‘GIRL’ POWERS THE CW
YOU go, “Girl.”
Monday’s episode of “Gossip Girl” shattered series records across-the-board, including all key demos and total viewers (3.7 million).
The episode centered in a citywide blackout – and also featured the mutual breakup of Serena (Blake Lively) and Dan (Penn Badgley), who hopefully can work things out and get back together (they’re sooooo in love with each other).
Monday’s episode beat the series’ previous best by a whopping 27 percent in women 18-34 – the show’s core audience – and by 30 percent in women 18-49.
The success of “Gossip Girl” also spilled over into “One Tree Hill,” which snared its best numbers in women 18-34 and adults 18-34 in almost two years.
The success of “Gossip Girl” and “One Tree Hill” helped The CW record the best Monday-night numbers in its history among women viewers.
