We watched the all new 90210 last night. I was a big fan of the original show, in fact I own the first 4 seasons and am waiting for season 5 to go on sale so I can get it. This new show is odd. They talk alot of body parts and the main girl meets a rich guy and flies off to San Francisco for dinner with him and then of course her parents find out and she gets grounded. Kelly Talyor (Jennie Garth) plays the school guidance counsler and her younger sister Erin Silver now goes to West Beverly. Brenda Walsh (Shannen Dougherty yeah however her name is spelled) comes back to BH to visit Kelly. And Kelly has a 4 year old boy, but no father in sight, from what I have read the father will turn out to be Dylan McKay, who is also supposed to come back, but he is not in the kids life right now...hum sounds like the original shows were Dylan's father was not around because he was either running from the police or in jail. The surprising thing was Hannah Zuckerman-Valsquez, Andrea and Jesse's daughter, who if I remember right is about 2 years younger than Erin Silver in the original series...anyway Hannah is a journalism person, just like her mom, and made a small appearance very quickly when the show started. She was doing the West Beverly High news on the school tv channel...Jeremy and I caught her name right away and started laughing. Donna Martin-Silver (Tori Spelling, remember she married David Silver on the last episode) is supposed to come back sometime in the future which means that David better come back too. And then if they are going to do that then they need to bring back the entire original cast. I was very excited to see that the Peach Pit is still around, even the original Nat was there, but now the Peach Pit looks like a Starbucks. Of course all the kids still go there and drink coffee.
We will watch the next few episodes to decide if we are going to like it or not. I do have to wonder how the ratings were and if the show will make it as good as the first series did. Did anybody else watch it last night???

We watched it too. First, as a parent, I have to say that it is absolutely disgusting that people in this world think it is O.K. to put some of the things that were on that episode in a television show that is aiming on the tween audience.
Second, it was awful. The acting was mediocre at best and they haven't quite figured out their core audience. They included the gratuitous sex scenes to try and hook that younger audiences but also had the drunk grandma walking through a scene to make a reference to Ricardo Montobon.
Finally, I think you will see most, if not all, of the original cast return at some point. They are all pretty much unemployed and happy to have the work.
We had set out Tivo to record the show. We will be deleting it.
4.9 million viewers. and had a 2.6 rating among viewers of 18-40 years old...
but because i am 20 i totally enjoyed this show. lol. i have watched all of the old episodes from the original show -- and i am excited to see what is going to happen this season!
