But I felt like a real failure when my short attention span and general busyness prevented me from appreciating that 90210 was coming back. Yeah, I&#8217;d seen the ads and heard rumors about the return of Brenda, etc., but it hadn&#8217;t really set in what this all meant. It wasn&#8217;t until <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/?cat=158\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah Morrison<\/a> responded to my IM yesterday with &#8220;90210 starts tonight&#8221; that I realized I should be really excited about this. I mean, I loved the original. We even had a party in my dorm room for the last episode.<\/p>\n<p>So now that I realized I should care, I got home and set the DVR.  Record series. Check. Before I could watch though, the Republican National Convention was on. I hadn&#8217;t intented to watch, but since it superceeded Jeopardy, I figured why not, and am I glad I did. The RNC is better than an episode of Saturday Night Live! They even got the guy from Law and Order to host. And then the baby momma drama, I mean, it might has well have been on the CW! But I&#8217;d have to say the highlight of the night was one line, &#8220;They broke both his arms, but they didn&#8217;t break his honor.&#8221; Thanks dub-yah, I don&#8217;t even know what that means, but coming from you anything sounds profound, right? One more quick thought and then back to the point. I&#8217;ll admit I hadn&#8217;t heard about McCain&#8217;s VP pick until last night, and I am still very confused. Either it is a pathetic attempt to woo Hillary supporters, or McCain really, really doesn&#8217;t want to get elected. I think I&#8217;ll follow the Republican campaign for comedic value, but I&#8217;m definitely voting for Barry. Like, duh.<\/p>\n<p>Ok back to 90210. So it seems that the producers have taken a cue from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yobeat.com\/issue9\/degrassi9.htm\" target=\"_blank\">another great show<\/a>, and decided to make a new version, with some old favorites, and some new characters to spice things up. It&#8217;s pretty much the same as the original but totally different. I mean, there is a black character. The family came from the only place more ridiculous than Minnesota, Kansas! The most misguided of all the original cast, Kelly (who joined a cult and got hoked on coke before it was hip) is a, duh duh duh, a guidance counselor. The new Brenda has HUGE hair. Oh and in an effort to woo action sports enthusiasts, Rad! star Lori Loughlin plays Cindy Walsh, I mean, whatever her name is.<\/p>\n<p>The premiere episode clocked in at two hours. But I didn&#8217;t even get though the credits before I was squealing with glee. Silver! That&#8217;s Mel and Kelly&#8217;s mom&#8217;s daughter. NAT! I was right back in high school, and everything was great. But after about 20 minutes, I realized I was just watching a bad WB show. Two hours may have been a bit much, even for me. Will I continue to watch all season though? Of course, I have a DVR and it&#8217;s already set. Will the show make it past one season? Probably, since the CW doesn&#8217;t seem to kill shows. Do I really feel younger when I&#8217;m watching it? No, just sort of pathetic. But what can you do. I love the new TV season!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archives Now that I have decided I will be 25 for the rest of my life, it&#8217;s important that I keep up with what the kids are into.
