90210 is the new 90210

In Pop Culture, Television by Heidi Nyburg on Monday, May 19, 2008

So here’ s a look at the “leaked” promo for the CW’s Beverly Hills 90210 spin off cleverly named 90210. By now every time you read the word “leaked” anywhere,  you should just automatically think “press release”.  The first thing we noticed about the new show is that the core cast of kids is smaller than the original cast.  Maybe that’s because the parents will have larger roles in this new version, kind of an OC-ish twist. That should be an interesting spin but we’ll still miss the solid and wise parenting skills of Jim and Cindy Walsh. Jim and Cindy could make you thankful for being grounded. As is par for the course with any new series aimed at upcoming hipster ‘tweens, the new 90210 will usher in a new wave of trendy tot names for the next generation of followers. Will the names Dixon and Silver sweep the toddler playgrounds the way Brandon and Dylan did in the late nineties? Only series renewal will tell.

Nothing will ever be the same as the original 90210 — I seriously miss that show! : ]

Eww.. Series like 90210 and OC is just not my type =D I’d rather watch One Tree Hill. At least that show grows on you. Oh well.. It’s everyone’s preference.

Have TV producers just run out of ideas and any semblance of originality? I can’t say a series has ever been successful after it’s original run.

Ugh, I must be in the minority here but I could live the rest of my life without hearing another reference to 91210-related entertainment. :)

Lol, “leaked” = “press release”. Will definitely remember that. Thanks for the post and the video to go with it. Cheers.

TV producers at the moment ran out of ideas and any impression of originality. I can’t say a series has ever been successful after it’s original sprint. This would be awesome.

I think those in 90210 now have a show called swingers. They start it by saying, do you know where your parents are. TV has just gone to mostly trash, especially when they cancel good shows like Jericho and others like it.

Same game, only the faces have changed. I gotta wonder though, why they bother keeping the same name. Is it even a brand that their demographic will know?

I never saw the original show but might check this one out. Looks a bit interesting to say the least.

I loved the old 90210 when I was in high school. I can’t believe they are making a new one. Being a girl I might get sucked in to the soap opera drama of it all, but I don’t think they can ever beat the original. Think this one will be on as long as the original all the way until they have weddings and get married?!?

I love the original 90210, but that ended like 10 years ago? I might be to old for this new spin off.

This maybe a little sad, but I don’t think I ever saw the show!

I hated 90210 after the second year on TV and I am sure to hate it now. And this is coming from someone related to a 90210 cast member (Lindsay Price) I think this show may last 7 erpsiodes at the most.

I’m looking foward to the new series, but it may take some time to get to Australia! I hope they put a bit of a spin on the new one…

I’ll probably check out the new series, but usually sequel television series do very poorly.

Is Hollywood really that devoid of new ideas and plots that they have to keep remaking things? No sequel or spin off will ever come close to the original 90210. I am sorry for the people involved but I really hope this show tanks quickly and is yanked off the air.

Come on man, it took us like 10 years to get rid of the first show. Now it’s back.

I saw the preview for this series and I don’t think it will come close to the original series.

I have to admit that I was a big fan of the original 90210 but highly doubt this new series will have the same following.

I still prefer the original 90210. It was one of my favorite shows at that time. I still love the Kelly and Brenda characters.

Really? Does anyone really want to watch 90210? I certainly don’t!

My freinds an I too liked this series 90210 very much. Kelly was amazing in that series.

I never really got into it but I wonder if David will come back? I hear Brian Austin Green wasn’t asked to do the show but he could always save face by saying he’s in the Sarah Connor Chronicles Terminator. And I also hear that Tori Spelling is trying to get her husband on the show as well. I hope she doesn’t get her way. It would be so tacky.

blah… 90210 was lame, and i’m sure this will be lame as well :)

I’m ashamed to say that I watched the original. It wasn’t bad but this one will be unwatchable.

It’s gonna have a hard time living up to the original. Isn’t it amazing that they wore Ray-Bans in the original, and now they’re back again!

Um, maybe I’ve just gotten older, but was the original this dorky? I watched the Youtube video and my first thought was that it was a spoof. What a stupid voice over. How cliche can you get with the cast. And then I found out it was for real. Holy crap.

I USED TO LOVE THAT SHOW BACK IN THE DAYS, CANT WAIT TO WATCH THE NEW CAST, COOL!!

I wished for this to happen… but as a the old 90210 follower this time i can certianky say that the parents are much good looking than the kids… isn’t that surprsing… ;-)
