I Suck At 90210

tonight was the debut of one of the best shows from the 90s... 90210... the next generation.

now, i suck at 90210. growing up, i used to watch 90210 all the time. i even watched melrose place too, but that's another subject altogether. what can i say? i watched a lot of television growing up.

unfortunately, like most teenage tv shows... the show generally goes downhill after the teens graduate from high school... and 90210 was no different. truth be told, i'm surprised the show lasted as long as it did (10 years).

anyway, tonight was the debut of the next generation of 90210 teens... with some of the stars from the original series. might i add... what happened to kelly taylor?!? she (jennie garth) apparently has put on some weight. what happened with dancing with the stars? dancing the salsa didn't whip her into shape? say it isn't so! (for anyone curious... kelly taylor... was my favorite from the original 90210. it may be due to the fact that she was... hot... and blonde.)

regardless, the 2 hour debut was interesting to say the least. karen and i were quite excited to watch the show. we got all ready... sitting in our comfy chairs... bowl of ice cream in hand... watching the show on the new television. without spoiling things for people who have not watched the show yet, neither karen nor i were too impressed with the show. although, might i ask, where were all of these good looking women when i was growing up and attending high school? so unfair... west beverly high is so lucky. even their parents are good looking!

(the video below is the trailer to the new 90210.)


oh well. i haven't decided yet if i'll continue watching the show or not. this next generation of 90210 is just not the same. although perhaps, the original 90210 could have been just as cheesy with the whole "donna martin graduates!" and i just didn't realize it at the time because i was in high school.

maybe the new 90210 should bring back emily valentine...
