‘90210′ — The Reviews Are In!

‘90210′ — The Reviews Are In!

The first reviews are in from last nigiht’s two-hour premiere of the much-buzzed-about 90210. Check it.

90210 is a perfectly competent and reasonably seamless revival that understands what made the original tick (and tick and tick), while being infused (occasionally suffused) with enough contemporary touchstones to remind new viewers that this isn’t their parents’ (or at least older siblings’) trusty fave… 90210 is not a disaster, and the CW can now officially let out a deep … sigh … of relief.” — Newsday

“More than just a famous zip code, 90210 is easily the most hyped show of the fall season and the CW is banking on all of the buzz to draw in big ratings. This spinoff, eight years after the first series ended, is a pallid copy of the original fish out of water story only with shinier cars, fancier clothes and Botox aplenty.” — Variety

“All the expected ingredients were there: gorgeous teens, lots of style and extravagance, raging hormones, and always the potential for backstabbing, broken hearts and payback. Same old, same old at West Beverly Hills High School.”– AP

WHAT DID YOU THINK of the two-hour premiere of 90210 — YAY or NAY?

OMG this was the best show on t.v better then gossip girl. gossip girl need to stop up there game there a new h.b.i.c and her name is 90210

# 6

I actually thought it was kinda boring..

me and my mom were watching it (she liked the original so we were watching this one together) and we just kept on looking over at each other like.. uhh when is this supposed to get interesting.

this was the pilot episode though, so I’m not going to write the show off just yet.

I’m a huge fan of gossip girl though! :)

the shiznack @ 09/03/2008 at 12:31 am

i only watched it cus of Jessica Walter aka Lucille ‘Gangee’ Bluth

gotta say the 90210 Gangee wasnt that bad, funny too

the show was watchable and not as bad as i thought it would be

personally, i thought it was a good teen drama… but it should not be called 90210. if you had just tuned in and missed scenes with kelly, brenda and nat.. you would just think it was another oc/90210 rip-off. it may have some of the same characters and some of the babies grown up (erin silver/hannah zuckerman), but it’s just NOT 90210.

i like the characters and the actors, but they don’t live up to the hype. the whole show didn’t live up to the hype and the 2-hours just made it dull. the first hour was better.

soundtrack was good though :)
<3 jason mraz. adele. colby o’donis. <3

i actually think the oc was more like 90210 then this was.

yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!! @ 09/03/2008 at 12:38 am

oh dear god.
i love this show

i don’t know if it is quite better than gossip girl, but it is pretty good.

I was a little disappointed in the show…but, I must say…it’s sad how true it is that many of these teens you can’t tell if they’re actually teens…I thought they lack a bit of the character from the original…I’m happy that they’ve included most of the originals which would make since…but, Lori Laughlin…I got a little confused and thought I was watching a rerun of Summerland…she never changes…nor does her character stretches much…but, hey, it’s good money for her if she can get it…I liked it…I won’t knock it because I loved the original and I hope they can step it up a notch…looking at the teens today really have you thinking how jaded they’ve become before they’re 18…sad, but true…and how old they look…jeez…take off some of that makeup and overdone hair girls.

I liked it, but gossip girl is still better, but amazing show

Way better than gossip girl and OTH. I loved it!!!!

So happy seeing brenda again!

i thought this show was so boring and dumb. i didn’t like it at all. it reminds me of a racier version of sweet valley high…the issues and themes presented on this show have been recycled on so many other shows. nothing is different. it’s just the same old same old. i couldn’t get into the story at all… but i did see gossip girl yesterday and loved it. 90210 should just go away. all that hype for nothing. rating= F!

the shiznack @ 09/03/2008 at 12:53 am

the kid Dixon was in the phenomenal show The Wire

took me so long to realise it was him

Honestly, I don’t want to write this show off, but I thought I was watching the O.C. That’s not good since it’s the original O.C., But, I’ll try to give it a chance. Also, there’s the Gossip Girl factor. The only thing that separatesit from GG is the narrator. P.S. The Annie character is annoying. The kids look less troubled than the original. Maybe the acting in the original was stronger.

Fan Friggin Tastic is all I’m sayin!!!!

brooke :] @ 09/03/2008 at 1:02 am

I definitely thought it held it’s own against the original :]
I’ll watch again :]]

I liked it a lot. It’s not my favorite show but I’m definitely gonna watch it each week now.

i’m sticking with gossip girl for now. but i love seeing brenda and kelly!!

i’m sticking with gossip girl for now. but i love seeing brenda and kelly!!

IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!! I LOVE THE CAST! There’s not one person that I don’t like.

omg!! just finish it!! is was HOT!! love it!!

sully7gate @ 09/03/2008 at 1:08 am

I have to say, given that I was a fan of the original, this version is very mature and well written, not a carbon copy at all. Loved the premiere, can’t wait for more.

naomi is fugly

alexanderina @ 09/03/2008 at 1:25 am

YAY. I really really like it. It was so good to see Brenda

All teen shows are a remake of the original 90210, including Gossip Girl. None of them do anything new or interesting, but they’re just fun to watch because they’re so mindless. This was no different.

I didn’t catch the premiere but I did watch the second half. So far, it’s okay, there is nothing that blew me away. It was kind of blah, but I’ll give it a chance and watch it again next Tuesday. However, One Tree Hill had the BEST season premiere! Gossip Girl was alright, nothing ‘wow’ about it.

Razorback @ 09/03/2008 at 1:53 am

* I thought it was really good. You can’t compare the old vs. new. Different styles.

* The story line was pretty good.

* The one part that I hated was when they mentioned the unknown child and they didn’t the show the father telling his wife. I thought this was the POW scene throughout the night but they didn’t really deliver the scene like it should have been.

Overall: 7/10. Better acting (which should evolve) would make it an 8.5/10.

Horrible compared to the original. I only needed to see it once to decide I wont be watching it any further.

that Ty Collins guy is hot you know! even hotter than the ethan guy!

leighton meester fan @ 09/03/2008 at 2:06 am

I really like the new 90210 and I still love the original one.Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill were great last night also.CW has some cool shows :)

I liked it. It was the pilot so I am sure it will just get better. I like the character Naomi. So far she seems like the only one who is not so one dimensional but I am sure the other characters will become more intriguing as time goes on (hopefully). I still like Gossip Girl better but to be fair that show has been on a lot longer and its pilot wasn’t that great. So hopefully it will just get better. And love seeing Brenda and Kelly!!

This show was pretty bad I did not like it at all, i will continue to watch it to see if anything is good about it..

So far it appeals to what it wants teens with no common sense.

you go kids!

stephanie @ 09/03/2008 at 2:29 am

I didn’t watch it, I really did not care for it, but I congrats for all the good reviews. I’ll just stick to my One Tree Hill!

Idk .. it wasn’t anything special .. I mean don’t get me wrong i love shows like this .. But it’s like what’s new .. ? Guy cheats on girl . blah blah blah .. same old story .

The only reason i watched it cuz Kellan Lutz who plays Emmet in Twilight was in it ! .. and looked amazing!

as did that other guy i forgot his name though.

but not nearly as great as GG or OTH.

honestly - such a disappointment.

90210 needs a longer break to wait until gossip girl gets off the air.

peaches mahoney @ 09/03/2008 at 2:58 am

It was so-so. Brenda and Kellie were fab but the rest? Not so much

When the CW first announced the 90210 spin-off, i wasn’t really interested at all. But when they announced Annalynne McCord was cast in the show, i just had to watch it because of her role in nip/tuck (a must-see). Beautiful and talented actress. I expect great things from her in the future.

I really enjoyed the premiere, and I think the series has real potential for the CW.

http://celebritytoday.today.com

I didn’t like it or hate it. Which is an improvement over the original which I did not like at all. I just thought it was totally unnessecary and inconsequental. Which means it’s a perfect for the CW. I won’t be spending anymore time on it.

I will say I through about an hour and twenty mintues of the two pilot as opposed to the pilot of “Gossip Girl” of which I watched exactly one second of and never went back. So I would say 90210 part Deux is an improvement.

I think this is way better than the original, the original was stil good dont get me wrong, but just the acting in the new 90210 is so much better the original was like come on people are you in drama class i can act better than that. But now real actors are playing parts. I thought it was hilarious to see Andrea’s daughter and then mr mathews saying what is she 30, considering Andrea was 30 when she stared in that show LOL!!!!!!!

anyways the show was fricken fantastic and i am sorry to say it but 90210 and Gossip Girl are very different shows by far, you cant really compare them, they may be fromt he same genre but the way the show is done completely different, they each are great in their respective ways.

i thought it started out a little slow but after about 15 minutes i was really getting into it and i actually reallt liked it!

