  • Great pilot

    8.5
    "Great"
    By tigerdude22, Apr 08, 2011 Report Abuse
    I have never heard of this show before but I have this blog where a user from TV.com requests on what to review even if I've never heard of it. I catched this pilot online and I actually thought that it was a great pilot. It's situations that teenagers like you can deal with. I thought the actresses in this show were beautiful and I said to myself "Wow". From what I understand, this show has comedy, romance, and drama. There were funny scenes in the pilot that made me laugh so hard. The dramatic scenes were also well done as well. I don't want to make my review too long by summarizing the plot so I'll try to make it as short and sweet as possible. The Wilson family move to Beverly Hills. Annie and Dixon discuss of what their first day of school would be like at West Beverly Hills High. Annie watches the school play rehearsals (this in the middle but there is more to this pilot). Dixon sent a text message to Naomi by telling her that Ethan is cheating on her. Annie gets punished by her parents but she sneaks out of the house to go to Naomi's party. There is still more to this pilot but I don't want to summarize the whole pilot because it would be too long. I love that Lori Loughlin has the role as Annie's mom. The character that I really like was Annie and then others are pretty good but I don't quite remember all of their names. I think the character I dislike though was that blond girl... I didn't she just seemed kind of "eh". Overall, I thought that the pilot could have been a little better but this was great pilot of "90210". 8.5/10

    The good thing about the series,is that some of the characters from the original series are involved in the series premeir. Kelly is the guidance counsler at Beverly Hills High,remember little Erin? Now,she's 16 and Mrs.Silver (Kelly & Erin's mom) is back to drinking.Brenda Walsh shows up in part 2.Dylan and Kelly did get togather and now she has a son,Sammy.
    Oh and remember Hannah,Andrea's kid? She goes to Beverly High as well.But that's all there is to say about Andrea and her current status.The Peach Pit is still around,but very different and Nat is still running it. All the original characters are played by the original actors,execept for Erin.

    Now,Imagine a mordernized version of Beverly Hills 90210,with the mentioned above.That's what the series is.It's a good start and I'm enjoying the fact that some characters are put in mix of this.
    It was a good mix of history and the new generation.
    It's also making me want to start the original series all over again.I guess we'll see if it stays this good or not.moreless

  • I need poor stories

    It is first time that I watched this tc series. One and the most important reason to watch 90210 is that I have been waiting for tv-series as good as The OC. However, I did not encounter with poor boy loving rich and the most popular girl. ooh! I forgot that there is an adopted boy like Ryan(The OC). Maybe my first comment will be a comparison between The OC and 90210, everything on this show represents very affluent people that I expected but some of the events are very extraordinary such as jet travel by Ty. I hope that producers have reduced the extraordinary event at following episodes or they have put a poor :)) boy in this show.moreless

    This series starts up alright, but is a bit too explanatory for my taste, they could leave some information for the imagination. I.e. the quote from Dixon "I just don't want to run the whole adoption story over and over again". I think all viewers realised that he was adopted or at least not the child of both Harry and Debbie... I just think it was a bit predictable to run that story in the first episode. I did however like that it wasn't explained who the father of Kellys child is. That leaves something for the imagination and I think 90210 is something I might tune in to watch on occasion but I'm hardly going to wait for it during the week... Too bad.moreless

I'm Navid. I covered your story. I kept the whole adoption angle out. Figured that could be its own piece. People, they eat that crap up. Dixon: Okay. Navid: Anyway,you can sit right here. Jeremy's out all week with pink-eye, so just, uh, watch where you put your hands. So, anyway, I hear you're trying out for lacrosse team. Dixon: Okay. Navid: I may cover it, but I can't promise any photos. Just watch out for Ethan Ward; he's the star player. You'll know him when you see him. He's the one with the spotlight shining out of his ass.
