bad tv alert!
hey, everyone! have you heard of the NEW Beverly Hills, 90210? i had heard some rumors about it a few months ago but i kind of forgot about it until today, when i found the rather horrible looking trailer for it. (you can see it for yourself here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU7EjzF1RJk) i noticed they've done a "cool" version of the song, complete with the "air punches" in the beginning. it looks like it's going to be awful. it's obviously going to try to compete with Gossip Girl, and to that i say who cares. the original 90210 is what it's all about! was there anything like it when it came out? i don't remember for sure, but i don't think so. by now we've had all the teen dramas the WB has been shoving down our throat, plus the OC and let's not forget the awesome 90210 spinoff, Melrose Place (which i've already posted about so i won't get into that too much).
in the new BH 90210 (which i think is going to be referred to only as "90210"), lori laughlin plays the mom, and she assures us that she's almost as cool as the kids! oh yikes. does this mean we're going to have a Very Special Episode where she gets high on Mommy's Little Helpers and we all learn that Drugs Are Bad? and jessica walters is in it! talk about a letdown after Arrested Development. i might actually watch it just to see her. i'm sure all the "kids" will be annoying to the nth degree however. i mean, they are in the original too, but that's what makes it great. it wouldn't be nearly as interesting without drunk dylan, shrill brenda and toolish brandon. and let's not forget steve's mullet!
want more evidence that the show is going to suck eggs? i leave you with the tagline:
you wanna live in the zip
you gotta live by the code
man, it's so true.
