8 Brooklyn TV Shows: How Real Are They?
Gossip Girl
This is another show that mostly takes place in Manhattan but did feature some solid Brooklyn time. It might still? But I, like everybody else, stopped watching after the second season. However, in those first two seasons, it was notable that some of the main characters (the terribly sincere Humphrey family) lived in what was called Williamsburg, but was clearly DUMBO. Which, no. I hate that. Just have them live in DUMBO. That’s not any more far fetched than any of the other stuff that the show had high school students doing. I’d go into what some of those things were, but I barely remember because the show went bad such a long time ago. It’s sad how those things happen. Not everything is The Cosby Show, you know?
Reality Score: 5/10
