I have checked it out last night...it looks pretty good and I'll keep watching it to see how it goes
90210

- Start date
My cable was out last night, conveniently from around 7pm-10pm so there was no chance of me watching this. Something tells me I didn't miss much (though apparently, the ratings were decent).
I have some serious issues with The CW's obsession with snobby rich white bitches. The sooner the network fails, the better.

Hey, nice av!
90210 isn't the type of show that interests me, but the killer ratings hopefully will save CW's ass, which I do care about, because that means CW won't tank and take Reaper down with it.

The girl who plays Erin Silver is friends with some of my co-workers. I have yet to see the show, but she was here the other day. Very cool cat, that one.
Eh, I watched about an hour of the premier and wasn't too thrilled with it. I never really watched the first one, either. Yeah, in this new 90210, the girls were hot, but the acting sucked. I never really liked shows about school or work-related shows much.
I'm sure most cable nets would love 5 million viewers. Sure, TNT had 7.something million for Raising the Bar, but that's an exception, not the rule.
Besides, everyone has to start somewhere.
well... after i posted, and then watched some youtube videos about the bluths i went back to 90210 and decided, i'd rather play castle crashers. i probably won't watch ever again... unless more of the bluth family show up at some point.
I didn't think the premiere was all that compelling and if it wasn't 90210, I probably would have changed the channel. The characters weren't all that interesting and I don't think they did a good job of getting the ball rolling. None of the little dramas they tried to introduce really grabbed me. It was nice however to see Nat and the Peach Pit again. I was also pleased to see Andrea Zucker-Vasquez' daughter as a smart ambitious teen going to West Beverly High even if it was a brief shot on a classroom TV screen. Like mother, like daughter. I even liked the "What's she? 30?!?" jab from the teacher. It was supposed to be a reference to her maturity, but I'm sure you all know what else they were making fun of. Okay, so they show wasn't the best overall, but I'm still going to keep watching. Why? For the same reason I stuck with Enterprise. 
Speaking of teen dramas, I needed a break from the RNC coverage last night and managed to catch the first episode of a show called The Secret Life of the American Teen. I wouldn't call it groundbreaking or anything, and it'll probably get cancelled, but I did enjoy it a lot more than I did 90210. The characters and the drama both grabbed me in a way 90210 didn't.

As someone who didn't watch the original 90210 very often--only once in a blue moon really--I was only mildly curious about this. I checked it out and got about what I suspected--frothy, empty fun. I think the cast is pretty good--one of the biggest problems with teens shows that I have is that they cast blandly pretty actors who all look alike. I got the two brunettes on the show mixed up in the first hour. The guys, save for Dixon and the gorgeous English teacher, were pretty forgettable. Ethan especially is not heartthrob material in my book. I think AnnaLynne McCord is very good though (she was a great 'love to hate her' type on Nip/Tuck last season) and Shenae (sp?) Grimes is very likable.
I'll probably watch tonight as well.

Really? Ooooh, I might have to check out some of his other performances. I think he's great, and probably the sexiest new guy on TV in a long time.
Actually, when you filter out the Chicago market that was preempted for baseball during the premiere, 90210 earned 4.65 million for its first ep. Last night's episode earned 3.3 million viewers. It got a 2.1 in the 18-34 youth demo. Of course, House hasn't premiered yet.
It was replayed on Wednesday night, I think. I caught three seconds of it before starting the TiVO'ed version from Tuesday. CW sure is pushing the garbage out of it. Gotta give them a little credit, at least.
I'd rather have my eyes eaten out by maggots.
I'll go with that one.
Save some for me.
cool...I'm enjoying it so far.
