A while ago (I don't remember exactly how far in the past), the CW network which shows GG stopped putting the episodes online. For a month or two (or more...I'm not sure), my inner vapid trashy-tv-loving girly girl was very upset because I had to watch the episodes I missed on sidereel.com with chinese subtitles. Then, low and behold, Gossip Girl reappeared on CWTV.com, and all was right with the world. I wonder if the show's online return had anything to do with the p2p distribution/illegal online availability... It’s interesting that Gossip Girl has benefited from having online resources.

Of course, if one were to use a large monitor that looked like a TV screen, such viewing would still be possible...for the time being.
