Spinning Off

This week, TV blogs were abuzz with news of two spinoffs of very popular programmes. To me, spinoffs are annoying, but the GG one does excite me. Let's investigate.

• Gossip Girl- OMFG!?! Supposedly, Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen) is going to actually follow the plot line of the novels by getting her own series (and that in itself deserves an OMG.) But creator Josh Schwartz denies it; but a CW executive says it's in consideration if season 2 does well. I guess we'll have to wait to find out, but I think Chuck (Ed Westwick) would make a much more funny and interesting main character, no?
  
• The Office- Though I could care less, the comedy's spinoff is actually happening (it's not just a rumor, like the previous) but many still speculate that Rashida Jones (whom I adore) will join the cast; nothing's confirmed. And article does state, "It's unlikely that any current Office characters will jump to the new show."
  
  

With that, we viewers are left to speculate and wonder about what the Fall season holds...
