90210

So last night I happened to watch the 90210 TV show. Other than having to be told what the eff was going on (like the original) it seemed....I'm not going to lie. Brutal!! ( like the original)



That's a little unfair considering that I never watched the original. I never had cable as a kid and there is a shitload of things that I know nothing about. I didn't know that Charles was in charge, or what tied the Family, or even who was the boss. Uncable in the 80's, in Canada meant that we had CBC ( for hockey and Anne of green gables) and whatever local channel was available. The only thing that I watched as a kid was three's company. Long after it was cancelled. Nothin like a bunch of stereotypical gay jokes!! Anyway I liked it out of convenience. And John Ritter was a genius.



The first time that I saw 90210 was at a friends house and I was very dissapointed. Not just because it involved a bunch of characters that I couldn't relate to but, it was a bucnh of characters that I couldn't relate to. Not long ago on an American website they posed the question, "What are the top ten High School TV shows?"

And who won this battle?

90210

Degrassi Jr High wasn't even on the list!

What the Fuck?

That's the only show ever that showed teenagers as teenagers. ( not to mention that they were played by teenagers. )



I admit that I get really upset about dramatic TV shows at times. I hate it when people say, "you got watch this show, it's so realistic"

You mean like 24? I watched three minutes of the first season, saw that they had a black president. Sure now it a reality now, but back then.



Or Party of Five. How much trama, and bad luck can a group of kids have. Honestly every episode was the end of the world. Parents die, kids an alcoholic, dude gets cancer, etc. C'mon!!!



90210 is the hardest to understand. And the new one has a black guy in it. But of course he's adopted, cause why would a successful black family go to West Beverly. They couldn't stretch it out a little bit. The only way to insert a black kid into the script was if he was adopted by the guy who becomes the principle of the school, blah blah blah blah.



Admittedly I didn't hear much of the dialogue because I was too busy making fun of it. My girlfriend hates watching TV with me.



The worst part of this blog is that I'm currently writing a TV drama.

At least if I think it sucks it might be popular!!
