"Every Parent's Nightmare" Will Return to the Information Superhighway

Whew. The CW is finally ending what they've been calling an "experiment" — that ridiculous decision to stop streaming episodes of Gossip Girl on its website for fear of cannibalizing its television audience. After kicking off the second part of season one without free web streams, Nielsen's numbers for the show didn't exactly go up by anything significant. Instead, they did this.

No. 1 tony the tiger says:

The network is claiming their target audience is watching uploads of the show which is bullshit.

They have been tracking uploads and know that the uploads are actually just a few hundred thousand a week.

The number of people watching this show has plummeted and once it drops it can't rise again. The show is just too over the top for most people to watch it. Too racy for pre-college crowd and too cornball for college age and up.
