2 04 2009
  • This was posted in September but I just found it now: CD Insight’s list of the top songs missing from the Beverly Hills, 90210 DVDs.  A lot of the original songs have been replaced due to the expensive cost of maintaining the rights.
  • Zap2it has “first look” pictures of next week’s 90210 with Tori Spelling (Donna).
  • The CW Source has two features with Matt Lanter (Liam, 90210).
  • 90210 and Gossip Girl photos are included in this gallery of stars on their sets.
  • Mark Schwahn’s preview for the next episode of One Tree Hill is on YouTube.
  • The governor of North Carolina said she “loves” One Tree Hill.
  • In the same article, Hilarie Burton (Peyton, One Tree Hill) says she starring in a local movie production.  There’s also more good videos with Burton on the Southern Gothic Productions blog.




Monday Night Reaction

2 04 2009

GOSSIP GIRL (The Remains of the J)

  • Why won’t Blair admit to Serena that she’s out?
  • Q1: “I have my first fan letter.”  “What, did you write it yourself?”–Dan and someone (Rufus? Chuck? Jenny?  I don’t remember.)
  • Q2: “Jenny might actually make it to 16.”  “It was a little touch and go there for a while.”  “Well I still have 24 hours to mess up.”–Rufus, Dan and Jenny
  • I miss Poppy’s long hair.
  • Here is the start of the Gabriel storyline.
  • Kind of weird/surprising that Serena is throwing Jenny a party.
  • How old is Poppy?  Older than Serena, right?
  • Yes!  Eric’s hair color is back to normal.  Looks so much better!
  • Q3: “What does Chuck Bass do at 8am?  It’s like you work out.”  “I do my cardio in the evenings.”–Dan and Chuck
  • Q4: “Does this feel like a sitcom to anybody else?”  “It feels like a reality show.”  “Good, so I can vote you off.”  “It would be almost scary if he wasn’t wearing plaid.”–Eric, Dan and Chuck
  • Why isn’t Jenny happy about the party?  I guess she’s just sad and damaged?
  • How is Rufus rich enough to be denied ANY financial aid/
  • Maybe Jenny knew Penelope was having a party and didn’t want to compete?
  • Serena getting Poppy to help her can’t end well, right?
  • Chuck is quite sneaky and smart.  As crushed as Vanessa was, at least she didn’t (have to) see them kiss.
  • 90210 promo with Tori Spelling saying “It’s not the same zip code without me in it.”
  • Q5: “You and Nate?  It’s that a little been there?  Done that?  Twice.”–Chuck to Blair
  • Q6: “Nate and I have plenty of sparks.  No, fireworks.”  “That was us.”  “Chuck, don’t act like I didn’t fight for you.  I did.  Hard, and for a long time.”–Blair and Chuck
  • Wow, have Nate and Blair not really kissed yet?
  • You can totally tell that Kelly Rutherford (Lily) is pregnant.
  • Maybe Rufus isn’t that poor.  But it’s really odd to get NO aid.
  • Really nice that Lily wants to live with Rufus and co.
  • Q7: “You know what I was just thinking?  Jennifer Aniston is like totally fine now.  I’m sure Brad doesn’t even feel bad anymore.”–Blair
  • Do Blair and Nate really want to be together?
  • Q8: “I asked her to meet me for dinner.”  “But can’t you just text?”–Nate and Blair about his plan to break up with Vanessa
  • Did Nate and Vanessa have sex?  Is it implied that they have?
  • Is Serena actually that unhappy?
  • For some reason, Poppy reminds me of a mix of The O.C.’s Anna, Summer and Taylor.
  • Will Serena tell her mom the party is back on?  Probably not.
  • Q9: “Maybe girl from Brooklyn cry.”–Dorota on why Nate isn’t there yet
  • Does Blair really want Nate or just anyone?
  • She and Nate ARE just friends.  Seems like only she wants more.  And for the wrong reasons.
  • OTH promo
  • 90210 promo
  • I love all the games Jenny took out!
  • Q10: “Have you dumped me for Vanessa?”–Serena to Blair
  • Love both Serena and Blair’s dresses!
  • Featuring the doorman is just a subtle plug for the Chasing Dorota series.  He’s her love interest.
  • Dan’s funny singing The Jefferson’s theme song.
  • Stupid Hulu plug.
  • Q11: “No, we can’t live on the Upper East Side.  We’re–”  “Humphreys.”  “Damn straight.”–Jenny and Dan
  • So Jenny doesn’t want to “rise” again.
  • Uht oh!  Jenny’s gonna get even.  This also can’t end well.
  • LOL Chuck hitting on Vanessa
  • Seeing Chuck and V kiss is an aw moment, just because the actors are dating in real life!
  • 90210 promo
  • Really like Jenny’s dress.
  • Q12: “There are strangers having sex in your bed.”–Eric to Serena
  • Why does Blair want to hurt Vanessa so badly?
  • So Nate doesn’t want Blair?  Only she wants him?
  • Q13: “You wanted to be more like Blair Waldorf.  Well, congratulations.  You succeeded.”–Nate to Vanessa
  • So Chuck and Vanessa not really getting together?  And Nate and Blair aren’t either?
  • 90210 promo.  Wow, they’re going all-out with these.
  • Q14: “It all felt so high school.”  “Well, we are in high school.”–Serena and Dan (About time someone pointed this out!)
  • Nice seeing Dan and Serena being friends.
  • Serena should be taking SOME responsibility.  It is kind of her mess, too.  But Jenny should’ve ‘fessed up sooner.
  • Q15: “I choose not to be a Park Avenue Princess on my birthday or any other day.”–Jenny
  • Like seeing the Lily-Rufus family dealing with family problems as a family.  That’s a whole lotta family!
  • Why does Serena think she’s too good for where her life at now?
  • OTH promo
  • You know, private school can cost just as much as college.  And if Rufus can afford that for two kids, he can afford college.  Maybe they decided to give no aid based on that.
  • Q16: “Mr. Nate called to ask your fave spot.  There where he want first kiss.”–Dorota to Blair
  • Q17: “I do wanna be with you.”–Nate (Aw!!!)
  • How old is Gabriel?
  • OMG!  Scott, Lily and Rufus’ son, is Dan’s fanboy!
  • Does Scott know who Dan is or is this just a coincidence?
  • Love Hungry Hungry Hippos!
  • Aw, the geese.  Too cute!
  • WOAH!  Chuck and Vanessa actually slept together?!  And is this going to continue?
  • Promo: No new episode til April 20th!  Ugh!  And the mistaken marriage in a foreign country has already been done on The O.C.  Think they did a Passover seder episode, too.

