I’ll be honest. I wasn’t going to watch this new incarnation of 90210. When I first heard about it, I was appalled. As a huge fan of the original, I couldn’t believe they were going to ruin something so iconic by updating it with a nip here and a tuck there. I vowed that I would do anything possible to make sure this show didn’t make it past episode five.
But then summer came, the ads popped up everywhere, Kelly and Brenda buried the hatchet and agreed to play nice, and all of a sudden I was curious. And we all know what curiosity does. It makes you sit in front of the TV on a Tuesday night to catch the 2-hour series premiere of the new 90210. And away we go with the randomness…
We ain't in Kansas anymore, boys and girls. Thank goodness, 'cause KU sucks. (Rivalries run deep.)
I love me some Rob Estes! He might have something to do with being swayed to the dark side.
BJs in the parking lot? Wow, WBH has changed.
Hannah Zuckerman-Vasquez! She’s all grown up. I hope Andrea makes an appearance.
How do Kelly and Principal Harry know each other? I don’t remember that Photo-shopped picture.
Damn, the girls are bitchier. I thought Kelly and Brenda were bad, but these girls would eat them up.
What’s up with the CW green everywhere? Subliminal messaging through color?
They totally stole the music sticker thing from OTH. Yes, music creates special bonds, but couldn’t you have picked something other than a sticker?
Erin Silver! I love all the connections. Wait, isn’t she supposed to be a few years older than Hannah?
The Peach Pit is back! Yay! I love Nat.
OMG...it's Gossip Girl! I couldn't resist--first thing that came to mind.
Naïve new girl…do not give her the paper. She totally played you. But then again, she got hers in the end. Karma sucks.
Not sure how I feel about crazy grandma.
Who’s stupid enough to leave behind their Chanel purse at a club? BTW…really not interested in druggie wannabe actress. Maybe they’ll give me a reason to care.
Principal’s kids getting busted left and right—just like those sweet-as-pie Walsh kids.
Woah…didn’t see that coming. Principal Harry has a son? Really didn’t see this coming…Kelly has a kid? Who’s the dad? Looks like Steve’s. I thought she couldn’t have kids.
Teens driving a Bentley?! Private planes? What happened to the Corvette with the I8A4RE vanity plates?
Brenda! Wow, she’s looking a little rough. What’s up with her mouth/teeth? Brandon in Belize? Oh those crazy Walsh kids. Is it bad that I’m more interested in the old 90210ers than the new ones?
Does anyone else think that Ty is gay? Every teen show has to have one in the closet. I think it’s him.
These girls are way too skinny. They didn’t get that skinny in the original until the third season.
I really hope Kelly and Brenda don’t get into another love triangle with the La Crosse coach.
Awwwwww to the last scene. I think that made me a little excited for the next ep.
Overall, not as good as Gossip Girl, but I’ll give it a chance for a little bit. I love how there are little tidbits only true BH 90210ers would know. That may be enough for me to keep watching. Hopefully they’ll be able to work out issues with Tori so we can get Donna back. Oh…and yay to Jackie showing up next week! Hell, let’s make it a Silver-Taylor family reunion and get David and Mel back. Man, I sound like a convert.
