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.”

Nine years ago today…

Below is a great video that reflects on all 10 seasons and includes nearly all of the first-billed characters.*

*Not included: Jim, Cindy, Nat, Ray, Carly.  Also: Matt’s last name is Durning.  It is incorrect in the video.

YouTube Video of the Week

10 05 2009

Most of this video has nothing to do with teen dramas.  But at :20 to :56, it has the best recreation of the Beverly Hills 90210 intro I’ve seen done by “real people.”  Check it out and you’ll see what I mean.