One Tree Hill will be posted later this week!

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: Desperately need some scoop on One Tree Hill. Are Hilarie Burton and Chad Michael Murray returning next season? –Scott
Ausiello:
They’re negotiating new deals now. Everything you’ve been hearing, reading, and seeing about how Warner Bros. and the CW don’t want them back is bunk, so don’t fall for it.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

So I watched “90210” last night, I thought it was alright. When will Dustin Milligan’s last episode be? -Erin
Dustin will at least stick around till the show breaks for summer. When I spoke with him on set a couple weeks ago, he was filming the second to last hour of the season (prom night, he was all monkey-suited up). He told me that next Tuesday’s episode — which Jason Priestley directed — picks up right where last night left off with Ethan and Annie breaking up on that make out cliff or whatever you want to call it. Apparently it’s going to be a crazy dramatic hour that takes place after dark as Silver continues to melt down and everyone goes in search of her. Oh, and p.s., Jackie Taylor (Ann Gillespie) is back.

Hey Korbi, is it true that Ethan starts to fall for Silver by the season finale? -Anonymous

That’s what I’m hearing. I guess he’s going to develop quite a thing for her before he goes and his feelings are not lost on Dixon.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

You said in a recent Mega Minute that One Tree Hill‘s Nathan gets an offer to play basketball in Europe. Please say he doesn’t accept! I need my “Naley” intact. — Bess
MATT: Maybe, just maybe, the Scotts’ marriage will dodge that bullet if Nathan instead gets recruited by a very local NBA team — which this photo seems to suggest. Then again, those Tree Hill kids have always been big dreamers.

Reader Quote of the Week: “Please for the love of god, kill Nate. If [Gossip Girl is] gonna jump the shark, the least they could do is have him die in a freak hair straightening accident.” (asho902, weighing in on Gossip Girl‘s flirtation with the Shark)





Melrose Place and 90210 Pt. 2

1 04 2009

Looks like there will be a 90210-Melrose Place cross-over after all!

Ryan Eggold, who plays Ryan Matthews on 90210, will take his character to Melrose, where we’ll see his life outside of school.

The news is kind of surprising since Eggold panned the idea of a Melrose remake.

So what do you think?  Can this work?

General Hospital has done something similar with its spin-off, Night Shift, and managed to maintain continuity.  But the original 90210 and Melrose Place cut ties very early on.

Guess time will tell!
