Beverly Hills 90210: the new incarnation

[lesbiassparrow]

My god, I hate all of these people. Except for crazy granny, she's okay, though clearly slumming it on this show. And stop trying to convince me you are 15! Can't you exploit actual 15 year olds?* Or people who are at least under 25.

And why does the one black kid allowed in Beverly Hills have white parents? TELL ME THESE THINGS, OH FLIST.

* The English teacher looks younger than most of his students. Maybe he is one of the poor who has worked his way through college at the age of 14 so he can teach the rich kiddies?

ETA: Clearly if I want a teens angst in high school show I should watch Gossip Girl. I would but I am so scared that there is no way that Chuck Bass on my TV can possibly match up what I've heard and seen of him.

Haven't seen the new one and probably won't. It's because I don't watch TV (too cheap to pay for cable or satellite) more than anything else.

I just thought I'd point out that the original BH 90210 kids were *supposed* to be my age. The characters started as 11th graders when I was in 11th grade. It was so cool at the time. But for show purposes, everyone repeated that year. I don't know if that made them a year younger or what.

But yeah... all those characters in the original should be about 34 (my age currently) with David being the younger guy at about 32.

They've got the old ones on as elder statesmen. Or principals and parents. It probably would have been more fun if they'd made them pretend to be high school students.
