After a two week layoff 90210 finally returned. Again I was not disappointed with the episode, that's 7 for 7 so far and i am not being biased. No rants today as Kelly Taylor did not appear so we will jump right into the random thoughts on last night's episode. Speaking of Kelly Taylor, rumor has it that Jennie Garth has signed on to do a few more episodes this season as has Shannon Doherty. Do you think there was a better offer out there for either one of them to do another TV show or movie? Probably not, this is where you belong with the rest of the WBH class of '93, whenever they wake up and realize their time in the spotlight has come and gone and you might as well go back to what made you. It can't be any worse than whatever you are doing now. Rumor also has it that Jason Priestly will be returning in a director's role only and will not be making an appearances on the show revising the role of Brandon. I listened to an interview with Jason Priestly on sunday on the AP Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest. Believe it or not Jason Priestly has directed the most episodes of BH 90210 during the 10 year run. Jason just finished up the first season directing "Secret Life of An Merican Teenager" on the abc family channel (same channel as GREEK (more on Greek later)). If you have not seen the show do yourself a favor an do not look for it on the guide, do not set the dvr or as i was informed today there do exist some people (not mentioning names) who do not have dvr and use a dvd recorder, purchase the first season on dvd or anything of the like because the show is horrendous. It is a cross between a very bad 80's movie (think john Hughes), an after school special and High School Musical 17.
on to the random thoughts........
-Navid shows up at the promises or whatever they call it rehab center dressed in all purple with white shoes. WHAT???????????? who had this genius idea? his dad is a porn producer, do you think one of the fluff girls told him if you dress up like barney and wear grandpa's white loafers i will let you use my body as an amusement park? by the end of the show we realize he went there because he likes adrianna. So that's what you wear to try and win the heart of a coed? no wonder his dad is in porn, you ever see the clientele in porn shops?
-Naomi needs to start dating Ty ------ on another show. She is awful, awful acting, awful everything. they are bringing in the adopted child of the principal and naomi's mother to help out naomi's character and he will live in the house with them. They need to do something because you just can't get rid of her she is too deep into story lines on the show and we are only in episode 7. If you get rid of naomi you lose the following 1. the love triangle between annie, ethan and naomi 2. her mother and the adopted child with the principal harry. she is only around because she is president of the PTA, if naomi is not there she would really have no role and that would be awkward to have her around. 3. the best friend/ druggie scenario with adrianna 4. the beef with Silver. Silver needs to hate on someone. 5. the rich stereotypical Bevery hills girl. She is the only one who fits the stereotype on the show. Annie and Dixon are from Kansas, Ethan can fit in in anywhere USA having family dinners at Chili's, Silver is anti establishment, Navid wore purple in public and belongs in the west village and adrianna is not hot enough and doesnt care to be. So there Naomi must remain, I am sure the writers had high hopes for her just like they did for Mondale on the original.
-Whenever Tabitha appears on the show it is a guaranteed laugh. I never watched Arrested Development but i heard she was great on that too. A few lines of hers last night as she was drinking her "kool aid" --- Kansas Women have no Kohonas and I can squash you with an eye roll.
-Cindy Walsh would have never have done what Debbie Wilson did last night. Thats why we would like to see and do things with Lori Louglin that wouldn't even consider with Carol Potter.
-From the homecoming posters posted in the halls they are only sophomores. That means 3 years at West Bev left. I thought they were at least juniors. They are all driving and passed puberty.
-homecoming was weak --- where was Emily Valentine lighting a float on fire? Adrianna busting out of rehab does not compare.
-slow dancing to fast music at the dance?
-ethan and annie ---- screw Naomi she might be my kelly taylor in the next generation.
-Navid and Adrianna ---- as the story line for adrianna has been becoming increasingly interesting, i think she is the most real character as real problems that a 16 year old in beverly hills might have, the story line for Navid has declined or actually never was. his only redeeming quality was that his father was in the porn business and thats not going to be enough. Therefore what to do but put these two together. This was sort of Donna and David. They both were odd fits. Donna was the buffer between the fueding best friends, Kelly and Brenda. So Donna was not expendable. David on the other hand was. He was weird and did not fit in with Steve, Brandon and Dylan. So how do you make him work on the show? Simple you make his dad marry Kelly's mom and they become brother and sister and now they have to like him even if donna and david break up because he will always have that connection with Kelly. And if david's dad and kelly's mom break up you have Erin b/k/a now as Silver. Kelly and David becoming brother and sister saved David's character. Or else he would be hanging out with Scott Scanlon and fighting Scott's Uncle for bed time with Scott's sister Sue, and nobody wants to see that. The Scanlon family was not cut out for Beverly Hills thats why Scott shot himself. The David and Donna relationship was more to save Donna's character as she needed a boyfriend as that was the basis of Brenda and Kelly's existence, boys. Nobody was dating Donna, remember that dress she wore to the dance that she couldnt move in? Only someone so desperate to be in that clique would date her. Recall David spent the entire first season trying to get Kelly to notice him. kelly kept him out of that clique but now she had no choice they were related and lived in the same house.
-I am putting this out there, please comment or e-mail ---- Dylan and Brandon became poster childs in the 90's. Junior high girls had their posters hanging in their rooms, had all the school supplies with their pictures on it, guys were growing sideburns etc..... Are Annie and Silver comparable on that level? I posed this question tot he only teenager i regularly speak with but she has not yet watched the show (she has them on her dvr). A friend called me a couple of weeks ago to tell me that he finally has a tv replacement for Tiffani Amber Theissen a/k/a Valeria Malone and Kelly Kapowski ------ Silver.
-House party next week ---- sex? drinking and driving? Kelly coming home to spoil the fun?
till then see you next week.
-I said i would get back to Greek earlier, so for those who follow, LC guest starred on the season finale playing herself of course. Terrible season tremendous season finale with a huge cliff hanger that made this dreadful season worth it. And the pledges finally got initiated after one full year plus of pledging.
-I am more and more impressed with Chuck Bass each week
-Man crush is growing for Brody Jenner --- the man won't back down to no one
-I reccomend Dirty Sexy Money --- good show -- rich people and scandals
-30 rock starts this week --- if you didn't catch the season premiere on nbc.com definitely check it out
-caught forgetting sarah marshall on netflix this week -- didnt know full frontal male nudity was ok.
-it seems any movie with Jonah Hill will be funny
-and put kenneth the page in the movie, forget about it
happy halloween all, i wonder if there will be any 90210 costumes out there

Jeff- Kudos for the great post. Your really hit the highlights on the button.
I want to address the guy from detention with Naomi, is this the hispanic version of Dylan? He was very hot and actually much cooler than Ethan. I think he would really enhance Naomi's character.
One a Gossip Girl note- did anyone catch Caitlin Cooper as Jenny's model friend? She looks so different- great nose job! And also I can't believe that Blake Lively's older sister is Teen Witch- Top that!
Moose-- They clearly need to do something with Naomi's character. she is almost as lame as Ethan. I think Ethan hit his high when he was getting road head in the pilot. Was the detention guy spanish or did he just speak spanish? I do not see him being part of the inner circle but definitely someone naomi should have a relationship with for a few episodes.
I did notice Caitlin Cooper in Gossip Girl but i just figured by the time time she was on the OC everyone tuned that show out. That was when Summer was saving rabbits and the legendary Binger was throwing around money.
No idea who Teen Witch is.
