"Gossip Girl," a teenage sitcom that ran from 2007 to 2012, was highly acclaimed and well loved by many people while it was running.

"Gossip Girl" was filmed on location in New York City, so you got to see a ton of the city itself, which was awesome for the non-natives.
2. The Subjective Liking/Disliking Of Characters
Everyone had different opinions on the characters, so it was a perfect discussion topic with all your "Gossip Girl" friends to see who everyone liked. Personally, I'm a huge fan of Jenny Humphrey, though she's rather disliked by everyone else.3. The Boys
Nate, Chuck, Dan, Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, and Penn Badgley are irresistible. C'mon.4. The Quotes
"Gossip Girl" has had some of the most inspiring and amusing quotes, whether sad, funny, inspirational, or just sassy.
5. The Soundtrack
No one can deny that the soundtrack for "Gossip Girl" was amazing. They played great music, even including selections from Taylor Momsen's Band and Leighton Meester. And really, that one "Lincoln Hawk" song Rufus plays was really good.
6. The Different Couplings We Loved
There was no shortage of relationships and love triangles in "Gossip Girl," and there are definitely plenty of relationships not even on this love triangle. And you could like who you liked, regardless of if they ended up together or not. (Serena should've totally ended up with Nate though.)

The fashion and looks from "Gossip Girl" certainly still stand up today, with some of the most iconic and loved looks.
