1. Betty and Jughead are the new Chuck and Blair
First off let me just start off by saying one word; Bughead. I did not like that ship name what so ever when I first heard it, but I am so in love with Betty and Jughead's relationship that I am just going to have to deal with it. Anyways, these two power couples relationships are different and similar at the same time. Different because Chuck and Blair are considered "high on the popular food chain" whist Betty is "the girl next door" and Jughead is the "outsider". In ways that they are similar is the fact that no one would have thought that these two couples would have ended up together in the beginning, but now that they have, of course we can only just beg for more Bughead scenes. (Sorry no more Chuck and Blair due to GG not airing anymore).
2. They are KILLER shows, with great plot lines
I say the word killer in all caps because they are both amazing shows with great plot lines. Killer in regards towards Riverdale is obviously the fact that there was a murderer on the life when now entering into Season 2, there is someone who shot Archie's dad out there somewhere and Archie is scared. In GG, Chuck got shot, Serena got drugged, people have died. It was just a whirl wind of plot lines that really kept you inching out of your seat.
3. Bromancing in both shows
In Riverdale, there is Jughead and Archie and in GG, there is Chuck and Nate. Bromancing is just the best thing in the world because I mean they are best friends. They look out for each other, they hug, they love each other, they share secrets, they have their ups and downs, etc.
4. Brunette and Blonde's inseparable bond
Betty and Veronica's friendship in Riverdale is very much like Serena and Blair's in GG. They have their ups and their downs, they like the same boy at one point, but in the end they have each other's backs like no other. They will go the extra mile and take down anyone in their path if they get in the way of helping their best friend. They both have the kind of awesome, yet sometimes unhealthy friendship that most girls dream of having.
5. You will be waiting by the TV every Wednesday night from now until Season 2 ends
The unfortunateness of this section is the fact that GG isn't airing anymore so you cannot wait on a weeknight to see if Serena and Dan are together or what Gossip Girl has done to your favorite character this week, but the good thing is Riverdale season 2 is coming out in a few days so you will be a couch potato every Wednesday night. You will get to see Bughead's relationship and how it progresses, who shot Archie's dad, when Jughead's dad will get out of jail or if he ever does, etc. It will be a chiff hanger type of season hopefully.
