the new 90210 - a review

so i just watched the pilot for the new 90210. here are my thoughts:

  • shannon dohroty can't act. it's like she's going through the motions. jennie garth at least can fall in and out of the kelly character in her sleep. but dohroty was just painful. and when do we find out about this kid kelly has??
  • if i do the math right, andrea's daughter should only be 13 or 14 - she was born somewhere between 1994 and 1995 seasons. so i can't see how she's old enough to be at west beverly and hosting the student news - a position that never goes to freshmen unless they are the main characters. the math for silver is about right though. she was born around 92 i think.
  • find it funny that rob estes was on melrose place for 3 seasons as kyle. not as mr. principal guy. do they think we never notice these things??
  • overall, it wasn't terrible. and it will be competing with house and it will have to be taped. so it better come up with some fabu plotlines quick to keep me hooked...

now. i need to find time to listen to the new nkotb cd so i can review it (and fully be 13 again)...

ps - are any of you still reading? you've all been so quiet!

Oh Snap! The Doherty can't act! Can't wait to check it out in the actual 90210 in 26 minutes!

her performance was just painful. and then they give her the job of directing plays? not buying it.

and i like the character of silver. something about her. i keep picturing the episode where she almost drowned in the bathtub though...

I'm here! Was going to comment on the "lame" post but never got around to it (I say it's not lame to like stuff you liked when you were a kid; it is probably lame, however, to like new kiddish stuff, like "The Hills," as I do). :)

I didn't watch the new 90210; will have to try for next week.

Nostalgia isn't lame says the guy that collects Transformers.

Jen thought the show was alright. She didn't comment on Brenda, other than she's back. Is Silver Kelly's sister?

<Don LaFontaine>In a world where fashion and Brand names dominate. A zip code is all that separates you from popularity and osterization. Is Kelly's daughter Brandon or Dylan's? Is Ian Zeiring's career so washed up that he will beg to come back as a repeat guest star?</Don LaFontaine>

silver is kelly's sister.

girl at work today said brenda looked kinda rough. i told her that her career hasn't been as successful as kelly and donna's - what with her never getting along with her costars causing her to leave the show and all. so naturally she hasn't been able to keep up the plastic surgery...