Ms. Baker @ 09/03/2008 at 4:57 am

It was good but nothing like the original. Brenda and Kelly needed more air time. They didn’t do much and looked out of place. This is definetly a teen movie for teens that are bored and have nothing to do. I see it being just like the O.C. It will probably last a little while till all the hype is over about it. They should bring Dylan and Brandon back on the show for an appearance to boost the ratings! Well I will be watching the two hour premiere of America’s Next Top Model tonight. See how that one goes!

I was faithful to the original and I watched this one. I personally thought it was boring and the same old recycled crap that’s on every other teen show. I didn’t give a rat’s ass about any of the characters. Two HUGE thumbs down.

lAZERBURGH @ 09/03/2008 at 5:13 am

Well, I liked it. Now if only they’d revival of Melrose Place…

This show is so bad that if it continues for more than one season I will be hoping for the end of the universe.

Disappointed @ 09/03/2008 at 6:56 am

I really wanted to like it - but it was SO BAD!!! I’m surprised there are so positive reviews - it was glaringly bad in my opinion.

NAY. It’s soooo boring.. : P Why is it even back!?

Nay. I think it was an insult to the original. It was rather boring. There was nothing unique about it. I thought the acting of a few of the younger cast was bad and way over the top. And it’s pretty bad when the adults are the best looking ones on a teen show.

I loved the show. Except I thought it would be a little more mirrored to today’s cultural mix. There is only one ethnic main character. There should be more of a mix. The asian culture, latino culture and more African Americans should be on the show, even as supporting characters. Like vice principal or something.

As its popularity grows I hope the producers will add more color to the cast, and not totally replicate the orginial 90210.

oldschool90210 @ 09/03/2008 at 7:57 am

it was so nice to see kelly and brenda! they’re the only reason why i watched the pilot. and i hope brandon comes back as sammy’s dad!

although, i liked the annie and dixon brother-sister relationship! and i love it that erin’s on the show. naomi is sooo not a WBH queen bee—they could’ve gotten someone better.

OMG my husband and I loved it. We laughed, the humor was great. We both grew up on the origonal! My adolescents came back in a heartbeat!! Keep in mind he is almost 40 and loved it. We plan on watching next week! Something to get excited about on Tuesdays!

CrazyDaisy @ 09/03/2008 at 8:15 am

it was bad I can’t believe anyone would like this show. The acting was so horrible.

afterdark14202 @ 09/03/2008 at 8:31 am

Show was great…great to see old friends and nice to make some new ones:) Cant wait to see the rest of the series.

i like it just as much as gossip girl.. they’re both GREAT

One aspect of this show really got under my skin. I know this might sound racial, but why does the only black guy on the show have to come from the ghetto and be adopted by white parents. It is as if the writers are suggesting that this is the only realistic way a black person could possible live in BH.

I kind of like it, it was ok. GG is better i have to admit. But I really love Kelly, I hope she stays in the show for good, and it was great that her sister was incorporated into the show.

NAY…THESE GIRLS SEEMS SO ******* AND SO ANOREXIC HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FRESH AND CLEAN GIRL LIKE SHANNEN AND JENNIE….POOR CRAP!!!!

SORRY I PREFER THE OLD ONE…
NICE TO SEE SHANNEN AND JENNIE THOUGH BUT DO NOT SUIT IN THAT SHOW AT ALL….THATS SAD….I GREW WITH THAT SHOW :(

i’ll give them an A for effort…but other than that it just really sucked! i was bored out of my mind thinking there’s 2 hours of my life i’ll never get back. i think the adults/parents/faculty are more interesting than their kids. which kind of sucks if the kids are suppose to be the “stars” of the show. the o.c. was more like 90210 than this version of 90210. i think i’ll stick with OTH and reruns of the the previous 90210 series for now. overall…gorgeous people…bad acting!!! i won’t be watching again!

This should not be called 90210. Its not really like the real show. It was not a bad show to watch, I found it interesting. But it defiantly is going to make girls feel bad about themselves, the girls are all stick thin, tall, and model like. The orginal 90210, the girls were all heathly and normal….

waiting for it to live up to the hype. With putting 10 years of my life into the orignal this one was really bad.

I liked it. I thought it was cool that the kids of the originals were part of the show., like silver, and hannah Zuckerman. Hopefully we find out what happened beween Kelly & Dylan. Did anyone find Naomi pretty? I thought she was funny looking.

I actually liked the show. I say YAY! Looking forward to seeing it next week, I think the boys are hot too!

I think they could drop that girl who was into acting and such.

