90210 (The CW) -- Discussion Thread -- Reboot of '90s Series
Tuesday, September 2nd - The CW - 2 hour Event
Synopsis of the show in General
Spoiler:
Synopsis for Tuesday's 2 hour premiere "We're not in Kansas anymore; The Jet Set"
Spoiler:
While this thread is being started a day early, SoapNet will be running a 24 hour marathon on some of the best, classic 90210 episodes. Its a good way to play catchup with some of our favorite stars before they show up on Tuesday...
If you happen to miss Tuesdays episode, The CW will be replaying it again Thursday 8 -10 as well.
Currently we have two different threads discussing the show:

Actually its more like two days early. Monday and Tuesday night will be a busy night of tv, with Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Big Brother, and 90210.

Well, the other threads can probably die now since we are heading into the fall season with actual episode discussion. I'm really psyched especially after seeing the sexy Entertainment Weekly cover with Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty.
Monday and Tuesday are going to be really busy and fun nights of TV.

i honestly can't believe i'm gonna actually watch this. I never watched the original. only reason i'm even giving this a chance becasue of Rob Thomas' name on the project.

Actually he's not involved with this show anymore. Jeff Judah and Gabe Sachs, who produced Freaks and Geeks, took over as head writers and Producers. Thomas was only involved in developing the pilot, then left the show.

Due to baseball on WGN, the premiere won't start to air in Chicago until 10:30 or 11:00 (normal timeslot would be 7:00-9:00)
But here's a plus, two viewers will win $9021.00

midnight. Suggestion, watch 90210 on Tuesday and then watch Tuesdays Big Brother
online - if you decide to watch Thursdays Big Brother online - they may spoil who gets
evicted from the house somewhere on the site (front page?) before you get to the
video.
LB...

That sucks for the folks in Chicago! Better cross your fingers that the Cubs game doesn't go into Extra Innings. The ratings in Chicago are going to suck and alot of DVR users are going to get burned unless the game ends at a reasonable hour.

I'll give this a shot. I did enjoy the original 90210 for a couple of the high school years. And some of these actors look like they could actually pass for teenagers, so that's an improvement right there.

Yeah, WGN is our CW affiliate. Trust me, more people would be pissed if the Cubs weren't on. And yeah, even with Chicago being the 3rd biggest market in the US the ratings will probably blow. Personally, everyone I know thats watching is gonna be DVRing the thing. I don't know if that helps with ratings though.

i'm gonna watch though i have low expectations. i watched the original ever since it was broadcast that one summer when nothing else was on. they did that and i w as hooked. i watch Soapnet 5-7 now bc they restarted from the beginning. i love it!! saw some of the marathon, but didn't want to ruin the eps. weekly even though i've seen now a million times.
don't think this new one will even come close to recapturing the magic. it will be more geared to the Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill crowd which i am far from.
i hope to be pleasantly surprised, but i don't think so.

I'm sure this will be on Xbox Live. I'll just download it from there if I hear enough good buzz about it. But I didn't even watch the original, so I'm not exactly holding out a lot of hope for this one. Could be wrong, though.

Ratings for the Cubs game will probably be double what any CW show in that time slot could do.

This started about 30 minutes ago in my market, and I am very surprised at the amount of people that I recognize, and I am not talking about the former 90210ers.
Lucille Bluth, Sam's devil girlfriend from Reaper, and Eve from Nip/Tuck, if they are all who I think they are.

I hate the chick from Nip/Tuck, I thought she looked super OLD on that show and now she's playing high school again - this really IS 90210! Hopefully I can get past her awfulness and enjoy the show.
