Hey all my 90210 buddies! Well, for those of you that don't know me very well, I was the biggest Beverly Hills, 90210 fan out there (well, at least among my friends). I had every episode recorded (on VHS of course - no TIVO in the 90's) with index cards filed so I knew which episode was on each tape. There were almost 30 tapes - 10 years of episodes. Not too shabby! I will admit towards the end, I wasn't as obnoxious with having to be home by 8pm to watch an episode, but for the first 8-9 years I was!
Anyways, when I heard they were making a remake of the show, I have to admit that I was somewhat disappointed. They were going to destroy the original. But, I knew that I had to watch. So, on Tuesday, I settled onto the couch (thank you to my wonderful, loving, & caring husband for letting his VERY pregnant wife watch on the HD big screen while he and Baker went up to our bedroom...and fell asleep while Baker watched "Wipe Out"...we'll save that for another time) and was ready to go. I was anxiously anticipating the opening credits. I wanted to see if they saved the same tune, used the same format, etc. I was a little disappointed that they didn't. But, the song was updated and similar - good job producers! So, there I sat getting ready to be engrossed for the next 2 hours.
After the first 45 minutes Shane came downstairs and asked how it was. I said "it certainly isn't the original and the acting is pretty bad." Well, then the 2nd hour of the show really heated up and this is when it started to get good. Did you know that Kelly has a kid!? Who is the daddy? Did you know that "Silver" is really Kelly's baby sister, Erin? Did you know that Andrea's daughter, Hannah, is on the journalism staff in charge of "Blaze TV"? Of course, I hope that Kelly stays around because she was always my favorite. And, next week she gets into it with her mom, Jackie! Oh, it's gonna get good!
Welcome back 90210....I hope this next generation (god, I sound like I am 50) can do just as well as the first! Good luck and I will watch again on Tuesday!!!