IT WASNT INTERESTING AT ALL!!!! I AM A HUGE FAN OF THE ORIGINAL SERIES, AND I WAS VERY EXCITED THAT IT WAS BACK ON BUT UNFORTUNATLY THE BEST PART WAS WHEN NAT, BRENDA & KELLY WERE ON, OTHER THAN THAT ITS HORRIBLE.. THEY NEED TO BRING BACK MORE CHARACTERS FROM THE ORIGINAL SERIES FOR THIS TO BE A HIT SHOW….

IF THEY DONT I CAN GUARANTEE THEY WILL LOSE MANY IF NOT ALL VIEWERS..

The show was awesome! great music, great cast great filming. its going to be big. its awesome and so much like the old school one. In touch with all characters from mum to dad to the teens! well done.

Gossip girl is just a copy of a copy and this is so much better. its family, its life its the new 90210!

I agree with the other post # 71. It was very boring and I feel that kelly, brenda and even harry wilson were the best part of the show. Bring back the original cast.

Growing up with the original cast and show was a blast and I had to wath the premire of the new cast and hopefully the start of a wonderful adventure for a new generation. The show was deff not a replica of the orginal but had its moments letting the original shince again which I loved. Im a lot older now and I am gonna try and keep up with the new show in hopes that I will get to follow along with the older cast. But to you younger folks I hope you enjoy this 90210 as much as I did the the Beverly hills 90210. It helped me through a lot of times so enjoy it may be a little over played with the money and things but these events that they go through can relate to any one and if you want to see the original show you can go to cbs and see where all of these teen soaps started and it all began with 90210 so its good to see a rebirth of the begining

I am a mother of a teenage parent and thought about watching this show with my teenager because the original 90210 had some good story lines and messages. Thank god I didnt. I am writting a letter to the CW to have this show taken off the air. It is on at 8:00 and it starts off with a girl in a car giving a guy a ********, then a girl comes late for class because she has an appointmnet with her gynecologist. The kids are in clubs drinking. What has our society turned into. I was so upset after watching this last night. What kind of message are we sending our kids.

ok. i was so pumped for this to work and i am hoping for the best. it was way too jammed packed for a premeire…they really need to pace themselves. i like the little jokes thrown in for the fans of the old show but i had one huge problem, why are they starving the chick who plays silver and shanae grimes? i have watched shanae for years and she looks mad unhealthy. btw, naiomi looks 40 and KELLEN LUTZ (george) needs a bigger part and hooray for the return of boozy jackie! alas, not as good as gossip girl.

I thought the characters were a little fake and cheesy… Annie is just a little too much into everything and too many emotions over everything that it feels unnatural the others look a little “wannabe”. The story lines are the usual and miss a little realness and authenticity. But other than that, it’s entertainment for teens and nothing more.

Words cannot describe how HORRIBLE this show turned out to be. From the predictable plots and subpar wardrobe (forever 21 much) this show tuned out to be a lame knock-off! Haven’t we seen enough classic fish out of water stories (The O.C., GG, the original 90210). The only difference is that this show features no original ideas whatsoever!! Atleast Gossip Girl’s script is witty (and the wardrobe amazing) and the O.C.’s pilot episode was solid….NEW WRITERS PLEASE!!!!

I thought it sucked. It was a major eye-roller. The first two minutes they are basically showing oral sex–so not necessary. He could have been caught kissing another girl, and the point would have been made. Gossip Girl, is better, yes, but the point is that this show seems to be trying to keep up and fails terribly. And the main girl with the curly hair looks at least 25.

OMG ! 90210 was so BORING !!!
GOSSIP GIRL IS SO MUCH BETTER !!!!

Serviceable with potential to get better and better. As long as they write good storylines for the adult cast the show should be ok! The teen cast was mostly bland!

#75, it would be great if you could place yourself in the cast. Like I’d mentioned before…it was great to see that some of the members of the original cast were included…and I think the producers knew they had to do that. I’ll see how much more I will follow it…I don’t feel the distinction between the characters, nor do I have any empathy for their concerns…they lack the charisma of the older characters…that’s the problem with casting shows now days…the young actors have this old jaded look that makes them blend into the network…there is not a inkling of wanting to know them better. I hope this changes…and I don’t think they need to up the ante by making them more jaded…just get some good story lines in there…I watched the show and was a bit disappointed, but was happy to see the original characters…that made it worth the watch. Besides, maybe someone would hire me to be the costumer for the show, the ratings may be better…. = D

I LOVE LOVED LOVED this show! I might dare to say it’s better than GG, WAIT IT IS!!!!!!!

foreveronthedancefloor =] @ 09/03/2008 at 2:22 pm

**** ALL OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SAYING THAT 90210 IS BETTER THAN GOSSIP GIRL. yea rite. gossip girl kicks 90210’s ass its a boring remake. ugh gg is much better.

