The CW Is Crazy for O.C. Creator's Girl
More pre-upfronts buzz coming from the fifth network: The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz's Gossip Girl pilot seems poised for pickup by the CW, having been approved to begin staffing — typically a solid tell that a show is prime-time bound. Schwartz, the Hollywood Reporter notes, received a similar green light from NBC for the other would-be series he has in play, Chuck.

I'll withhold judgment until I know more about the show. But I have to say I'm unlikely to add any new CW shows to my TV lineup based on their past performance!

Obviously I haven't seen the pilot, but really what were the chances that CW *wouldn't* pick up this show?
The creator of the biggest teen sensation in a decade plus a teen-oriented network that just lost their biggest female oriented show is pretty much a sure pick-up. I'm guessing this pilot was going to have to be pretty awful for CW not to pick it up.
Of course, that's not to say it might not be a great show, I have no idea. I'm just saying Mr. Schwartz probably wasn't holding his breath worrying about a pick-up.
