TRAILER MIX: 90210 Is Back! With A Slightly Different 90s Guitar Riff!
By Dan Hopper

90210* B-Roll of Beverly Hills landmarks / palm trees

* Vague, stylistic adjectives (cooler, sexier, more provocative, Beverly-er)

* Every possible configuration of cast members pallin’ around in front of a colorless background

Aaaand that’s a wrap — the trailer for the CW’s new 90210 series is here!

Grace says:

Navid? Silver?

wtf is this 90210 Gladiators?!?!

Nik says:

I could only stand to watch half of it. I thought Lucille Bluth had more class.

sugar pop. says:

i thought only pirates had to live by the code…

Lostie McLost says:

Looks lame. I’ll probably watch it. It’s nice to see Michael from “The Wire” all cleaned up.

David says:

Don’t worry The CW will be going under soon, so it can’t last that long.

I find it funny that the woman from Full House is supposed to be from Kansas.

marcylu says:

“if you wanna live in the zip…

you gotta live by the code.”

get it? zip code? doesn’t everyone call the place they live their “zip” ? m.fing clever!

JHop says:

I don’t want to have to watch that show.

But I probably will. I hate me sometimes.

Jessi says:

NO NO NO!!! That’s Darcy from Degrassi in the family structure from South of Nowhere going by the name Beverly Hills 90210!!!

This is either the best or the worst thing to happen to my TV addiction. Either way, I expect a lot more biting of popular teen dramas. Where’s the Skins element?

A. Yzsaakc says:

And a whole lot of love!

Lex says:

I couldn’t have said it better myself, JHop.

alfred says:

so they’re all porn stars and douche bags?

and this is different how?…

Brian says:

This already looks more dated than the original (which only went off the air 8 years ago). It will be a bomb for the ages. 4 episodes and out.

I stopped it after the second actor described their character as fun and energetic

da sarkastik ninja. says:

i wonder if darcy’s gonna write about it on her myroom page…

Beeeee says:

Wait…what-the-Lucille-Bluth?

Pupster says:

Hey, a black guy!! We know it’s not the OC…

marceline says:

I love how they put the black guy in every shot they possibly could.

“My character’s name is Dixon. And he was rescued from a foster home.”

It’s like Aaron Spelling is writing this from the grave.

T.L. says:

Did anyone else lol when that character said she had a “perfect family” and they showed Lucille Bluth?

rinjonjori says:

When they write off Tristan Wilds character they should have Bunk Moreland and Shakeema Greggs from The Wire come from Baltimore to arrest him as Michael. That would make this show 10x edgier than it ever would dream of being… Michael could teach them about the street code.

Sailor Xtasy says:

I’m sorry-but I feel really offended that the black token character happened to come from a bad foster home…i won’t be watching this crap-i’m sure there are real black people in Beverly Hills that don’t have to be rescued by the great white hope….this shit is pissing me off.

RylantH says:

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit! The teacher looks like he’s the same age as the “teens”. I wonder if the “token” black guy will say things like “Damn!” “Sh!t!” “And that is whack!”. And Lucille Bluth as grandma?!? I’m just going to be looking for Buster the whole time!

Hip-Hop says:

More Porn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charles says:

Is this the trailer for “90210″ (2008) or “Beverly Hills, 90210″ (forever ago)? Because I do not think they are re-inventing the 90210 franchise for this aging decade. No, fashion-wise, it looks like a prequel. And the terrible, worn-VHS quality of the YouTube doesn’t help any.

I would only watch for Lori Laughlin and Jessica Walters. And ONLY them. The way the CW cut that promotion… it felt like there is NO tension at all between those kids! They have absolutely no problems. They live great lives and have great friends. Not even the friends on FRIENDS were that happy. Ever.

Oh my word, they’re all doing drugs. That’s why they’re so happy.
Oh my word, it’s a teen soap. Of course they’re doing drugs. So what could be the twist? Lucielle Bluth is doing drugs. No, not even that would be a shocker.