SUCKED… and anyone who knows anything agrees. The quality is bad. i’m sure teens will enjoy it anyway

wow. this show sucked.

I thought it was terrible. It felt vapid and contrived. I love the original series and the new 90210 does not seem to have the same charm. I knew something was amiss when by the end of the 2 hour premiere I felt nothing for any of the characters and what happens to them. And the character of Ethan (who I think is supposed to be the new Dylan) is terrible. The guy can’t act, is not that cute and should have been one of the side line characters.Overall a really miss and Gossip Girl really is waaaaay better.

It was horrible - does not come close to the original.

Thumbs down!

I was a huge fan of the original 90210. I don’t think this one can hold a candle up to the original. This is a show that you cannot remake. There will only be one Brandon one Dylon and one Steve. I think if they were going to remake this then they should have reached out to Brandon, Dylon and brought them back on the show as well. I am glad that Brenda and Kelly are back but they are not enough. I mean in this Kelly has a kid ??? who is the father??? Then the part where the principal and Kelly knew each other in the past, they had a picture together? Who is he and where was he in the original? Exactly he wasnt. I dont think this show should have been remade and i will always stay true to the original show and characters. We miss all the original characters.

i LOVED iT!! CANT WAiT TO WATCH iT NEXT WEEK! i THiNK THE BOYS ARE SUPER CUTE!!

i just watched the first part of the premiere but it hasn’t gotten me excited to watch the rest. the characters are boring, they should have started to give the characters more life, i think they wanted to give the show glamour and stuff and forgot the characters..

Within the first 10 minutes, sex, drugs and bad language. Hmmm, interesting, Id say bring the rest of it out and this show is a hit.

Gossip Girl is still my #1!

GG has that urban feel that makes you connect with the characters but im sure 90210 will get that feel sooner than later.

xoxo

It was awesome!!!!

I LOVED IT!!!!!

Couture girl @ 09/03/2008 at 11:03 pm

The pilot was not that great. I kept hoping it would get better, but it never did. The producers should have left Beverly Hills, 90210 as it was. A remake was not necessary.

I mean, it was great to see orginal cast members. But, that was the only thing that excited me.

I heard plenty of cheesy remarks. This show is just a mixture of MEAN GIRLS, THE OC, GOSSIP GIRL, and such. There was nothing really special about the pilot.

I was disapointed, I thought it brought a shame to the original, Berverly Hills, 90210.

What would Aaron Spelling say about this?

I’ll definetly continue watching it, hoping it will get better.

Oh, and what is up with Tori Spelling being paid less than Doherty and Garth to appear in the show? I know she wasn’t exactly a lead, but her father did create it…

=D

stop comparing, i like gossip girl and 90210, everyone thinks its a competition

I think it was pretty good as far as teen dramas go. MOST (not all) of the actors were pretty good looking, which is always a plus. I think that this show is going to turn into the new guilty pleasure. It’s going to be one of those shows that everyone watches, but doesn’t admit that they like it. I think that the character development is going to be interesting as well, and to see whose kid Sammy is. I wonder if it could be Brandon’s or Dyaln’s perhaps?? I’ll tune in, and admit to doing it!

Better than I expected (I expected it to suck). The female leads are excellent while the males are bland. The responsible-ness of the lead character is great and she is a terrific actress.

I have high hopes for this show and have already gotten into the story line…is Kelly’s son Brandons? I would love it if he came back. I think it would of been nice to just do a now of the original 90210 cast, what their lives are like now…that may of been boring, but so far with the pilot it was good. I like all the characters besides Naomi…but you always have to have that one girl on a show like this. Next weeks show will determine if it is good or not, you can’t really judge off the pilot as they have so much to get done in that 2 hour window, with introducing characters etc. So far though I am happy with it.

90210 Buff @ 09/04/2008 at 10:39 am

I absolutely loved the premiere! I didn’t see Silver as being the evil, blog creating antagonist type, so that was a pleasant surprise. Kind of reminded me of Janis Ian in Mean Girls. And I LOVED that the parents had such a strong storyline from the get go. Mainly because I get to stare at Rob Estes :)

i thought it was pretty good

This was not bad. Second hour was much better than the first. I will be watching this, just like I watched the first one.

