Heaton’s new show and ASP’s new show.
NEVER, EVER THIS SHOW WILL REPLACE GILMORE GIRLS!!!! EVEN IF WE MUST WAIT YEARS TO GET GG BACK!!!!! I ALWAYS WATCH MY GG DVDS!!!! I CAN WAIT AND HOPE THEY BRING GG BACK ONE DAY!!!! I HOPE THE CW WILL NOTICE ON DAY HOW SPECIAL GG IS!!!! IT’S SO DISSAPOINTING TO SEE A SHOW LIKE THIS!!!!! GILMORE GIRLS SHOULD HAVE MANY MORE SEASONS!!!! NOW OR IN 3,5,7, OR 10 YEARS I STILL LOVE GG!!!! WE WILL NEVER HAVE SUCH A AMAZING SHOW LIKE GILMORE GIRLS AGAIN!!!!!
everythings trying to be like gilmore girls these days. atleast thats what it seems like. maybe thats just because i can relate almost anything to it. but jeez, if the network is so desperate to have a show like gilmore girls, they should of extended ASPs contract in season 6 so we’d have a season 8.
I think the CW is just trying to play on the same fans, not the ideas. I’ve never read any of gossip girl books but I did wiki them and I’m sorry but it’s crap. I agree with Kat, the gossip girls are NOTHING like the Gilmore Girls. I don’t think gossip girls will be a family friendly either. (A bunch of high school kids being horrible in every way possible) Gilmore girls on the other handle was (please forgive me now for what I’m about to say) like Harry Potter, only in the sense that it grew with it’s fan fallowing. I felt like I grew up with both. Therefor the fans feel for involved, part of there life. Everyone can relate to a gilmore character in one way or another.
I just have to say that I agree with you so much, Jen. I grew up with Gilmore Girls too.. and I had always something to look forward to: a new episode, a new season. When i was smaller, I actually cryed if someone else was going to watch something else. (it didn’t last long, since they figured out pretty fast how much if meant to me) All I’m trying to say is BRING BACK A NEW SEASON!!! PLEASE…
i am such a cry baby i actually cried when i saw this!
gross
ahh its actually kinda scary how much they look like rory and lane.. i dont like it
Nothing replaces Gilmore Girls!!! The Gossip Girls picture totally reminds me of Gilmore Girls. The coffee addiction, Korean friend, and uniforms are all similar. I’m defiantly not watching Gossip Girls. Sounds pointless to me. I don’t like shows about spoiled people.

no, no, no and once again no!
p.s. i miss GG so much:(
Wasn’t there a rumor that the CW was going to cast Matt Czuchry for an episode of Gossip Girl as an NYC frat boy to try to reel in some of the Gilmore Girls viewers?
Hey Sorry To Be Off Topic But Who Is EXCITED FOR THE SEASON 7 OF GILMORE GIRLS!!!!! I Am So Excited! And I Do Agree They Look Alot Alike And I Think Its Bad They Took Out GG Away From Us. Now They Will Get Mized Up On What We Are Talking About. ( Gilmore Girls/ Gossip Girls?) WTF? Honestly. I Miss Our Girls..
WHAT. IN. THE. WORLD. ARE. YOU. GUYS. TALKING. ABOUT?
Gossip Girl IS THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF GILMORE GIRLS. Don’t flatter your show. Yes, they share the intials GG. They share the Girls as their second word. But they are nothing alike.
Yes. There is a private school involved but in NO WAY is Gossip Girl even COMPARABLE to Gilmore Girls.
Gilmore Girls is based on a cozy, tight-knit town called STARS HOLLOW. Revolving around a mother/daughter relationship.
Gossip Girl is based on Upper New York - Manhattan’s elite, rich girls. Gossip. Backstabbing. Etc.
The Asian girl isn’t even a main character, she’s just a little friend. And Blair is NOTHING like Rory AT ALL.
GEEZ!
I will be more disappointed in the CW if Gossip Girls is anywhere near Gilmore Girls. They are trying to keep the Gilmore Girls viewers, I dont know about you guys but Gilmore Girls will be a tough act to follow.
gilmore girls was a one of a kind show, gossip girl is based on the series by cecily von zieger or something like that! so technically they couldnt name it something else and it wont be replacing gg
what the heck, obviously they both attend boarding school so their gonna have some what of the sam uniforms, gosh ! and gossip girl is gonna be way better that gilmore girls. Gilmore girls is so boring and slow while gossip girl is drama packed. So quit complaining cause obviously gossip girl is gonna win!!!!
Lill and Sherly, we get it you’re not fans.
First of all (Sherly), Rory never went to a “BOARDING SCHOOL”, Chilton was a prep school.
Second Gilmore Girls is not “BORING AND SLOW” apparently you have not watched the show (or enough of them). Gilmore Girls is very upbeat and full of what I’m sure most people will say “real life” drama. I’m sorry but “fast pace rollercoaster soap opera” drama gets old quick. Gossip Girls is going to be a soap opera for teens. I’m putting it in the same category as Dawnson Creek, 90210, Melrose Place, and Party of Five. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they were bad shows or anything like that (and I’m not saying that Gossip Girls won’t be a good show), what I am saying is they are nothing like Gilmore Girls. Gilmore Girls appeals to a larger demographic than I believe Gossip Girls will or any of these other shows did.
Finally, (Lill) if you understood, most fans are just comparing the “physical” resemblances of the characters, and not the shows content. The fact is they are very “COMPARABLE” in that sense.
Oh yeah and yes we can “FLATTER OUR SHOW”, it’s part of being a real fan!
Katy & Isabel (in Gossip Girl picture, next to Blair - who’s in the middle) are more like louise and madeline. In one of the first episodes paris, louise and madeline are standing on the stairs, just trying to impress rory. I think that would be more alike. But the uniform is almost the same! Soooo freaky.

damn it, this Gilmore Girls is so special and no other show will be better than GG!
Well, I agree…at the 1st look it really seems like Rory and Lane + an other girl standing there. But it’s really not a copy. I read the first 2 books of Gossip girl and it’s really not the same! You’ll see when the show’s up on TV.
Gossip Girl will be nothing like Gilmore Girls, Sure the picture may seem like it is copying the show, but they are two completely different shows! Have any of you guys read the Gossip Girl books??
