Remember that new television series from 1990 that had everyone talking.  It ran on Thursday nights and almost knocked Cheers out of the top rankings for a few weeks.  Some referred to it as a "prime-time soap."  It had Aaron Spelling's backing.

 No, not that one!!     *sigh*

The CW is hoping to capitalize on nostalgia by updating 'Beverly Hills 90210.'

CBS-Warner Bros. joint venture The CW is hoping the power of nostalgia will propel a modern update of '90s prime-time soap "Beverly Hills 90210." That show will be written by Rob Thomas,

Oh no, what an awful idea. Beverly Hills was a great terrible series.

It's funny...this show was all the rage in my high school as soon as it came out. But I didn't watch that kind of stuff so I had no clue what it was and hadn't even heard of it. Until my own boyfriend started blowing off our nightly phone calls once a week because "90210 is on, babe!" Yeah, he wasn't worth a shit anyway.

My best friend in high school and I started watching it because it was excellent for making fun of. I remember laughing my ass off over the ep where Scott shot himself in season 2, not because accidental gun deaths are, as a rule, a huge larf. It was just the fact that they hyped it so much as being some big deal that someone would die, and then it ended up being the most inconsequential member of the group, and in the most ridiculous way. And the reactions of the other members of the group were awesome, considering none of them were really friends with him. :) It was fun.

Good times.

Why not do an update mash-up & make it Beverly Hillbillies 90210?! (& it'd be pronounced Jethro-style "nine naught two one naught"!!!)

Wouldn't this update be called 20109? Brandon and Brenda arrive in Beverly Hills... ON MARS!!

I liked the first year of 90210, and the suicide show was very funny.  I also had a huge crush on Shannon Doherty, although not as big as the crush I had on Jenny Mcarthy.  I think I then went into the  phase that I would only enjoy "serious films"  or "art" films and did not watch TV as much.  After awhile though I began to realize that many of the 'serious films" and "art" films sucked and I was like I want to watch some of the stupid films I enjoyed so much like Dumb and Dumber or Slaughter House Massacre.

 These characters will be morphed into an hermaphrodite named Brendon!!!
