The CW wants to take us all back to Beverly Hills. They’ve courted Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas to create a contemporary “spin-off” of Beverly Hills 90210, according to The Hollywood Reporter:
Details about the spinoff — including which if any of the characters on the original series will make the transition to the new show — remain sketchy. CW is expected to make a decision whether to order a pilot by the end of the month.
I’m not sure if I’m highly amused, or depressed at this news. On the one hand, 90210 was a large cultural phenomena when I was growing up (which is dating me a bit, I suppose) but on the other hand, I was never a fan of it myself.
What do you think: yet another senseless resurrection of an old series, or a great idea to go with modern teen shows?

i swear if they make a pilot and it gets off the ground, someone MUST have sold their soul to the devil.
someone needs to chill. the original show was great and I look forward to seeing this one. I was a 90’s kid. that show was the synonym of my childhood.. not scooby doo. its not likely the new show will have the same classic mental aroma as the original but here’s hoping. if nothing els its likely to take me and my generation back just a little bit.