I thought it was great. Nothing will ever be able to compare to the original BH 90210, but I loved it. Especially how there were original characters on it!

i watched the 1st 90210 with my mother every week as a child. and i have to the the new 90210 is a good show, people are mad because the 1st one is better? no mater what the 90210 is a classic and a remake cant change that, i did enjoy the show and plan on watching in every tuesday. As for it being as good as the oc thats a never, nothing will beat that show. (rip oc) =D

I concur with Couture Girl.

The show really is just a mixture of all those teen dramas and there wasn;t really anything special about the pilot.

BIG flop for me.

This show sucks!!! I was so dissapointed as i was watching it, The acting alone was horrible. At least with gossip girl and all the other shows the characters know how to act. The sooner they cancle this lame show the better the original 90210 should be ashamed.

I was a huge fan of the original so I thought I’d give this one a shot and it wasn’t half bad. It intrigued me enought to schedule my DVR to record it and I’ll watch it again this coming week.

I would love to see more of the old characters back for the original. Maybe if it becomes a hit will entice more of the originals to return. :0)

This way it would appeal to more age groups.

Not A Fan @ 09/07/2008 at 8:09 am

The writers of this show should be shot. It was an appalling attempt at trying to match the wit and engrossing appeal of gossip girl. The characters are shallow and the story lines are complete rehash.

This will last half a season and everyone will realise that hype is no match for storyline. boring boring boring.

I will give it a few more episodes, but I’m not holding my breath.

Very dissappointed

galfriday10 @ 09/07/2008 at 10:53 am

The new “kids” all look like dried-up 30-year-old coke-heads. While it’s true that Tori Spelling would’ve fit right in (sans the fake knockers), I missed the tiny hint of baby fat present during Brenda and Kelly’s early years.

Hollywood’s anorexia obsession is getting really old.

more people should be slender like them!! hello eople take a hint and exercise more - eat fresh fuit and veggies, stop eating so much junk.

Jessie sinting chan @ 09/18/2008 at 11:43 pm

GOSSIP GIRL FOR LYFE HOLMES!

Bambi7385 @ 09/24/2008 at 3:46 pm

The show is ok but I bet the reason why it is a “hit” so far is because all the original Beverly Hills 90210 viewers tuned in! I’m a firm believer that if you do bring back more of the original cast and give them more story lines your viewing audience would double! This show has the ability to be a show for all ages that the entire family can enjoy! I personally hope to see more Kelly, Brenda, Brandon, Dillon, Donna and David!!!!!! Why not….it can’t hurt?

Aaron Spelling would have been livid by the choice of Shenae Grimes for actress for this role. This lady cant act for s@#t!!! I have always been a dedicated 90210 fan and have watched every episode of the original series when I was younger. Gotta give Jennie Garth and Shannon Doherty credit, their performances are still awesome, even Ann Gillespie still has it, but this choice of Shenae Grimes for lead they need their heads read. She is so fake, her actings appalling, you don’t believe a word that comes out of her mouth and her stupid little giggles like shes trying to be nice grrr, its like someone scraping their nails down the blackboard. I just hope Tori comes back and has some say in this, seeing it was her Dads show Shenae is destroying and throws her ass right out of there before the show ends up as another failed remake because I sure can’t bear the thought of watching much more of her.

I think its an OK show but the actors are not all that great,, espacially NIOMIE she sucks at acting its like she is trying tooooooo freakin hard.. just like in that dumb movie she was recently in .. i think they just need someone to replace her and the show might be better..

But my favs are still GG and OTH

I liked it enough to tune in again… I don’t like the Shenae Grimes as the lead… her facial expressions are getting irritating…. she just isn’t right for the role. Naomi is a fabulous character! One problem is that the cast don’t look like teenagers….. Ratings will drop if they can’t keep the show on a regular schedule. If it isn’t off the air for holidays, then it is in some sort of repeat mode. It gets old trying to tune in only to be disappointed.

oh my god I am like addicted to this show!!! It’s SOOO awesome!!! I am seriously obsessing over it :P it’s like my favourite show!!!

I am a HUGE fan of the original series (all 10 seasons). In fact I still watch those episodes all the time. And I have to say I HATE this show. It is not nearly as good as the originals. In fact its incredibly boring. I have to admit I have only watched three episodes though and that is more than enough for me.

I absolutely love this show, although i have not seen the original 90210, i think the new series would beat it by a mile. BEST actors, BEST plot and BEST setting. altogether the best show i have ever watched

although, i dont like what there doing with annie’s character.. a little too predictable!
