Hannah Zuckerman-Vasquez??? c'mon, a little too much of a throwback (they moved to what Iowa and now they are back in the 90210 when Andrea wasn't supposed to be there to begin with) and having Nat call to Willy in a silly little scene...no.

and Erin is now Silver, but wait since we all know Mel Silver is her dad she is technically
Silver Silver!!!!! (more probably Silver Taylor-Silver even still i think that is a gaff)

and the Nip/Tuck girl is 15 going on 16????? i don't think so. or anyone else on the show being 15ish for that matter!

and Jessica Walter's character is ailing? she is the most vibrant, witty one on the show.

still Rob Estes is surprising the hell out of me, fun and smart. the show is ok. it has to be edgier than the original i know, but that Ethan intro was just way too much and seemed so out of place at 8pm!

who knows...maybe one more week and that will be it.

the token black kid has to go... he seems like a abc afternoon special kid.... there is too much bad dialogue..


this is all typical CW

Ok i just really cared about the show for a full minute, with Jennie and Shannen together. Oh now its gone.

resinrats 09-02-08 08:36 PM

Sort of weird getting used to Rob Estes being a different character than he was on Melrose Place (which is set in the 90210 'universe'). Other than that, I like it so far.

Lori Loughlin is still pretty damn hot!

Lori Loughlin defies age and logic. She will always be hot.

I think I've had my fill of the new 90210 though. :)

I agree. I guess it was the excellent dialogue on The Wire that helped mask this kids horrible acting. He sucks. I can't believe people were actually thinking he was better than this show just because he was on The Wire. It's better than him and that's saying something.

And Rob Estes looks younger than all of the 'high school' guys.

She better be glad studio execs find her bangable, because she definitely cannot act - but she's actually one of the better actors on this show along with the cute girl that plays Erin.

No coffee money. Sweet Jesus.

mosquitobite 09-02-08 09:14 PM

I'm a dork :D

I sorta liked it :shrug:

I can't believe it was at least 18 years ago though that I watched the first one. Man it makes me feel OLD!

Hey! Maybe they could cast ME as a high school student!

Red Dog 09-02-08 09:22 PM

That was really bad. I hope they don't pay the writers for this much.

Bluelitespecial 09-02-08 09:28 PM

I don't know how anyone here could say this is a ripoff of Gossip Girl, if anything Gossip Girl is a rip off of 90210. I guess I don't understand the hate, I thought it was pretty good. You have to wonder if they will reveal who is the father of Kelly's kid.

raven56706 09-02-08 09:30 PM

lol...this feels more like what 90210 shouldnt be....

plus... wasnt this a cluster mess of problems... i hoping to see everyone being related like heroes... rotfl

what do you mean Erin is now Silver? People called her Erin a couple of times. I guess they just call her by her last name.

resinrats 09-02-08 09:44 PM

Well we sort of heard what Brandon is up to. Hopefully we hear the status of Steve, Dylon, David/Donna. It seems David & Donna should be mentioned since Donna was Kelly's best friend & David is Kelly's stepbrother/Silver's halfbrother.

Daytripper 09-02-08 09:47 PM

Yeah, the token black kid needs to go. What a stupid "PC" to do. Most of the girls are kind of cute on this show (save for that creepy girl from "Nip/Tuck"). But the guys are kind of dorky and creepy looking.

I'll give it a few weeks to see if it gets better.

For me, it was the blog/website dishing dirt on people.

dadaluholla 09-02-08 10:13 PM

If it wasn't for the tie in to old school 90210, this would have felt like a generic parody of these types of shows simply called "TEEN DRAMA". Everything has already been done by other shows, and executed a hell of a lot better. The 90210 nostalgia is going to wear off quickly, and this show is going to have nothing else to offer.

no, that is what she wants to be called as a first name. she is even billed as Erin "Silver" Silver in credits. so actually she wants to be Silver Silver.

What the hell kind of video game were the black kid and his friend playing? It looked like the lamest Xbox game ever.

shizawn 09-03-08 12:02 AM

Ugh, pretty lousy. Kelly still looked good, and a couple of the girls are hot, but it wasn't very enjoyable.

Gizmo 09-03-08 12:03 AM

Shannon packed on some pounds. Overall I enjoyed it.

riley_dude 09-03-08 12:24 AM

Maybe I am not the target audience because I thought the show was pretty horrible. Loved the Kelly/Brenda scenes for the nostalgia factor but the rest of the characters, except for Tabitha, were pretty bland.
Are kids really like that these days?