My hopes and aspirations for this show, pre-trailer: ^_^
My hopes and aspirations for the show, post-trailer: :(

Girl Sundae says:

I dunno, it’s a combination of my three favorite shows (Arrested Dev, Degrassi:TNG, and Full House) in a remake of a show I was done with by the time I turned 9 (when that crazy emily chick started getting boring). This could go either way.

waltponce says:

Yeah, I give it 6 episodes, before they start having guest stars from the original. 4 episodes after that it tanks.

And what’s with the “Literature” teacher being younger than 40% of the cast?

Oh, and the douche playing the “star-athlete”, yeah…aren’t athletes supposed to have muscles? I dunno many “star-athletes” that have the body of a 13 year old boy, and man stubble!

tsuyoikuma says:

So they’re really doing this? I had thought it was a joke and after the promo am still a little unsure, but they’re really doing this? Has society not progressed any further?

Lindsey says:

Ok, so…90210 is for reals coming back, NKOTB is touring, and Muppet and Fraggle Rock movies are in the works. It’s like my entire childhood is coming back to me, surely to be ruined and appreciated far less than I did 10/20 years ago. Now all I need is Debbie Gibson and a Trapper Keeper, and I’d be set.

Victor says:

I love how you can tell that girl is a free spirit because she wears headbands.

LaLa says:

Why do some of the characters only have first names that just sound like the writers were trying too hard? And those fashions? Ugh. I thought the end of the writer’s strike might mean more original and creative things would come along, but once again, I overestimated Hollywood.

Scott says:

GRACE: “Navid? Silver?”

I thought Grace was going for a “Brian Austin Green’s character was David Silver” thing, but she went a totally different way. Good on ya, Grace.

IMHO, the teaser raises more questions than it answers. To wit:

* What about all the former West Bev kids who are said to have signed on? Jennie Garth? Tori Spelling? Anyone? Anyone?

* Will former Full House star Lori Loughlin spawn the new acronym “FFHSILF”?

* How does West Beverly’s Journalism Department budget compare to similarly sized high schools? My God, the Journalism Department! Although it’s a nice nod to the original series that the journalist kid looks fifteen years older than the others.

* How is this not just a west coast Gossip Girl?

* Which of the following is true: (a) America’s high school students are way more into sex and drugs than they were when I was in high school, (b) I just wasn’t hanging out with the right crowd in high school?

* What manner of unspeakable acts did Annie Mills’s principal-father commit so as to have to leave his school district and transfer all the way from Kansas City to California?

* Will Jessica Walter as “not your typical grandma” adopt a Beverly Hills Annyong?

d. says:

“my character is a lot of fun” translates to “my character is a total slut”

i dont know how many times you can say “fun” in a promo but it cant be good if its over 2. why are they trying so hard to convince us this is going to be fun?

spending the past week remembering and revisiting 90210 was way better. where the hell is kelly and brenda? they’re the only characters i need. if any of these girls is as backstabbing as kelly taylor it might save part of the show. probably not

Considering my watch record for the original show (1 episode), I can sadly answer one question. Jennie Garth is supposed to be a guidance counselor at the school.

I now feel dirty.

lolasrevenge says:

I love the fact that there is an African-American who is part of the cast, but….

…unfortunately, you can’t put the genie back into the bottle. I mean the African-American character is already adopted, but maybe you can introduce a Black FAMILY that already lives in BH. And please, not a single mother with a deadbeat father, or a family that won the lotto and that’s why they were able to move to BH. Just a hard-working professional nuclear family that just happen to be African-American and just happen to live in BH. Is that too much to ask, is it?

What is this, ‘Different Strokes’?!? Why is it that Black people must be presented as dejected and/or helpless, and the only way that they can achieve affluence is through the charity of well intentioned White families?!? Didn’t we learn anything from the ‘Cosby’s’!?!

I know that these writers, producers, and directors have an African-American neighbor, co-worker, or friend and they know that this potential storyline is tired and offensive.

I am very happy for the Black actor who was able to land the part, because I know that as an actor you’re just trying to eat, but when are we going to stop settling.

I just hope that the storyline doesn’t live up to the stereotypical racist formulas that we have all come to hate.

yeah…the cw blog site shut me down after I wrote the above comment.

…guess they’re still in denial, huh…
