One could argue that "Gossip Girl" defined the CW era of teen dramas, the way that shows like "Dawson's Creek" and "One Tree Hill" defined the WB era. Despite a couple of messy and polarizing later seasons, there's no denying the pop culture phenomenon that was "Gossip Girl" at its peak. Centreed on the luxe, super-dramatic lives of a group of wealthy students at an elite Upper East Side high school, the show indulged in the peak of "rich people behaving badly" TV trend. From outrageous and memorable fashions to love triangles that inspired intense debates, "Gossip Girl" was the kind of show that simply couldn't be replicated, though many tried.
