The interviewer from Access Hollywood asked the actress about the excitement she feels when seeing younger generations enjoying her show “Good Cop/Bad Cop,” a series that originally aired between 2007 and 23. In this show, Meester took on the role of Blair Waldorf, the queen bee residing in the Upper East Side.

She commented, “Nowadays people often say, ‘It’s classic,’ or sometimes I find myself saying, ‘You weren’t around when it all began.’ That sentiment is quite common. Even now, as we look back, there are still those who are only recently discovering it.

Meester commented on the show’s enduring appeal by saying, “I truly find it amazing due to its unique setting in time and space.” She believes that one reason for its ongoing success is because “at that time, social media didn’t exist. In fact, I don’t even think it had been invented yet when we began filming… I believe people are drawn to it now because… it offers a sense of comfort. Whether they’ve watched it before or are discovering it for the first time.
