90210 SERIES PREMIERE RECAP

I have to say this was one of the better pilots I've seen in a long time . It kept to the orig . roots but it didn't over do it , and it added some new material to the show as well . Let's start from the begining shall we . To start off , I'm gonna split this post into 2 posts , only because there's so much to cover considering it was a 2 Hour Premiere .

First off , I love the fact that in the opening two minutes , Viva La Vida was playing in the background , and for some reason it worked , and I loved it . Next , in the opening few mintues the new clan , The Wilson's arrive at their Grandma's new digs . Which I have to say is a big upgrade from the orig Walsh Casa . Soon , Dixon and Annie arrive at West Beverly High , which looks the same for the most part , expect it has TV's everywhere in the halls , and high tech computers . One of the Teacher's at West Bev. tells Annie that her Beverly Buddy , reference to the orig . Pilot , would be Namoi , played by the wonderful Anna Lynee McCord. Soon , another refernce to the orig . show is made . Andrea's daughter Hannah , is doing the news broadcasts , and the teacher makes fun of her stating ," She looks like a 30 year old" . CLASSIC . Only because , Gabrielle Cateris in the orignal was pushing 30 when the orig. debuted back in 1990 , man that's harsh . Yet , very clever .

After that scene , the theme song came on . And It was little faster , yet I still loved it . They didn't totally change it , they just spruced it up a bit . Now , 17 Mins into the Premiere we see Nat!!!! It seems to me , good ol' Nat is having a little trouble with the Coffee Machine , same old Nat , I Love It! A few minutes after, the camera cuts to Jennie Garth!! . Still looking good , after all these years. Kelly and new Prinicpal Harry are catching up , because the two of them were neighbors , but Harry did not go to West Bev with Kelly . Soon , Naomi gets into some trouble on the first day , not turning her paper on time. TSK TSK . But , the nice girl Annie is , she offers to help . A few minutes later , you see Mcord and Grimes , side by side , and I realize this ... McCord is really tall , and Grimes is short as hell .

The camera soon cuts to a scene with Louglhin and Grimes , and I soon notice that the two of them really do look like mother and daughter . Great Casting Choice . 45 Minutes into the first hour , we all of sudden see some of the cars these kids are rollin in , and I wonder this . How Much Money Did the CW get for this show?? Some of these cars are crazy expensive . Audis , Ferrairs , are you serious??? The CW is no Fox and no NBC .. where they got this money I'll never know!

The Camera then cuts to Louglhin and Estes discussing Annie and the way they were talking they really were acting like The Walsh's . They are huge Worry Warts , and are very protective of their children . Once Again , this makes me happy about the remake. At the end of the first hour , Namoi's Sweet 16 Party , looks nothing like the party that the pilot had in the first hour of the Orig . Pilot . This party was glamorous , dark , and looked like alot of fun . These Kids Know How to Party Baby .

To end the first hour , I want to state this . For CW this show is a huge risk , alot of sexual references , and they must've said " Ass" about 10 times . But , I think In a way , The CW needs to push the envelope with this show , because if they don't they are Screwed with a capital S .
