9-0-No They Didn't.....

It is with a heavy heart that I report to ya'll that the "New" 90210, is not cutting it in my books...like not even close.

I watched the series premiere on Tuesday, and was saddened that it just didn't do it for me. However, I had many things on my mind (as my softball team had just been crushed in our game) and figured I may need to give it another chance. Well that chance came last night with the repeat of the series premiere. I didn't make it past the first half hour.

Symptoms:

• Cheesy main characters Annie and Dixon from Kansas who are NOT Brandon and Brenda
• Mom and Dad (whilst very attractive) very unbelievable as Annie & Dixon's rents (is it even cool to say rents anymore?)
• All the girls are SOOOOOOOO skinny. I mean, scary skinny. I can appreciate thin, and slender but these girls were too, too, thin.
• The whole teacher/student relationship with Naomi & Ryan Matthews - really?
• The acting - OTT (Over The Top) and so not natural
• Annie's convo with her mom on the cell phone in the car with cute boy really ruined it for me (ahem- he is in the car with you)
• What did they do to the Peach Pit??????

Treatment:

• Keep Kelly & Brenda in the major plot lines, they were in the original and why we still watch
• I like this girl who steals money from Naomi - expand on her some more
• Silver (Kelly and David's little sis Erin) has got some potential to be a character we can all root for
• Bring in some guest appearances (Donna, Steve, Celeste, Claire, Valerie) and have them stir it up
• Slow down the story lines, help us like the main characters and give it some substance. It will never be Gossip Girl, so let's try to make it something new and fresh

That's all folks. I will be tuning in next week to see the return of Jackie Taylor (AWESOME) and to see if it has improved at all.

What were your thoughts? Love it? Hate it? Tuning in next week?
