The NEW 90210
 

We know that Jennie Garth's returning as a teacher at West Bev, and Tori is returning too. The latest news is that SHANNEN will be in the show too. Brenda is going to be guest directing the West Bev play. Will you guys be watching the new show?

I'll definitely give it a try!

Well, since I couldn't stomach the old one . . .

no.

The theme music started playing in my head when I saw the title of the thread.

I can't wait for Brenda!

Wasn't Shannon very drama when the show was airing in the 90's? Didn't her and Jennie Garth hate each other?

Donna Martin Graduates! Donna Martin Graduates!

tv is retarded

Stupid question, buuuut....

Is the theme song that they play on the "new 90210" commercial just a modernized version of the old show's theme? I never saw the original 90210.

LOL!

New Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC7r3XX4_Bw

Old Intro (definitely from a later season): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGxchXYuEZo

I tried looking them up on YouTube, but this computer lab has an outdated version of flash, so it won't let me see/hear anything :mad:

That new song, though, seems to be constantly stuck in my head...

Edit - I was finally was able to hear them both. I think I'll watch this show just so I can hear the "new" song :p

Who is watching?

30 seconds in and im bored...

yo, im so not interested. but the black dude is gay, maybe that's promising. still sounds like every other teen show out right now.

Yup, the new song is a rehash of the old OP.

And high school ended 13 years ago for me. I watched the old 90210. The whole show seems so 90s.

I watched the first two parts of it, but decided to watch House instead.

wait, he's gay?

Are you serious?

thats what it sounded like... talking about some guy he plays lacrosse with. but maybe i am fabricating. but it really sounds like hes in the closet, or just not out to the guy?

p.s. id MUCH rather watch 90210 when Donna was losing her virginity or something, not this pretty-kids-with-problems mess.

Damn my short attention span.....

It's pretty craptastic so far. I'm only watching the first episode out of the curiosity factor.


The picture quality is also horrendous.

Booooo! I like it a lot!

It is Degrassi-like to me.

its sad cause Gossip Girl is better than this. i pity anyone who watches this after tonight.

crap! isnt greek on?

I'm trying to like this show, b/c I loved the old 90210... but so far haven't seen anything that makes this show any different than the 100 other teen dramas on TV.

LMAO she said bitchlips! I love it!

I'm on the fence about it. And it seems VERY Degrassi to me. Maybe cuz what's her face was on Degrassi.

That too.

Plus, it's over the top like Degrassi is. I love melodramatic teen angst shows. Sorta like Melanie told Kathleen in Classic Degrassi:

"You're an anorexic, your mother's an alcoholic, and your boyfriend beat you uu-uup!"

Yeah, gimma all that!

she was the chick with the baby by JT, yes?

I really liked the first hour. They had some funny nods to the original....like Hannah Zuckerman (Andrea's kid) being the school news anchor and looking like a 30 yr old, just like her mother. The Degrassi girl is a bit too "extra" for me, but cute. The rest of the cast is good. Loved Shannen and Jennie's cameos. The grandma is hilarious. The second hour fizzled out, but I'll give the show a shot. Btw, Dixon (the black guy) isn't gay. He was talking about girls and checking them out at the party and the porn shoot.

The Hannah line was totally for us Old Schoolers!

I missed some of it. Did they explain who Kelly's son's father was? Or who she married? Or any of the "where are they now" answers regarding the old cast? I know Brandon is in Belize but they didn't say why.

Thanks!

She was the religious one who turned Spinner into a good guy. Had that online website to raise money for the cheerleaders and then some creepo pedophile tried coming after her. I haven't watched Degrassi in forever cuz Comcast regular cable ditched The N a while back.

I was wondering that too, someone give us the scoop!

The babydaddy is still a mystery. Signs are pointing to either Dylan or Brandon (more leaning towards Brandon, since Kelly brought him up when talking to Brenda in last night's episode), but at least one poster at TWOP said that Sammy's hair reminds them of Steve (which means that Steve was cheating on Janet). Who knows? Could be any of those guys....or a surprise!

Saw two seconds of some girls singing on a stage. Flipped the channel.

Well I don't think it's anyone we know b/c in the cafeteria scene the one teacher was hitting on her and he said Kelly Taylor and then she said it's Matthews now.

So that possibly takes out Dylan and Matt, who were at the end of the old show.

oh, and in the scenes for the next episode... I think Kelly was arguing with her mom and said something about "I'm not going to let you ruin her life like you ruined mine" (or something like that) ... were they talking about her half-sister, Erin? (the baby Jackie had with David's dad Mel) Is she going to be one of the HS kids?

Yes. Erin is on the show. Erin=Silver.

Missed the first episode while working the GOP Convention, but love that they've brought in Erin Silver. Good thinking.

Regarding Erin Silver = last we saw her, she was a blonde little girl. Nice to see how they've changed things up. I'm thinking Hannah Zuckerman-Vasquez won't have too much of a big part in the new 90210 since Gabrielle Carteris hasn't said anything about going back to reprise her role as Andrea. The gal playing Hannah was Dr. Greene's daughter on ER (Rachel).

I know I'm in the minority here, but I liked it. Probably because of Hot Dad and Hot Teacher. I know I'm a lot older when I find myself drooling over the cast's adult characters. Although Ethan's not too bad looking...

I have a feeling Hot Dad's son goes to West Beverly. It'd be really funny if the daughter ends up hooking up with him, not knowing he's really her brother.

Hot dad's son would be about 20, as he is older than Naomi's older sister who is in college.

Flipping around during commercials on Private Practice, landed on 90210 for about 45 seconds. Wow. Bad acting. Bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD acting.

I watched part of it last night, for the first time. I'm on the fence - the Kelly/Brenda part keeps me more riveted than the rest of it. If/When they leave, I'll probably be gone, too.

BTW, Brenda got a phone call from Dylan, and he asked to speak to Kelly, too; the teacher who kept asking Kelly out (is that Hot Teacher?) asked Brenda who Dylan was. Brenda said, "Sammy's father." Baby Daddy found!

I missed the dialogue at one point, but I think Brenda & Dylan are still an item (even though she denied it to Kelly). Dylan does want to see his kid, though. Just like the original 90210, only with child support and real jobs!
