SERIES OF THE WEEK: Beverly Hills 90210

I decide to dedicate this Saturday to one of those series we never really “got over it”.

Characters such as Brandon & Brenda, Kelly, Dylan, Donna, David, Andrea, Steve, Valery are really hard to forget.

It was one of the first series talking about high school issues, of course in a 90’s view. It opened the door to series such as Dawson’s Creek, The OC and most recently Gossip Girl.

None of the cast succeeded in becoming a “movie actor” but some of them kept on gifting us with a smile like Jennie Garth (Kelly) in the 4 seasons sitcom What I Like About You; or fulfilling the gossip magazines like the famous “producer’s daughter” Tori Spelling (Donna).

Both of them, even if in a different way, reappear on the spinoff.

Others recently reappeared starring an important character like Brian Austin Green (David) [the guy is just HOTTTTTTTTTTT] in Terminator: The Sarah Connor’s Chronicles.

Anyway we’re talking about a series that’s just back on the screen, in a postmodern version but still 90210.

The spinoff is going pretty well in the US and Canada, indeed the episodes are among the most bought and downloaded on the internet.
I’m strongly convinced that the original Beverly Hills 90210 was, is and will be unique, but I do not dislike the idea of the new version.

I think there should not be a rivality between the 2 versions.

So far, it’s too soon to evaluate, but it seems to promise surprises!!
We’ll so how far it’ll get.
