Jon Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 So this starts tomorrow in The US of A, it's basically a remake of the orginal, which was a bit before my time, but i'm told it was the beast that started teen drama's. Just bought season one of the original, and apart from the funky hair and questionable style, I thought it was crap - though i've only seen the pilot. Anyone a fan of the original? planning on checking this out?
darksnowman Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 The original was a beast of a show, you're right there. A classic. I have no plans to check this new thing out, but if I ever come across an episode of it when it airs in the UK I'd likely have a gander and see if it recaptures the glory days.
Retro_Link Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 lol, when I saw the thread I was like... "WTF is 90, 21, 0?" Never saw the original and no interest in this new take. Why did you buy the first season? surely it's online somewhere?!
gaggle64 Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 God bless Hollywood and it's relentless desire to reanimate any and every rotting corpse it can dig up.

Jon Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 Oh dear lord. Great man, you've just reminded me of the general intelligence of this forum. Thanks mate.
Paj! Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 I have no interest or intention in ever watching this, but I love that girl in the bandana and heels. My kinda girl.
Slaggis Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 I've seen so much coverage on it, I can't wait to finally see an episode of it. So yeah, I'll be watching when I can. American teen shows = My kind of thing.
Pit-Jr Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 i used to watch the original in its pre-internet era glory. It was like an event really. Very cheesy and over dramatic Having said that, this new version looks pointless without Shannen Doherty

Pit-Jr Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 She is in the new version. Oh is that right, is it starring role or just a few cameos
Jon Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 Oh is that right, is it starring role or just a few cameos From what i've read, it's just a few cameos.
Pit-Jr Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Jon i think you did the right thing. Watch the old episodes and skip the new one altogether, the cast looks incredibly forgettable
Ashley Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Jon i think you did the right thing. Watch the old episodes and skip the new one altogether, the cast looks incredibly forgettable ! Not Jessica freakin Walter! (speaking of, go make an Arrested Development movie yes?) I shall give it a try but cautious. Although apparently its edgier. To be fair its got Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah (Freaks & Geeks and Life As We Know It) behind it so they know the game really.
Ashley Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 So I've seen the first two episodes....meh. Dull. They attempt scandel (blowjobs, 15 year olds drinking, drugs) but it comes off tripe and forced. Shame they got some good people. AnnaLynne McCord was excellent as a pyschobitch on Nip/Tuck, but here shes a cliche. And Jessica Walter...well she should be on Arrested Development. She was playing a watered down version of Lucille, but not as good as the original (Lucille, only have hazy memories of the original 90210 as I was quite young). Will give it a few more episodes but unless it suddenly gets a lot better I won't bother. (Rob Thomas really has a thing for Wichita)

Shorty Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 Great man, you've just reminded me of the general intelligence of this forum. Thanks mate. Scuse me? Don't judge us based on Oxigen Waste
RoadKill Posted September 4, 2008 Posted September 4, 2008 I looked this shit up and it looks faggy as hell, pass
