Did you see the new 90210? Thoughts?

Question

So I saw the premiere of the new 90210. I grew up watching the old one. Yea, yea, I know, for a straight guy, kind of embarrassing, what can I say? I was a high school sophomore at that time.

This one was ok. It didn't feel like 90210 at all. It seems like any other teen drama, they just slapped the zip code on to it. What's the biggest difference between this and the old one?? There's actually a BLACK GUY in Beverly Hills!! LOL. The only black people in the old one, where from the hood, some ghetto high school Brandon went to one time, LOL. Jennie Garth aka Kelly!!! She is SUPER HOT!! I always thought she was pretty, but she has gotten way hotter with age. Brenda Walsh unfortunately isn't aging well. She's still cute, but she's noticeably older. Your thoughts?

Answer 1

I felt like I was watching Gossip Girl, except Gossip girl is way better.

Answer 2

I really liked it and I am a die hard BH 90210 fan and have seen probably every episode from the ten seasons AT LEAST 3 times!!!  The thing I loved about it was that it was modern, but still had some aspects of the original series.  I love that Kelly and Brenda are back and I like that Erin Silver is one of the main characters.  Kelly's mom will be on next week!  I will be watching...I'm hooked!

Answer 3

I also grew up watching the original, I was not impressed with the 2 hour premier... hopefully it will get better.  

Answer 4

I really liked it. Brenda is ugly and always will be....and always was...she was always the one I hated the most on the show. Kelly is the greatest and so is Rob Estes from Melrose Place (the original spin off show from 90210) and Lori Loughlin. It doesn't feel like the old show and I'm glad...people were tired of that. I love the new show.

Answer 5

well we all know it will never replace the old beverly hills with all the orginal cast, but i liked it.

i was just really happy to see shannen doherty, i was waiting for her to appear. but overall its not bad but the original is better.

and yes, i do kinda agree that this show seems like any other teen show, like the oc, one tree hill, etc.

Answer 6

Dido. I grew up with the original show too. This one is alot different than that one. It kind of reminded me of The OC in a way, what with  the McMansion. I know I was surprised to see a Black Guy on the show too. This is actually good, i liked that Hannah and Adrian are in the show and are much older than before of course. I'd like to see where this show goes, it'll never ever compare with the first but it can try.

Answer 7

I didnt see it - to me it looked like it was ost likely going to be trashy - and end up like whos sleeping with who - and thats not how 90210 once was -  

Answer 8

well after i waited an hour and a half to see it (stupid cubs game)...I watched for 20 mins and got sleepy...so Ill have to see it again this weekend before Tuesday's episode....I was looking forward to it all year...but I think b/c of what time it aired in Chicago...I lost interest and I shouldnt have....
