So I will publicly confess my undying devotion to the CW network.  I am, in fact, mildly obsessed with any show that features gossipy girls, couples making up and breaking up, and silly pop music.  Which is why I am incredibly excited for the premieres of Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, as well as the exciting debut of 90210.

First up… Gossip Girl, Monday, Sept. 1st, 8pm PT/EST.

This wealthy pack of Manhattan teens left us last spring with some mysterious cliffhangers.  Will Dan and Serena keep true to their word and stay away from each other all summer?  Will Serena jump into the arms of her ex-lover, Nate (as much of a “lover” you can have in high school)?  What about Dan and Vanessa?  Will Dan’s summer away from the “brat pack” cause him fall back into his past and crawl back to Vanessa?  Will Chuck stand up Blair and go back to his bad boy ways?  How is Blair going to take this rejection?  What about little Jenny, who has been grounded virtually forever?  I can’t wait to see how this plays out and find out about their summer in the Hamptons!  One thing is for sure, this show will, once again, definitely be my inspiration for fall shopping.

Next… One Tree Hill, Monday, Sept. 1st, 9pm PT/EST.

Talk about suspense.  I could honestly care less about the sappy Scott family, or odd couple Millicent and Marvin.  Who did Lucas call from the airport and ask to accompany him to a Vegas wedding chapel? Peyton, Brooke, or Lindsey?  My personal choice would be Peyton - after she wrote the words “I will always love you” on the gravel of his basketball court, my heart melted and the romantic in me took over and wanted him to get married to her right then and there.

And drumroll… 90210, Tuesday, Sept. 2nd, 9pm PT/EST.

I am actually nervous about this one.  The suspense I have been building ever since rumors started to fly about this show will hopefully my expectations.  Some say that this looks like just another OC, in which case I will be supremely disappointed.  I’m not sure that anyone live up to the Brandon/Brenda duo?  While growing up, I felt like I actually knew the cast of Beverly Hills 90210.  How can they ever be replaced?!

The first two night of my week are already taken up by “trashy” TV.  What comes next?

I don’t know about you, but being stuck in an air-conditioned bedroom night after night leaves me missing my old TV shows. Call me crazy, but “I Survived a Japanese Game Show” is just not cutting it for me. Here are some juicy details to keep us looking forward to the Fall 2008 TV schedule.

Brenda returns to 90210

Shannen Doherty will return to her old role as the now-grown Brenda Walsh. She will be joining Jennie Garth and possibly even Tori Spelling in this reprise. All these girls together on the same set? There’s sure to be drama.

No more Izzy?

Recently, Katherine Heigl pulled out of this year’s Emmy’s contention, stating that she wasn’t given a challenging enough role last season (I don’t disagree, anyone see the episode where she gave a deer CPR?). Now, there is talk that she may be killed off the show, possibly from a brain tumor. This is purely rumored, but after Isiah Washington left the show so abruptly after his “f-word”: stint, I don’t doubt it. Another possibility is that the writers took what she said to heart and she will not die, but still be diagnosed with a tumor on the show. Stay tuned …

“Friends” meets “Scrubs” 

Courtney Cox has been signed on to join the cast of “Scrubs” for at least three episodes, marking its move from NBC to ABC. We hope it fares better than her last show, “Dirt”, which aired on FX last season. The pilot was nixed after barely a season. Although I can’t imagine a “Scrubs” episode without JD, Zach Braff’s character. Zach has been rumored to have left the show, although he may return as a guest star for a couple of episodes.  We’ll keep you posted on what else we hear …
