I wouldn’t label 90210 as anywhere near good. Luckily for them, though, I enjoy a good cheesefest every once in a while.

Besides the shout-outs to the original (I nearly got misty-eyed when Nat first appeared on the screen, to say nothing of the Kelly/Brenda reunion at the Pit), the best part for me was definitely the adults. I’m way more in to them than the teenagers. Not sure if that says something about my age or the fact that, like you TVA, the original BH,90210 is 110% responsible for my current all-consuming TV addiction. Had it not been for that show, I wouldn’t have ever watched Melrose Place. Then, that led to the short-lived Models, Inc. Eventually, I was always hanging w/ my good friends Buffy, Dawson, and Rory and, the rest, as they say….

With my ever-crowded DVR, not sure if this one will make it to the final lineup. If not for Nat, Kelly, and Brenda being back, I would have already canceled the recordings.

I don’t know if the new show has to re-invent the wheel though. Yes, Dawson’s and The OC evolved the “teen” drama. I guess what I liked about the new 90210 was that it was comfortable. It was like meeting up with a old friend. It felt like the old show – I liked that.

My only complaint is that maybe too much went on in the first showing. Dixon getting on the Lacrosse team- then getting involved in the the prank. You know what I mean.
Speaking of Dixon, I really thought they he and Annie made a good brother and sister. I think we will see how they became a family — he talked how he didn’t want to have to tell the story over and over- so there is a story

Loved Silver, she seems like a great character. I want to know more about her. I loved the interaction between Kelly and Silver and want more.

In the original there was moments between Steve and Brandon- their joking, the way they talked it was true friendship. Anyone know what I mean? Anyways the moment Kelly took that food from Silver really reminded me of those moments. I loved kelly and Brenda meeting up and want more of both those characters.

I think the new kids did a good job and can’t wait to get to know them. I think that we’ve just seen two episodes so we don’t know the full potential of the show yet. I can’t wait for next Tuesday

Plus, for me the draw about the new 90210 is the adults. In the original it was all about the kids, Jim and Pam never had a story unless it involved the kids. I watch GG for Rufus and Lily as much as S, B, D, and C so I’ll be watching to learn who’s the father of Kelly’s baby, whether Brenda will stick around, and who Nat’s going to hire to help him make macchiatos.
