90210: The Evaluation Results

24 05 2009

Thanks to everyone who voted in the polls.  If you read my reactions posts, you know where I stand on 90210 but I was curious to get all of your opinions as well, particularly because this was the show’s inaugural season.  And I have to admit, some of the results were surprising to me.

Most shocking? Liam won for favorite male character (with Navid one vote away!) but also came in second place for worst male (Ethan ranked first).  Not exactly sure how that happened–and not even sure why any of you like him to begin with!

Silver got your vote for favorite female, while worst female was a no-brainer: Annie!  Annie also got the (dis)honor of winning worst storyline for her performance in the season finale, as well as worst couple for her relationship with Ethan.

Adrianna came out on top in several categories.  Her relationship with Navid earned them favorite couple, as well as best storyline.  Additionally, Adrianna’s overdose early in the season was voted best cliffhanger.  Given these results, I was surprised she came in second for favorite female.

Kelly not only won favorite supporting character but beat out–with 71% of the vote!–Donna and Brenda, respectively, for favorite returning one.

As for rating the season/show overall, you guys gave it a 7.5 (since there was a tie for 7 and 8).

And much to my disappointment, you guys prefer 90210 to Beverly Hills 90210 54-46%.  Any particular reason why?

Come back tomorrow for the Gossip Girl results!

Tori Spelling on the new 90210

23 05 2009

“I knew that first and foremost they had to make it their own thing. It couldn’t be a remake, because people compare everything to the original. And they’re always going to find fault with new shows that are trying to recreate something that was very specific to its era. And, you know 90210 was the ‘90s. So I think it’s great when they pay homage to those fans…But I think truly to be a stand up show they needed to create their own characters and just have a time in a Beverly Hills setting. And I think they’ve done a nice job of really creating their own show.”

Random Thought

21 05 2009

Okay, so it’s actually not that random, but bear with me…

I cannot accept that the season finale of One Tree Hill was not the series finale.

It was the most perfect ending to six seasons of an amazing show.  I’m not the only one that feels this way, and I’ll be damned if I ever hear Mark Schwahn say otherwise.

Not only did the episode wrap up storylines, but it also circled back to so many things that made One Tree Hill what it was in the first place.

To continue next season without Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton is a travesty.  Yes, I understand they aren’t the only important cast members.  But you take away them and you take away a part of what makes One Tree Hill what it is.  And you do a disservice to the remaining cast, because you break apart so many relationships: Nathan and Lucas, Haley and Lucas, Brooke and Peyton, just to name a few.

I’ve respected Mark all throughout the series.  I think he’s the most brilliant and dedicated of all the teen drama show runners.  He has continually catered to the fans (more so than any other show has, as well) but now he’s doing something extremely out-of-character.  His willingness to continue the show without CMM and Burton just doesn’t add up.  I do believe there’s more to the story than what we know but I’m not even sure knowing what really happened would give me any satisfaction at this point.

I’m truly at a loss.  How do I give up on something that’s such a huge part of me?  Hell, I haven’t given up on Beverly Hills 90210 (and it’s been off the air for almost a decade!) or the current version despite how much I criticize it.

But how do I continue to remain dedicated to One Tree Hill when it isn’t One Tree Hill anymore?

It’s really sad that I’m actually hoping The CW will change its mind and cancel the show.  I truly think that’s the right way to go.

My only other hope is that next season, I fall in love with the show all over again, One Tree Hill version 2.0.

90210: The Evaluation

21 05 2009

Since this was the very first season of 90210, I think it’s important to do some sort of critical assessment.  But since I’ve pretty much done that already with my reaction posts, I’m going to turn things over to you.

Vote in the following polls by Saturday evening and then I’ll post the results.

Note: The format is wonky for the open-ended questions.  Please put your answer in the “other” space.

I intended to do this just for 90210 because, as I said above, it’s the “new” teen drama.  But if you’d like to see polls for Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill as well, post in the comments.

Spoiler: Ask Ausiello

20 05 2009

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

I just finished watching the Gossip Girl finale, and it was awesome. My question for you is about Georgina: At the end of the episode she announced she was going to be Blair’s roommate at NYU — strongly implying that she would be a presence, if not a regular character, in Season 3. But Michelle Trachtenberg is in NBC’s new fall drama, Mercy. What does this mean about Georgina and Gossip Girl? –Cory
Ausiello: It means producers thought ahead and made sure Trachtenberg negotiated a three-episode Gossip Girl “out” in her Mercy contract. You didn’t really think the Georgina-Blair roommate thing would last longer than that, did you?
