Was I a fan of the original 90210? I won’t lie, yes I was. But I lost interest shortly after their high school graduation and tuned in again for Donna and David’s wedding. What? It was the end of an era! Looking back, I likely lost interest because I was old enough to have a life, but remember becoming bored. So unlike most fans I DID NOT want the 90210 remix to be like the original. Don’t get me wrong, I still catch reruns on Soap Network (even post-high school epis), but I didn’t have any delusions of an amazing pilot or the sky opening up and angels shining down on the next great series. I mean, if the Friends pilot struggled, what could I expect? Well, except maybe a morsel of Brian Austin Green. But, enough girl talk.
What did I like? I liked Silver’s character. And Annie’s grandma. Dixon’s character is on the fence. If annoyingly perfect is on one side and normal teenage boy is on the other, he’s leaning over the edge to annoying-but still has a foot, or at least a shoe lace, dangling over in normaldom. Hopefully, he’ll be less like Brandon (my least-fave 90201 orig) and more like, well, NOT a former 90210 character. I wish I had liked Annie’s character more. She used to be on Degrassi: Next Generation, my current bestie when it comes to teen dramas. But she’s not in Canada, or Kansas, anymore! And do I watch too much Hills or why am I craving me a little crazy? What’s a teen drama without some crazy stirring the pot?
As for all of the old people (yes, Kelly, Brenda, Becky Katsopolis/Annie’s mom, and the like, I’m talking about you!), enough with their story lines. BORING! I’m here for a teen drama and teen angst. Not to watch old people have semi-daddyless children. But I digress.
Cut to commercial and I start to wonder whether 90210 will still be on the air for its two year birthday on 9-02-10. Then I start to wonder what other fun things I can do with the numbers 90210. I jump online to see what my employer, The B-Dub (BWCU), is offering for 2-year CD rates. And if I put $902.10 in a two year CD (renewing on 9-02-10, natch) I could have $958.93. Not enough to throw a party Naomi-style, but more than enough for a chill party!
